+## Security recommendations
+
+If you're running a service on innernet, there are some important security considerations.
+
+### Enable strict Reverse Path Filtering ([RFC 3704](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3704))
+
+Strict RPF prevents packets from *other* interfaces from having internal source IP addresses. This is *not* the default on Linux, even though it is the right choice for 99.99% of situations. You can enable it by adding the following to a `/etc/sysctl.d/60-network-security.conf`:
+
+```
+net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1
+net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1
+```
+
+### Bind to the WireGuard device
+
+If possible, to *ensure* that packets are only ever transmitted over the WireGuard interface, it's recommended that you use `SO_BINDTODEVICE` on Linux or `IP_BOUND_IF` on macOS/BSDs. If you have strict reverse path filtering, though, this is less of a concern.
+
+### IP addresses alone often aren't enough authentication
+
+Even following all the above precautions, rogue applications on a peer's machines could be able to make requests on their behalf unless you add extra layers of authentication to mitigate this CSRF-type vector.
+
+It's recommended that you carefully consider this possibility before deciding that the source IP is sufficient for your authentication needs on a service.

 ## Installation
 
 innernet has only officially been tested on Linux and MacOS, but we hope to support as many platforms as is feasible!
