I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but I got a family plan from Google for music and split it with 6 family members, which is probably the same as apple music I assume.

I don’t have to mess with download anymore.

Lidarr is only one I know.

Is that a pickup line? Lol

I have the older Sophos utm, which doesn’t use the Sophos cloud central manager.

I think their new firewall utm can work disconnected, but I don’t know.

Sophos has a home use license that’s free for non business use.

I love companies that do community edition or free home use.

Sophos, Veeam has nfr, Elastiflow has community edition, which is a netflow.

Sorry for confusion. I use Sophos utm as a WAF for exchange. Basically reverse proxy that is specifically programmed for exchange attacks. It allows OWA to keep working.

I put the exchange admin URL behind authentication, so you try to go to /ecp, it Sophos intercepts and make you authenticate to Sophos utm first, which is passing to ad with radius.

MS got rid of intune on prem. It’s only Azure service now. I think.

My router is my biggest vuln. Oddly the most important. It’s an enterprise ISR. It’s updated as far as possible. My paranoia ends with the US gov/NSA. I don’t care if they want back door oddly. I don’t want China using me for attack relay however.

Loads of monitoring. You do a span/mirror port to your IDS like security Onion. Let it analyze all your traffic. Apparently there are some state sponsored exploits that allow them to owe a router at kernel level and hide their activities from you and monitoring, but that’s a level I can’t deal with.

As far as lock out, you create a break glass on everything. Emergency account with non rememberable ridiculous password, saved in a safe place.

1. Exchange on prem 😳
2. Both mdm,.Ms intune, and just installing the root cert manually in trusted store. You don’t have to root Android for that. It presents some warnings, appropriate.
3. My Sophos is self contained. It does radius against active directory. It wants IPS and other updates though.

I guess the firmware is as good as possible. All network devices are just computers and can be exploited. I use a Cisco router as my actual gateway. Sophos is inline after that.

Privacy. 🤔

Not much. I have certain traffic go through a VPN to the Internet, but that’s split tunneled.

I use incognito? That doesn’t really do anything, ha.

I’m slowly killing web browser tracking and cookie stuff that group policy allows.

Your working environment sounds gross :)

IT is hard. Finding good IT people is harder in my opinion. Working for a company that is not super squared away with good security and great usability sucks. At least you found some work arounds and are trying to do it well.

Ha, probably. It’s fun to learn stuff though.

Working in this field, almost every company has been beached, IP stolen, etc.

Sometimes your home IP gets hit in an automated scan for a vulnerability and then auto exploited by automation. I’m hoping not to get random chance added to a botnet.

Also laughing because that’s how some companies get owned, IP stolen, etc.

There has to be balance, if your life using their system sucks so hard you can’t do your job or meet production marks, you get creative.

My industry has to prioritize security over productivity. It’s almost impossible to get work done.

Ha yeah.

Id say the same for trellix.

You should try doing things with installs or updating apps when the edr product blocks write access to all temp locations. You have to do an exclusion for every installer, signing cert, or turn it off to install programs.

I’m an enterprise guy, so that’s the explanation for non home use things.

• VPN for anything not my web or certificate revocation distribution point
• Sophos IPS
• sophos utm for web application firewall
• transparent inline web proxy, sophos is doing https inspection. I have internal CA and all clients trust it. I don’t inspect medical or banking, other common sense stuff.
• heavily vlan segmented with firewall between
• my windows clients are managed by active directory with heavy handed GPOs.
• least priv accounts, different accounts for workstation admin, server, domain, network devices
• security Onion IDS
• separate red forest that has admin accounts for my management access and accounts on devices
• trellix antivirus and global reputation based file monitoring
• I’ve started applying disa STIGs on servers
• site to site VPN with other family member household. They get managed trellix av also.
• my public identity accounts like MS,.Google, etc all need 2fa, token, etc.

I bet this can still get exploited, just would take effort hopefully none does for a home network.

I’m still one shitty windows zero day click away from getting my workstation or browser tokens owned though, I can feel it.

So, as I’m reading this threat to learn some etiquette myself, I infer the ‘user’s not wanting their “local” page to include duplicates’ to mean that when posting to multiple communities, it would be a best practice to only pick one relevant community per server instance?

