Adjust Docker port exposure warning.

Add short warning under each code snippet where docker-compose ports are modified with link to longer version of warning located at dns-networking#ports-to-expose.
Rewrite the Port section with additional information that Pangolins' defaults ports 80, 443 and 51820 should be exposed on all interfaces.

 ## Ports to Expose
 
 :::warning
+Docker automatically creates iptables NAT rules when container ports are published (using `-p` or in docker-compose via `ports:`), which can bypass host firewall settings such as [UFW](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncomplicated_Firewall) or [firewalld](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firewalld). This may cause ports to be accessible from external networks even if they aren’t explicitly allowed by your firewall.
 
-**Docker Port Exposure Caveat:**  
+**Mitigation:** For ports that should not be exposed externally, consider binding them on the host to the loopback interface (i.e., `127.0.0.1`) in your docker-compose configuration. For example, instead of using:
-Docker automatically creates iptables NAT rules when container ports are published (using `-p` or docker-compose). These rules can bypass host firewall settings (such as UFW or firewalld), causing ports to be accessible from external networks even if they aren’t explicitly allowed by your firewall. Always verify your exposed ports (e.g., with [nmap](https://nmap.org/) or [RustScan](https://github.com/bee-san/RustScan)) and ensure you only expose the ports that are absolutely necessary. For more details, see [Docker’s port publishing documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/network/packet-filtering-firewalls/#port-publishing-and-mapping).
 
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "8080:8080"

+
+you can restrict the exposure only to localhost interface with:
+
+```yaml
+ports:
+  - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
+```
+
+This approach limits access to that port only to the host machine. Note that this method is not suitable for all exposed ports—use it only for those services that should remain internal.

+Always verify your exposed ports (e.g., with [nmap](https://nmap.org/) or [RustScan](https://github.com/bee-san/RustScan)) and ensure you expose **only** the ports that are absolutely necessary. By tunneling out to the VPS, you are effectively including the VPS in your security boundary, so you must secure it as part of your overall network strategy.

-Following ports should be exposed on Operating system level.

+For Pangolin to work correctly, the following ports must be open at the operating system level and exposed on all or external interfaces (i.e., bound to `0.0.0.0`).

+### Correctly exposed Pangolin's ports
 
-Its important to **ONLY** expose and verify exposed the ports you need. Effectively by tunneling out to the VPS you are including the VPS in your security boundary and should consider it part of your network and secure it as such.
+By default the config defaults to using the bellow settings that these ports are exposed on all interfaces:
 
-:::
+```yaml
+gerbil:
+  ports:
+    - "80:80"        # TCP port for HTTP/SSL verification and non-SSL resources
+    - "443:443"      # TCP port for HTTPS, necessary for the Pangolin web UI and SSL resources
+    - "51820:51820"  # UDP port for WireGuard, used by Newt and WireGuard clients
+```
+
+Ensure that your host firewall settings allow incoming connections on these ports.
