Yeah, this.  If you are on a home network, what is the reason to force
SSH?  Do you think that your encrypted network behind a router is going to
somehow be penetrated by hackers, and that they would somehow be interested
in an SS10?  Anything behind a router is only as insecure as that setup and
whatever ports you set up to be forwarded to the outside world.  Didn't set
up any ports to be forwarded to the outside world?  You're okay.
