I'm using a wifi printer/scanner, any tips on setting it up with the firewall?

ok avahi appeared but not the other two.

I have firewall enabled, but your procedure seems wrong and I can find cups or avahi or the other in the list.

Ah, well that tells me a lot of what I was wondering and thinking. I will tear down both systems in the coming days and do a major dusting just to make sure. Right now the tower is showing 42 degrees up to 45, with my AC running and it cool in here. I was running cooler before, but turning off those...

there is also googleuser listed in the readout. How do i tell if my ports are being scanned

Ran it and there were a number of comcast with the same ip with different ports (checking on my laptop). comcast is my provider.

No VPN, but I had user agent switcher installed already and it may have been running as chrome. I'll get back to you guys if that resolved it, I had thought that I had user agent switcher turned off, but it wasn't.

My ISP supplies a gateway that uses a different network scheme, and not that one, it starts with 10.x.x.x

Did all that but the Comp Sci thing. Nope, I gave up on college after having funding problems. I started taking classes a few years ago, but I'm 62 now and have poor health and no money, so school isn't possible. If it's way above my head, I guess I couldn't do it, but I could certainly true.

Also, there is a reason I am paranoid. One of my cards got hacked and there are two other possibilities, that the card was skimmed or that the provider was hacked. I think the card had been skimmed.

How much network activity should there be with the browsers and all windows closed? I imagine some since the OS checks for updates?

Ok, I found that the ISO I had downloaded was still on a storage drive, the one I'm pretty sure I used. I checked it, and it has integrity. So I guess it wasn't hacked.

How can I check the thumb drive now?

I admit that I did not.

6 of my banking sites and 4 other sites are telling me I need an up to date browser, but I have the latest version of firefox running. Is it because it is in Linux and they are all ceasing some sort of support for Linux?

I did a search for mime in the menu, nothing came up.

So I've made several posts about both my computers having a lot of problems with the new Version 20 OS with Cinnamon. On suggestion from a family member, I've started watching CPU temps. Both computers are running quite a bit hotter than they did with the previous version. There is definitely someth...

Nope, not there.

Ok, I looked in the file manager and I can choose what a specific extension opens with, but is there a page/window where I can go through all of the extensions?

In Cinnamon how do I choose what program, such as clementine, is opened with an extension such as .flac? I've totally gone dumb and I can't even search for an answer.
