In this video I discuss some of the reason why Linux is better than Windows 11 (and windows 10) which includes better security, privacy, performance, and more granular control over customizing your...
Like I said, people doing self hosting, they often open up ports for those services and management ports.
Some routers have backdoors built in, such as the Fortinet NGFW backdoor, that can also be exploited.
I work in this industry and believe me the risk is real, no vpns aren’t a silver bullet, but there are a few good providers out there that can help mitigate some risks of using P2P for more than piracy.
Around 10 minutes for an unpatched XP box with no firewall.
Much longer for obscure vulnerabilities in routers or more difficult to exploit vulns in hosted software.
It is also possible for vulnerabilities in peertube itself to exist, which will be an issue regardless of VPN use.
VPN’s have zero impact on that
That depends on whether they are port blocking as I said.
Why wouldn’t you port block on your Firewall? For that matter, why do you have any ports exposed to begin with.
