Is your home network actually secure — or are you just hoping it is?In this video, we cut through the noise and cover what actually matters when it comes to basic network security. No VPN shilling, no affiliate links, no bloated security suites — just real, actionable steps you can take today.
What we cover:
- How to scan your external gateway with GRC Shields Up
- Using TCPView (Windows) and netstat/lsof (Linux) to see exactly what's talking to the outside world
- The ports you need to know about: SSH (22), RDP (3389), VNC (5900), and more
- Why your ISP-provided router is probably your biggest vulnerability
- Router recommendations that are actually worth your money (and what to avoid)
- The truth about VPNs — when they help and when they're just hype
- Software firewalls for both Windows and Linux
- How to audit and block unknown devices on your network
The bottom line: Security is a journey, not a destination. Nobody is ever 100% safe — but knowing where to look puts you miles ahead of most people.
