I want to **send logs** (syslogs) to my Graylog server ( **remote** ) **over the internet**. Planning to do it using **rsyslog**. It is a good idea to do so? How can it be more secure, if not already? Or any other secure alternative? Not looking for VPN based options. ---

Use a Syslog TCP input and configure it to use TLS. You can additionally setup client-certificate authentication on the input however, if your sending host(s) have static IPs you can lock the input port down with firewall rules. ---
