Some fag in Saigon was trying to get into my Windows PC using Windows Remote Desktop recently. Bitdefender would alert me every few hours that it blocked a "suspicious login attempt" from Vietnam. After several weeks of this I realized I'd left that port exposed. No idea why or when I forwarded that port

Depends on your router, but all of them have a "port forwarding" section in the setup menu. I must have enabled it on this machine for debugging purposes and then forgot to disable it.

For anyone saying "lol Bitdefender" this is why I use it. Microsoft antivirus might have blocked the connection attempts, but it wouldn't have notified me it was happening.

Depends what you are doing on your computer honestly. Without a VPN your ISP and the local network can see more connection metadata, websites see your residential IP address, and any unencrypted traffic is easier to intercept. One thing is that if you aren't doing any developing or anything like that your risk profile is low. NSAM seems to be using developer tools and managing servers and things like that so more of a risk.

lol. your goysumer network is constantly being scanned for weaknesses actively and by bots from around the world - hundreds if not thousands of times per hour. it is just a matter of time before networks/computers like yours are hacked. you may already be compromised and not even know it. the only saving grace for people like you is your carrier firewall layer and any hardware firewall built into your modem from your carrier. when those get compromised, you wont be notified or get an apology from the carrier, you will be sol and left to figure it out on your own.

Wow, so Pfsense requires a license that costs $129/yr. Fuck that. Guess I'm gonna have to go with Opnsense.

Also, the faggot ass Asus corporation might be the only company on earth that puts Realtek NICs in their firewalls. I just assumed it was Intel i226-V because that's what literally EVERYONE else uses. I might throw this in the trash or sell it on Facebook for 3x what I paid for it.

I thought so but it prompted me for a license at boot. I think they changed something recently got rid of the free version. Most recent image of the CE version is from 2023

you are doing something wrong. CE 2.8.1 sept 25 is most recent. netgate roadmap says next major CE version 2.9.0 is oct 26. netgate usually does major CE releases annually and a patch half way.

Had to ditch the Asus piece of shit because Realtek NICs are so bad. Instead I'm using this and it's very, very good:

The dumb chinks who sold it accidentally sent me one with 8gb DDR5 and a SSD, even though I ordered barebones. Either way it's beautiful. If I had known they sent one with RAM I would have used it from the start.

Also I decided to stick with OPNsense instead of pfsense just because it's easier to use and has all the features I need. Gorgeous piece of software. Claude helped me configure Adguard Home and Unbound
