This article is about security for HFS users.

Many people ask Am I safe running this server software?. 100% safety on the net is utopia, but we want to be reasonably safe.

HFS is considered quite safe software, no security bug is known at the moment, just ensure you are using the last version available. Moreover, HFS is open source, thus anyone is able to check for security flaws in it.

But, before HFS, you should worry about your Windows system. To secure your computer follow these advices

  • keep Windows updated with Windows Update
  • use a good and updated firewall
  • use a good and updated antivirus

If you comply with these rules, the risk may be considered very low.
