Security by obscurity is no security.
I guess, apart from my suse firewall, I have no security. For a non-expert (or even the contrary of an expert), and somebody who doesn't want to spend money in more devices, things are not understandable. I have never found a how-to-website, that clearly says: do this 1, then this 2, then this, and explains why - without using tons of words I've never heard before, that informs about the drawbacks and that is so serious, that I don't get the feeling, in following its advices I am exactly opening access to this specific site or ruining my system, especially since most things have to be done as root. Probably it is not even possible to set up such a how-to, thinking about all the different systems, routers... So for people like me, the only hope is that the firewall as set up by default when installing the system and using strong passwords, is enough to protect me from a disaster... Maybe I could call this "security by luck". -- Daniel Bauer photographer Basel Barcelona http://www.daniel-bauer.com room in Barcelona: https://www.airbnb.es/rooms/2416137 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
