Re: vpn

by Kenneth Schneider

A VPN will not stop you from being hacked. It’s mainly used to possibly hide your LAN from hackers. If you use your web browser to connect to a fraudulent site they can still monitor your keystrokes to steal personal information.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM IF YOU NOT EXACTLY know what you do. as i was following some of your problems, you have up to now NOT the knowledge to use this kind of solutions. try to learn to use the "on board" tools of opensuse. especially "YAST2" its a wonderful tool. you are able to install and remove "all" software you want inside yast. and do much more things in all the yast modules. no need to hack in some special commands inside the terminal. (if you belong to leap) see the mail from carlos with the search functon inside yast-softwaremanagement. if you REALLY need some special software not provided with a new install of opensuse and the automatically installed repository's ask FIRST this list. do not install from a source you found somewhere. as more repos you install as more problem could be. AND ask here for a graphical solution. i think this is the way you should go. at the moment i think only the packman repos are needed additional for opensuse. how to do, ask here (there are somewhere without them you are not able to play all the audio or video files you found across the web. simoN -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org

That you feel the need to ask is evidence you should go back to Leap and alter your machine as little as possible. The questions is impossible for anyone but you to answer and since you do not know the answer, ... Tumbleweed is an ever changing environment which has great system stability but must be administered with understanding and knowledge. The requirements for Leap in that respect are similar but much less. The likelihood of your machine(s) being compromised is(are), or becoming of them becoming unusable is great! -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner(a)opensuse.org
