Hello,

I am an ordinary computer user, installed 6.8 without connecting to
the Internet yet, (a friend and a technical expert recently advised me
in a different context: do not expose your machine to the Internet-
don't know what that means)

OpenBSD intro says OpenBSD is secure by default. How is it secure by
default for an average user who does not get to ssh, does not use his
computer as a web-server or as a VM host, who does not have to share
screen etc? What ports are open by default and what applications start
by default?

Before connecting the computer to the Internet, what other steps
should a very ordinary user take? Block a few more ports? Which ones?

Thank you.
