usenet and airvpn port forwarding

[radecki111 0]

hi all

how secure is my airvpn conection to usenet?

i use port 443 or 563 of ssl conection in newsbin pro to connect to a premium provider. Airvpn running at all times.

Does my isp know what i am doing? do i need to set up a port forwarding?

any other measures?

Hello!

That's perfectly fine, your ISP can't even know that you're using an NNTP client.

On top of that, using an ssl connection (like you do) will also encrypt the packets from the Usenet to our server (i.e. not only from our server to you and vice versa), which protects your authentication details even outside the VPN.

You don't need to forward ports (in general, you need to forward ports only for services which need to be reached with connections from the Internet, and this is not the case for an NNTP client: it's the client that establishes a connection).

Kind regards