Like in this case, it was crossed to both: ‘worldnews@lemmy.world’ and ‘world@lemmy.world’

In order to avoid duplicates, only one of those should have been included?

Like community1@server1 community2@server2, etc? If there’s two relevant communities, just pick the best one?

This corporate cycle isn’t likely to change anytime soon right?

Top tier corps, boards, Cs, ultimately care about share price and growth right?

Isn’t it tied to their pay incentives? To keep their contracts and incentives, they have to grow or reduce costs.

They make bad choices or bets among the way, no problem, just reduce costs and still meet the metrics. Only people who pay seem to be the workforce, right?

Or am I oversimplifying?

I think that’s synonymous with “all hail the shareholder”

One of the keys to selecting the solution from the provided answers is if you need this to be publicly trusted.

I use an internal openssl ca root, created intermediate ca for each active directory domain or Forest. Also, I wanted to create internal PKI smart cards with yubikeys and his c1150 cards. For you know, fun.

I didn’t care that other hosts don’t trust my stuff because all my hosts are configured with root ca, and I only use VPN for access.

You want external trust, must do some of the other suggestions. Setting up internal CA is a chore with understanding AIA, CDP points, line of sight to PKI urls for renovation checking, more…

I recommend look into managed, vlan capable switches after you get your firewall figured out. That will allow you to put hosts on different vlans and separate lab stuff from the rest of your home network stuff.

There’s a million videos.

Doesn’t tailscale retain closed source for the coordination server?

I think nebula mesh is totally open and you can run your own coordination server, lighthouse?

Nebula would need static IP, TS can do that part for $

You’re correct about vlan.

Think of vlan is a regular switch. Connect stuff, they communicate. Make two vlans in a switch, think of turning your physical switch into two separate switches.

Connect you switches to a router. Don’t want to waste two cables from your switch that’s cut in half? Do trunk port, with vlan tagged.

Lots of videos will explain better.

Best practice is to separate things of different trust levels into different vlans. You can filter and control the traffic between those vlans with your router.

As previously mentioned, in the Enterprise and business world, best practice is to separate and management from VMS and applications. We call this data plane and control plane. You would restrict access to your proxmox for other hypervisor interface from the VMS and applications. For small home setups and funsies, this gets a little complicated, but if it’s your career choice or interest, it’s a good thing to explore.

Key terms you can research: data plane, control plane, out of band management, air gapped.

The analogy of the fire department was a good one. Also a very good point about door locks.

I have similar thoughts about the electronic security alarm in my house when I hear the rare security vendor employee insider threat that broke into someone’s house by turning off the alarm. I still have one though. Like you said, I just chose to mostly trust them based on the hope they’ll internally police themselves out of their self interests to keep a good reputation and make money.

I do wish legislation could force vendors to be very transparent with their privileged access instead of the consumer or user just assuming it. Like a surgeon generals warning, “we made this, so we can unlock it. We are also forced by law to tell you when we’ve done it”. This of course is unrealistic from a national security or investigation standpoint.

Also good points about trust. We have to trust an enormous amount of institutions like banks, public service agencies, etc. Americans are having trust issues with law enforcement as a result of too many issues or abuse.

I wonder how many people care more about the secrets in their phone than their bank account?

I also don’t live in a country where I can reasonably expect the government to spy on me and take my freedom just for criticism, so I guess the stakes aren’t as high. The airdrop cracking in China comes to mind. Plenty of countries are being accused of using spyware against journalists and opponents.

Ha, yeah I wish a more concrete link could be made between the stance society has taken with smoking and apply it to visual/auditory pollution.

People are allowed to smoke as long as it’s not being forced upon other people (based on they both have equal rights). What about a right not to be bombarded with garbage every minute while you’re in public? I can’t see this going my way…

I setup our transparent proxy so we can do interception and IPS. I’m interested/concerned about the ability to use an intermediate ca cert downstream inline somewhere (like a teoco) and if regular consumer desktops would alert on that since their browser would trust the root. We GPO place our intermediate cert in the Windows trusted intermediates. I can’t remember if browsing breaks without doing that.

Not really a concern if there’s other certs/TLS required.in addition to the QWACs cert thought.

I got the impression the easier threat/worry was compromise of a nation CA and issuing illicit duplicate site certs, to then spoof a bank site. Still requires traffic redirection with DNS or routing though I think.
