Nitrousoxide@beehaw.orgtoPrivacy Guides@lemmy.one•Brave aims to curb practice of websites that port scan visitorsEnglish

1 year agoI cannot fathom what a respectable website would need with a port scan. They should normally just be listening to/broadcasting on 80/443. Is it looking to see if the normal html ports are remapped? That’s the only reason I could imagine.
The requirement of managing an LDAP or AD directory service just to get some auth for NFS is a dealbreaker for like 99% of people. It’s such a dumb protocol for the average user and was designed with only huge corporate clients in mind.
Just give people a simple password auth or let them exchange private/public keys between the devices that need to connect!
