[QUOTE="Practical Response, post: 1080748, member: 109138"] You are asking why it's necessary for a user to learn an advanced application "3rd party" if they do chose to use it. First and most importantly, misconfigured security will cause all kinds of issues, maybe even open vulnerability that did not exist before hand, basically expanding the attack surface of their device. Secondly and more importantly, users that use advanced products but do not know how to use them will be lax in their habits with a false sense of security. If the user copies a user guide of how to install and set up a product according to another's uses, they have no idea how the application works, why those changes were placed and what to do when something occurs.
