Ayyyy War Thunder You still play it? I was lucky I got few hours today, I rarely have time these days

Well i have been playing few battle pass seasons hardcore but lately littlebit on / off gaming, dont even have premium time or battle pass bought currently. I just came back week ago as my sisters son said i should grind war thunder more, and sadly i saw i missed kungstiger from latest battle pass wich is sad Im not looking forward this season battle pass rewards but looking after buying kungstiger if it falls in price around 50$ and probably grind the game more in future than before

I stopped playing for the grind few years ago, it just wasn't fun anymore. I pretty much just ignore the battle pass/events and play whenever I get free time.

I got sidetracked because of WT . I wanted to ask, how is performance with ZoneAlarm?

Well war thunder, you either have to grind or stop completely its that kind of game...grinding battle pass is like going 9-15 work...

Well i have been using zonealarm for few hours and performance wise i cant see any difference in anything, surely i used adguard before so brave is very very fast compared to edge+adguard combo.

Could i see any difference in performance if i ran 3d mark benchmark? I doubt theres any difference since antivirus will stay on game mode/silent mode meanwhile..(if theres any)

My network speed dropped a bit on speedtest results, but it might be because im using 5g mobile internet and its evening ( busy times in my town people using alot internet probably)

Only if you play to get the new shiny tanks, it becomes a chore then. I don't play to grind stuff at all. I like WW2 stuff, I have most of the cold war stuff unlocked plus few modern MBTs but I won't touch em because the gameplay is just not fun for me.

Yeah, Adguard really slows down the internet. I meant more like Windows shutdown/boot, explorer launch and file browsing, app launch speeds.

I mostly play 6.7 germany but sometimes 8.0 swedish. i have decent lineup on 6.7 usa too. But i enjoy mostly ww2 stuff because its interesting era in history.

I have no issues with those, performance wise i dont feel like difference because i have ran few years with ''gaming pc''
I still havent performed full scan to see if the memory usage will go lower, but everything works butter smooth

Im not sure have you seen my new pc but its here

Showcase - Moonhorse 2024 gaming pc

So i sold my last computer due warrantly ending and parts were cheapish, otherwise it was running well. So i sold my last computer for 1150 and upgraded to this prebuilt with 450 eur. Mainly point of upgrade was windows upgrade from home to pro, better cooling ( water cooled) and better parts...

5.9.2024

- removed zonealarm next gen, didnt ask for refund since it was only 15 eur. reason for uninstall was that many apps were not launching correctly, files not downloading correctly outside of browser, high ram usage ( not valid reaason to uninstall for me ) . It seems zonealarm is improving fast and i might check it later again if it gets major upgrades.

+ added McAfee back on every family device
+ Firefox as browser with ublock origin + bitwarden
+ cloudflare as dns on firefox DOH

Im good for now but im thinking about either hardening windows or adding comodo firewall since McAfee has poor protection against unknown files, not that im any risky surfer and need those but doesnt really hurt to add something.

11.9.2024

- removed mcafee because it keeps turning off on android itself -

+ added trend micro maximum security on every family device
+ google chrome as browser
- bitwarden
- trend micro extension
+ adguard : cloudflare dns throught encrypted hello client


i have 8 years of trend micro license left and lifetime adguard so i use this combo, and trend micro on android is perfect.

i also bought nextdns but im currently trying it out, dont really need it but i did not add it to my config yet. i think i cancel it after month.

13.9.2024

Added NextDNS

All security filters enabled +

 

[Moonhorse]

- Removed trend micro because submitting urls to them takes years it seems, otherwise it was working fine
- removed NextDNS

- clean install updated to 24H2 windows update -

+ Using microsoft defender as antivirus with default settings
+ Adguard desktop as adblocker
+ Microsoft edge as browser, only extension im using is bitwarden
+ Cloudflare dns with encrypted hello client enabled on adguard

I guess this is the most simple setup , and overall most stabile config to go with, also on benchmarks microsoft defender beats mcafee, trend micro and avg , avg was worst using cpu most

A lot of people already use Defender. It's no coincidence. It's become quite good at defence. Plus, I think people are tired of the problems with 3rd party AVs. Unfortunately most 3rd party AVs are fat, bloated with all the unnecessary crap. Not the right direction.

I've recently gone for a far more simplistic approach than in the past too,

Totally agree. It's hard to find a home solution these days that isn't loaded with craps

I agree with this. Keep it simple. As simple as possible, but effective.

Take Kaspersky, for example. Its main protections are Database, KSN and Systemwatcher. Completely simplified. All other modules do not give stronger protection and do not catch more malware. So, it may be redundant. Not to mention the extra crap. VPN, filsehredder, etc. What does that have to do with protection? Nothing. They can just sell the crap at a high price. Boring and bullshit.
