I need some help with basic security tips, how to install a FireWall for MyBB and stuff like that.

I might like a complete newb, and I'm gonna have to be honest and admit that I am a complete newb.

If you are willing to help me, post here or send me a pm.
Thanks Thumbsup

You don't really need extra security bro..just a secure password. Those tips will help though

Protect your admin directory by setting an extra password to access the panel.
Take admin access away from your account, give it to a secret account without an admin badge.

That's a nice idea.
Thanks for that suggestion.
