Does it make sense to install Eset protect entry on IPFire?

1

Hello, I have purchased the above security package, how to install it on the ipfire, does it make sense to do so?

Hi,

no. IPFire does not need such a security product, and besides, it is strongly recommended against running 3rd party code on an IPFire machine. On a general note, the security benefit of such software tends to be questionable, as many of these have repeatedly found to contain security vulnerabilities themself, ultimately causing more harm than good.

Please consider this and this blog article for improving security of your network with IPFire instead.

Sorry to disappoint, and best regards,
