Re: Tips for privacy and security

Firewall:
- Turn off unused listening servers on your machine
- Configure your daemons to be restricted to your local network or - even better - your machine, don't expose ports (by having listening servers on them). More important: refuse to use network related software unable to be configured that way. The less packages you need to filter, the less mistakes you make.
- Don't expose SSH to the WWW. Instead you should tunnel everything through - say - VPN.

Hostfile:
- Don't just put every ad-server into your host file. The bigger this file is, the slower your system might response (in a worst case scenario). Restrict your host file interaction to the targets you have identified as malicious.

Facebook:
- Don't use it. EOL

Linux in general:
- Don't trust every maintainer of a small spinn off distro with it's own repos to place malicious code in an update, so you won't... Hey, wait... what?

I think the privacy search engines are supposed to be alternatives to Google though.

Hey what's going on with the OP... it's getting bigger and bigger without editing by me!
Some nice stuff is added, so that's cool, but who did it?    
And i would like to have a notification so i could check out these addons as well...

Sorry that would be me. Once I remembered I was mod, I figured it was easier to edit the post myself rather than making numerous posts with links
