Tyrizian's 2016 security setup

[Tyrizian]

This is my config for 2016

Forgot to add: I also use DNSCrypt Proxy with DNSSEC

and as for Data backups, I meant to put PEA + Keyfile + Cloud

Good setup

Looks pretty good. I would reccomend an imaging system software in case of a software error or a malware infection to go back before it happened.

I would like to suggest either Macrium Reflect or Aomei Backupper for a backup solution. Both have a good free and reliable version.

Agreed, Frog's suggestion is a good one.
I use Macrium and have for a long time.

@Tyrizian, your dual booted Windows with Mac system is nicely appointed. I think it's a safe practice not keeping important data, but I shall reiterate the advantages of creating, sometime in the near future, a system image as espoused by our wise fellow members whom know. I say this because (yes..) I need to do this too!

An effective method which prevents infection by rendering exposure from <clicking> on sorces of malware as temporary, is to browse using a virtual sandbox.

Thanks you for sharing your configuration. I liked it!

I have nothing to add. Thanks for sharing.

Well better to have external HDD to store your snapshots for backup, since it can save time for reformatting the system.

Other than that, everything is fine.

Thank you all for your advice and opinion on my security setup.

As for system backup, I went ahead and added Macrium Reflect.
