Advanced Plus Security TUXTALK - 2026 Configuration

[TuxTalk]

My 2026 Config.

Yes it has an old interface but the truth is : I Like It. Simple , no upselling, no aggressive Popups. Cheap License.
And the detection rate is great.

Interesting multi layered mix: NextDNS, NordVPN, Gdata (with 2 engines) and Crowdstrike (one of the first next-gen)

The only thing I would add it's a full image system backup tool for fast recovery.

How is NordVPN with Crowdstrike so far?

I assume he isn't using Crowdstrikes actual endpoint protection software. Recently NordVPN added some crowdstrike features to their Threat Protection Pro.

I went to G Data since i like their privacy policy and it always scores good in tests.
Super light on the system too.

Is crowdstrike only protecting you when VPN is on?

No, also when VPN is off, but i am 24/7 on VPN.

I'm using Nord to & very pleased so far for about three weeks no issues, I have it on virtually 24/7 as it causes no problems, a potential issues for some users is Nord requires an email address & its used to activate it, that is not a problem for me but maybe for some?

Crowd strike works fine. Did you test it ?

I make manual backups and always do a “
Reset this PC” plus all my data is in 3 clouds.

I haven't tested CrowdStrike as such, its there in the background & found a few trackers etc, I'm very happy with Nord after not using it for many years, its on my system the fastest speed I've had slightly faster than Mullvad, so far after weeks CrowdStrike for myself is another layer of protection & caused no problems, its worth users giving it a try IMHO

Add : OOShutup+ and Dark Reader Extension for Firefox.

In my opinion, CrowdStrike has one of the best anti-malware engines, just like Deepinstinct.
Unfortunately, it doesn't scan scripts, but it holds its own.
It's a product I really appreciate.
