About this tag
The ollama security tag on WindowsForum.com covers the practical risks of running Ollama, the local AI model runner, on Windows. The tagged discussion focuses on a key distinction: Ollama is a native Windows application with a background server and command-line access, but its local API does not require authentication, so making that API reachable by other machines turns a local tool into an exposed network service.
