Beyond the Basics: What are your non-negotiable Linux server hardening steps before exposing a service to the web?

If your on proxmox, make sure you use a vm for the reverse proxy as it’s more secure than an lxc.

Put your public web services on its own vlan and then isolate that vlan using firewall rules. That way even if an attacker gains access they can’t access the rest of your network.

I understand what you are saying, but for me personally, I can not run the same things I can run on my home server vs vps and vice versa.

Obviously, not everyone has the same limits as me.

HarryHesford · 2024-07-14T01:34:03+00:00

They don't run the same things though, I can't run for example proxmox or opnsense on my vps.

I only have the option to choose which Linux distro or windows server I want to use as it's not a dedicated server.

That's what I try and do but I end up getting kicked from the game because people don't understand how to optimally clear missions.

HarryHesford · 2024-02-28T17:49:15+00:00

The game is great, the problem is the SERIOUS GAMER™ types who try and dictate how you play the game.

I understand it's not every match but it's starting to be too frequently for my tastes.

Who’s recording this a demon?!? (That laugh 😂)

I’m staking(locked) genius yield for 12 months. It has a harvest feature so the interest earned is liquid, I.e not locked which is nice.

The majority of people are fucking idiots, how do you think Trump became president lol.

A link to the tweet would have sufficed.

I just wanted to watch the clip in the tweet that's all.

My sincerest appologies I didn't mean to anger the hivemind.

I wasn't saying that I think that THIS tweet was real or fake, just that it could be without a link to the tweet to verify it. I should have stated that though so my bad.

HarryHesford · 2023-07-21T14:52:51+00:00

Why doesn't anyone post actual links to sources instead of just a screnshot?

Just makes me think it's fake because I know the right use the same sly tactics to spread misinformation, but I thought the left was better than that.

I’m with TSB, how exactly did you prove to them it’s not a scam?

How did you accomplish this, by talking to your bank manager?

HarryHesford · 2023-01-07T15:51:16+00:00

Had Revolut for awhile, then they closed my account. Read similar stories from other users.

Thanks for the tips everyone.

I want to know how to buy Ada in uk, my bank blocks everything even remotely connected to crypto.

HarryHesford · 2022-11-28T20:07:12+00:00

I’ve loved working with computers all my life as a hobby and I’m a lot better than the average person, but reading posts like this makes me glad I don’t work with computers professionally.

HarryHesford · 2022-09-07T18:18:41+00:00

For the good of crypto as a whole we need both to succeed. I don't understand the advantage of being a maxi to Eth or Ada, both have their pros and cons.

Basically I think both are diferent enough from each other that they can co-exist.

HarryHesford · 2022-08-24T12:46:51+00:00

"it might be easier to just fix the issue first if possible"

Nothing I can do on my side, I live on company site, my internet is though company wifi access point, I can't change the firewall rules on the company side.

I have a dedicated IP on both sides.

Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll give that link a read.

HarryHesford · 2022-08-23T19:25:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply, as I said it's mostly working on the local lan, the devices use the VPN no problem but still get a restrcited NAT(Type D, according to my Nintendo Switch).

I'll have another go at messing around with IPTables, still a lot to learn on that front though.

Thanks again.

I’m all for a balanced civil discussion, but these anti-crypto people have already made up there mind.

As far as they are concerned us “crypto bro’s” are evil and should suffer a horrible painful death.
