You can always check that the device is secure by trying to use telnet or FTP when you haven't enabled them. You should get a message along the lines of "connection refused" or a timeout.

My fault. Poor idiom. I mean going out and connecting to a public wifi at coffee shop or in a public library needed in a pinch to use the web browser.

In which case a reboot before connecting would do the job. OTOH, using a web browser on an eInk device qualifies as cruel punishment.

On a Kobo it does, anyway. Boox devices have a tolerable browsing experience, but they have much faster CPUs and extra refresh modes specifically designed to enhance performance (at the cost of PQ).

On the only Boox I've got to play with (Boox Tab Colour???), the web browser was a pain. Possibly since the pages the owner of the Boox was browsing used quite a few animated graphics and then they tried to show me show it looked with a YouTube video. Even using the Fast setting for the screen, it was not great. Much like the web browsers on my eInk device collection, I felt it was for emergency use only.
OTOH, the owner loves it and since their main reading is comics, the Kaleido 3 screen looks pretty good with them. |

Yes, the performance on video is still terrible (~12 FPS), but the fast refresh settings are good enough that you can read and scroll through web articles more or less normally. I've never tried the browser on my Libra 2, as I suspect that with a single-core CPU and no control over refresh speed, even navigating a simple website would require a lot of sitting and waiting.
