If I'm behind NAT and only browsing a handful of trustworthy websites, where does the security risk come from?
- adrianN 5y agoHow many third party domains do the trustworthy websites connect to?
- forgotmypw17 5y agoGenerally speaking, none. I verify this in the Network Monitor pane. Otherwise, I do not consider them trustworthy.
- adrianN 5y agoNice, then you're in a very low risk group.
- mnl 5y agoMay I suggest joining Ubuntu Advantage and getting ESM? That's free for personal use and you'd get support until April 2024. I'm keeping a 16.04 box like that simply because I'm too lazy to redo stuff that works and with that I don't have to worry about it until 2026.
- forgotmypw17 5y agoIt's my only working machine right now, and I'm not going to risk an OS change. It came with this one installed, and I'm gonna let it stay for the time being. Also, the installed browsers are already a bit on the slow side, and I can imagine they would only get slower if I upgraded them.
