Is there anything I should know security-wise while using Usenet/NZBGet? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I wanted to give Usenet a try so I installed NZBGet and found a provider and indexer. That said I don't know if I should edit any security settings even if I don't have port forwarding enabled on my network. I've changed the default username and password and I'm connecting through a VPN but that's about it.

Real new to this so my concern is knowing enough to mess myself over.

Any other tips would be appreciated as well!

I was wondering why people pay for index sites until I tried looking myself for example.

As long as you don’t publish your nzbget server externally (outside your network) via say port forwarding, you’ll be fine.

Rely on your providers SSL enabled ports, default settings are good, but I would recommend changing the default password though if the nzbget installation.
