I also use RDP.  One thing you might consider is changing the port
that RDP listens on

I suppose a connect scan would still pick it up, but a "lighter" scan
wouldn't raise red flags when port 3389 shows as being open.

No offence to the dev's but I just don't let Myth play outside.  No
telling what stranger will drive up and offer it candy.
