I had to explain to one of them why RDP is a bad idea lol. Thats kind of my point - average people tend to only know enough to be dangerous, not to do things safely. Or as Shakespeare said - "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

Yeah. This is why you don't encourage normies to port forward....they make everyone a domain admin and open up RDP...

Yeah I had to convince them to try RustDesk so they would stop using RDP. Like I said, a lot of people just know enough to be dangerous.
