[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 1121193, member: 32260"] Even without additional Firewall rules, you are safe against most cafe hackers. If I recall correctly, the Firewall profile in the cafe will be Public (Network Discovery, File, and Printer Sharing are turned OFF), so Remote Desktop connections and Admin shares are blocked. Of course, when you are in an Internet cafe, it is recommended to use "a password manager and strong passwords, multi-factor (or passwordless) authentication, etc.": [URL unfurl="true"]https://malwaretips.com/threads/troy-hunt-a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mailchimp-mailing-list.135256/post-1120702[/URL] As in the case of any security, it can be slightly improved by advanced users at the cost of usability. :) [/QUOTE]
