The wink is absolutel no issue. I simply want to know what exactly you were meaning with "added security".

No, I don't use any antivirus or antimalware applications on my device. What I use is a) hardware encryption, b) pin on boot, c) fingerprint sensor & pin and d) a lot of common sense.

JuiceSSH is a proper SSH client and it is clean. No need for anything that monitors it.


I don't use any AV or antimalware because they're usually all useless on Android for the most and drain battery like hell fire. By useless I mean useless... because it feels like almost every month there is another super spyware/malware/virus app detected on Android devices that is installed across million devices and no AV detects them. Even Google is clueless until some security researcher finds out when it is already way too late.

Thanks very much @Hidden.  I now understand that looking after security with a mobile phone requires a different approach than desktop.  I like the way you are going about it.  The hardware encryption definitely.  I don't precisely understand it yet, but I'll Google and once I understand better ask questions if needed.  Pin on boot makes great sense.  Not sure about fingerprint, but I may try that.  First I've got to get over the fear of mobiles being unsafe.  I'm sure I'll get there eventually by just jumping right into it.

I think I used an app called Termius something to control my server from my Android phone. Its top on ssh list on play store.
