@wcannon-aleo is this something you could look into?

Note: `jsonrpsee` just declared that it's more or less stable a few days ago; I'll check it out, it might be the time to close https://github.com/AleoHQ/snarkOS/issues/754 as well.

Oh, and just so that no one else tackles it in parallel, I'm already working on this.

Let's consider the the things we've used the RPC server for so far: - obtaining various information on our own node - actively interacting with our own node - providing...

One extra point for limiting RPC access as a policy: if we add private endpoints again, we would need to have a way of securely inputting **and** transmitting passwords in...

This is still desirable and will be pursued in the near future.

Not applicable to testnet3.

In addition to this, there used to be [a proposal to use UPnP for automatic port forwarding for testnet1](https://github.com/AleoHQ/snarkOS/pull/1218). I'll try to revive it for testnet2 shortly.

I just filed https://github.com/AleoHQ/snarkOS/pull/1575 that should aid port forwarding with UPnP-enabled routers.
