I vaguely remember asking this question before. What do you mean by a 
"standalone" computer?

I have 24x7 access to internet of course. Would that mean I'm not using 
a standalone computer?

And since you posted this thread, I looked into closing the unneeded 
ports, and was not successful cause giving the command involved would 
not recognize the information about the port that I was giving it.

Then I looked whether I could find if repeated attempts have been made 
to log into my computer, and were somehow led to installing fail2ban. 
But I don't understand well enough what it exactly does and how I'm 
supposed to use it. Yet.
