Even with lockdown config, please kindly enable W10 SmartScreen (Device Security), apart from that good config.

Thanks for sharing

Nice setup and I appreciate the fact you apply a efficient backup policy, thanks for sharing.

If you're using Web Of Trust (WOT) browser extension, make sure you know a bit on their history:
WOT (Web Of Trust) privacy scandal

If you don't mind me asking... how is the Malwarebytes Browser Extension performing?

Thanks for sharing your configuration!

It was on, but I did elevate protection from warn to block for apps and files, as well as Edge.

VPN.ac is so good. Nice pick.

Sorry about that. I used Regedit to disable Windows Defender; I didn't realize I could disable the A/V component without disabling all of it.

It looks promising. When you try to visit a page on MDL, you never get to see the page; MBBE blocks it instantly. And it doesn't seem limited to known malicious sites; when I try to visit a (probably) disposable site with no rating in WoT, MBBE again springs into action. It may be subject to some false positives here and there, but I rather prefer that over something like TrafficLight, which almost always remains green and silent.

Thanks for the heads-up about WoT. I was aware that they had been less than forward about their information gathering practices, and remember when Mozilla pulled it from the extensions gallery.
