I have a database application (or search engine) called Solr.
I connect to it through port 8983.
I do this from PHP code, so I add and remove entries from it through php.
I have a firewall on my server.
I set this firewall to allow connections to and from this port (8983) only from the IP address of my own server. In other words, only allow IP servers access to this port.
It is safe? Or am I still not thinking so? Will others be able to "simulate" my IP address and act as a server?
This is because otherwise, others can add / remove entries as they want from their own IP addresses ...
