I'm sorry what do you mean?

I'm not trying to make it better. I'm trying to make the internet as a whole safer for everyone. This isn't just about reddit why can't you see that? Lol

I'll just delete this post but all I'm saying is they sent me a message for some reason and they said they wanted to confess so I went along with it to see how far it would go and I'm 100 percent on this one and it's really bad.

My point in this post isn't directed at reddit as much as it is about being on the internet as a whole and making it a safer place for everyone not just reddit.

I don't like reddit at all I just want to keep people safe is all

No you just don't get my point lol

Uhh no... I just uhh... Exposed him.. he sent me a message... So I uh.. went along with it. It's bad

True I've seen much worse as well though. And even if this is just trolling it's still incredibly disturbing and wrong that reddit doesn't take action towards stuff like this.

Who jokes about this kind of stuff?

Then you have to wait. And advertise your community on social media or something.. you started a community it's not going to open right away. It takes time for people to find it

Make your own sports community

You're welcome friend!

I know all this already. But I also use arch and have been for the last 6+ years and I use ufw lol

The main one everybody uses at least from my knowledge and from what I've used over the last 13 years is UFW. That is what you want to use.

A firewall is very important not just for being on public Wi-Fi connections. A firewall is your extra layer of protection

I don't know what Distro you run. But it's almost the same for each one

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-firewall-with-ufw-on-ubuntu-20-04

UFW is installed by default on Ubuntu. If it has been uninstalled for some reason, you can install it with sudo apt install ufw.

Using IPv6

sudo nano /etc/default/ufw

That command should come back with this

IPV6=yes

Save and close the file. Now, when UFW is enabled, it will be configured to write both IPv4 and IPv6 firewall rules. However, before enabling UFW, we will want to ensure that your firewall is configured to allow you to connect via SSH. Let’s start with setting the default policies.

Setting up default policies

sudo ufw default deny incoming sudo ufw default allow outgoing

These commands set the defaults to deny incoming and allow outgoing connections. These firewall defaults alone might suffice for a personal computer, but servers typically need to respond to incoming requests from outside users. We’ll look into that next.

To configure your server to allow incoming SSH connections, you can use this command:

sudo ufw allow ssh

This will create firewall rules that will allow all connections on port 22, which is the port that the SSH daemon listens on by default. UFW knows what port allow ssh means because it’s listed as a service in the /etc/services file.

However, we can actually write the equivalent rule by specifying the port instead of the service name. For example, this command works the same as the one above:

sudo ufw allow 22

If you configured your SSH daemon to use a different port, you will have to specify the appropriate port. For example, if your SSH server is listening on port 2222, you can use this command to allow connections on that port:

sudo ufw allow 2222

To enable UFW, use this command:

sudo ufw enable

That's awesome! Enjoy

There are way more viruses written for windows than there is for Linux

1. Linux users find viruses and they report them and then everyone works on a fix for it and it gets patched as soon as possible. This is why open sourced code is good.

2. Windows takes forever to fix or patch viruses most of the time they probably dont even care.

Everything virus related or even bug related gets patched almost immediately under Linux

Also... Everything you install on Linux is pre compiled and ore configured inside a package manager and these packages get checked constantly for bugs and viruses. Theres almost no need to install anything on Linux from websites that could be compromised

Out of the 13 years I have been using Linux I haven't Once caught a virus but I also study malware and write malware so I also understand it more on a deep level.

But honestly it's very hard to catch a virus on Linux

What don't you completely understand about Linux firewall? I don't mind helping you learn
