I use the IObit Product Line, including ASC Security, Driver Booster, Smart Defrag, and the IObit Malware Fighter...which has its own anti-malware engine, PLUS the BitDefender anti-malware engine, AND an

wow, you use 50% of your cpu time for security? ;-)

Would not it be better to run the BBS on a computer on which nothing else run

I also run my ham radio traffic nets on the same desktop computer.
Besides, it runs faster than the laptop I have. I also have Peer Block
running, which has cut down on a lot of the bots from certain countries. Another SBBS Sysop recommended it to me.

Plus, it's best to "practice safe hex"...no matter what computer you
have your stuff on.

Hi Daryl,

I also run my ham radio traffic nets on the same desktop computer.

The ham radio is very intersting topic and I will have spend some time with it.

Peer Block is also a interesting thing to use in daily sysop work. Its running at my box now. THX for the good hint. I try to downlaod the chinese blocklist and compare it with ip.can and make an update. I think, its better to use a multistage security concept.
Here at my home the first router works with a firewall connected to the ISP cable; after this comes the watchguard firewall and the WLAN access point with another firewall behind that and other protection mechanisms like MAC filter...

Snychro runs at time on a i7-4770 (windows 10 64 Bit) which I use for daily work. But I'm new to synchro. My plan is, to use a PIII (or an older Athlon DEL Server with Linux) which runs on on Windows server 2003 or switch to Linux Debian and run a linux Synchro. But I'm a liiiiittle bit worry about that, because I don't know, if its possible to import my current configuration from windows-based synchro to a linux based snycho.

If you want, I can get the list of "banned countries" that I have, and
post them. Nearly all of the hack attempts came from these countries, so
I felt it was justified to have Peer Block in place.

Plus, the security features with Synchronet 3.17 are a great help as
well.

Hi Daryl,

I took the IP list from here: http://www.wizcrafts.net/chinese-iptables-blocklist.html

This list has the most "bad" countries already included and is actually updated weekly.This list (the changes) I add to the ip.can

Cool...I may use that instead of Peer Block...but I'll compare the
data first.

Yes, you can. See http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:misc#migration for details.
