I get that there won’t be any security updates. So any problem found can be exploited. But how high is the chance for problems for an average user if you say, only browse some safe websites? If you have a pc you don’t really care much about, without any personal information? It feels like the danger is more theoretical than what will actually happen.
Or… are there any examples of people (not corpos) getting wrecked in the past by an eol OS?
At least UPnP can be turned off easily (if it’s not off by default already). ALGs are more… problematic.
The worst part is that ALGs will bypass the firewall rules by default, making NAT (or at least the stupid hacks to keep NAT working) a security risk.
