Doing that manually would be ridiculous.

 Spending less time on cybersecurity will mean lower knowledge and increased risk of compromise.

And, in 40+ years, online, I've lost nothing.  I guess I must be doing
something wrong...

And it's fun to see where the brute force and other attacks come from.
 Knock sequences aren't very useful outbound. The last phishing site I visited (out of curiosity) didn't require one.

Why would a SERVER be making *unsolicited* outbound connections?

So the individual who suggests that changes should be made to restrict database connections to nothing other than known IP

or networks, rather than having them open to the entire world, is likely to be ignored. This is, of course, just one of the
myriad
reasons why breaches occur.
