Advanced Plus Security LDoggs Security Setup

[HarborFront]

Hi @LDogg

I know you are strongly in favor of using Netcraft. Have you read their privacy policy?

Netcraft | Privacy Statement

If you find Netcraft's privacy policy unacceptable you can use NoScript (for FF) which has XSS protection as well and add the necessary phishing filters in uBO. Also, Malwarebytes offers some protection against phishing too.

In addition, for FF, you can set DNS-over-HTTPS using Security Filter in CleanBrowsing DNS which blocks access to phishing, malware and malicious domains in the link below

CleanBrowsing phishing protection test is mentioned here

I'm fine with the Netcraft privacy policy. I feel their protection is strong enough to warrant it personally on this end.

I'll have a look at this DNS-over-HTTPS. However I cannot use any other DNS service due to connecting to a pubs wifi when DJing.

I did mean. I don't believe so.

Edit: Not installed Shade. Too much info it collects on installation.

I'm currently using CFW + Syshardener v1.5 + Netcraft/Scriptsafe (Comodo Icedragon/Opera) as my security setup. Mineroff is just in a test period so currently I will not include this within the setup currently.

Just wondering if there's anything out there which doesn't trample on OS Bootup time or resources.

Thanks for any replies.

Depending on your CFW settings even SysHardener can be redundant. I think you're perfect to go, I wouldn't add anything else. You're locked down and if it works great and doesn't affect the performance, just make sure you have safe habits and you're good to go sir

Thank you, @RoboMan. I always have safe habits so not too bad on that end.

Hehe, the statistics of getting infected with safe habits and general knowledge exist, but are minimum. As long as you have a script and ad blocker well configured, some app container and you know the Donny do's and don'ts, you should not have any issue.

Minor update:

- Scanned full system with Zemana nothing found, but CPU usage is higher than normal. Idle should be 48% but floats upt to 54-58%, could be doing this as Window Defender is disabled.
