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.
