You need outgoing 80/443 to regularly update. Blocking other ports doesn’t help much, since, they could get out through 80/443.

If the incoming connection is limited to VPN, that’s as good as it gets. You have equal or less security when you login to your bank.

Good point about banks, however they also have teams of people monitoring for any potential issues!
