With a default "admin" password, no firmware patches, and no-one monitoring its worthless logs.Proton VPN is available on all your devices, including PCs, Macs, smartphones, and even routers.
Having more and more layers allows you to have a far higher chance that not every layer is vulnerable during the same time window.įor instance, a normal household's layers will include: Every layer can be vulnerable to attacks and, frankly, every layer WILL be vulnerable to attacks at some points in time, from your browser add-on to your CPU itself.
Are you personally using a hardware firewall of your own on every "private" network? If so, yes, I would generally say your hardware firewall would render Windows Firewall superfluous, if it's between your hardware and ALL other hardware.
This can be valid, but is something to consider carefully - zero day exploits can hit ANYONE - KRACK, Heartbleed, Meltdown/Spectre, etc. etc., then that is you trusting their network over your own.
If you rate them secure because they have signficant network security infrastructure, including above consumer grade firewalls, IDS/IPS appliances, inline antimalware/antivirus, etc.
Popup advertisements with zero day exploits can hit any computer running any browser from any site, even sites you trust, since trusting them is NOT the same as trusting their advertising.
If any of that is "because the other people/machines on the network don't do anything too risky", then mark their network as "insecure".
Why do you think of their current level as "secure" for those that qualify?.
Since a Windows "private network" is whatever you tell Windows is a "private" network, what networks are you telling Windows are private?.
If you are talking about if it is safe to have NO software firewall on private networks, then you need to think about it. If you are replacing Windows Firewall with any superior product, then of course it is safe to turn off Windows Firewall after the other product is functioning. What private network, and what do you consider "safe"? Is it safe to turn off Windows Firewall on a private network?
