that could still be a concern depending on what services you might be running and exposing. a known unpatched vuln on an old cpu could be the key on the exploit chain for a possible attacker.
regular joe kind of target and such so obviously talking about an unlikely scenario already.




i’m talking about services you might want to expose, which might have rce vulnerabilities. i edited my post for slight clarification but i think you replied before i had the chance, so i’m doing it here.
many people do end up hosting other services at home besides just the bare router when they get sufficient “tinker” hardware, which seem to be the case.
either way it’s indeed not something one should worry too much about in op’s case atm, if just to understand what one can expect from older hardware or the limits of what you can get away with.
