Advanced Plus Security Gangelo's PC Security Config

[Gangelo]

A late config post in 2022 due to a recent new PC Build.

@Gangelo Please tell us the reason why you prefer OpenDNS DoH, does it offer any advantage compared to Cloudflare, Quad9 or even NextDNS?

Also, I would set UAC to Always Notify.

Please specify the 3rd party scanners used in Periodic scanning.

OpenDNS has never had a downtime throughout the years I have been using it, contrary to Cloudflare which had outages a few times. No need for NextDNS because all DNS queries go through Adguard with the Adguard DNS filter. Quad9 is a solid option but since F-Secure handles the security aspect I do not need an antimalware DNS service.

With voodooshield installed, I do not need to set UAC to always notify. It would be overkill.

I do not use 3rd party scanners. The periodic scan is scheduled in F-Secure.

Ok, but 3rd party periodic scanner with a different av engine would be welcome,, F-Secure may miss something

Well, I could set Defender to do a periodic scan or use an online service like ESET online scanner.

Great configuration. How is the performance when both F-Secure and Voodooshield are running together?

 

[Gangelo]

No noticeable performance drop with this configuration. F-Secure is notoriously light and voodooshield has zero impact.

Went back to Bitwarden as it is more convenient in day to day use.
Also testing Firefox. Again... I want to love this browser but every time I flee back to Chromium.

Welcome to FF and please uninstall Edge & Chrome thank you sarcasm

You have no idea how many times I have done the back and forth....

 

[Digmor Crusher]

Running the same as me now, VS and FSecure Safe. So light and unobtrusive.

Hello @Mystic,

I have the same configuration for a couple of months. Never had problems with the combo. My system is running smooth.

That was quick..
Slow speed on heavy JS websites, incompatibility with some websites, video playback issues, subpar android app.
Goodbye FF, I might revisit you in the future. Or not..
