Nice Configuration, but you should add some second opinion malware scanners.
Second opinion scanners are not working in real-time and don’t affect the performance of Bitdefender in a negative way. They are there to get rid of possible infections that your AV might have missed.Thanks ! @FireHammer
What would be your opinion as i have BitDefender now.
Hope second opinion software can work well with the current and or cover up what BitDefender is lacking off
Consider using NextDNS. @SecurityNightmares has a nice guide here on MT and I’m sure he can help you setting it up.
