Guest Network, Security

[Otto_57 0]

Hello all.

 

How dangerous could following set-up be for my machine(s)?

 

- My neighbor connects to the internet via wi-fi guest network (admin not allowed) at my Asus RT-AC56U (no WPS, very strong WPA2 passwords). She runs a MacBook 1,1 from 2006, OSX 10.6, which can't be updated anymore, outdated browsers etc., and is a very unexperienced computer user.

 

- I'm running Qubes 3.2, quite secure (AirVPN in wi-fi router) set-up, I think/hope, at an Asus Zenbook UX303.

 

Thanks a lot for you ideas,

 

O.

Hello!

 

Actually there's a campaign for this very thing, which you might be interested in.

Thanks a lot!

 

»maybe see if she can get airvpn« (cm0s #2)

​It's running in my router, so she's also connected via AirVPN.

​

​The – possibly paranoid – question is, if an attacker could find a way through her outdated machine/browser via my router into my machine.

​But, okay, everything is »hackable«.

 

Nevertheless​, as a medium talented user I'm quite proud of successfully running Qubes OS.

 

Cheers, O.

Maybe you should get a Turris Omnia, to help protect your network
