[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 971114, member: 37647"] If you can, try to educate the elder about which security concerns are relevant to home users and which are not. It sounds to me like he wants a setup to protect nuclear secrets, which is overkill. Nowadays, since we are all behind a router, attackers cannot penetrate the system straight from the internet like they could with the old-style modems. If a user is on a trusted home LAN network, it is not likely that he will be targeted. That happens to businesses and public figures, not to ordinary home users. [/QUOTE]
