# Bluetooth

Although bluetooth is not the most secure wireless protocol it is definitly practical. It can be installed using:

```
# apk add bluez
# rc-update add bluetooth default
```

After that managing bluetooth connections can be done with `blueman-*` applications which have been installed through `home-manager`.

The bluetooth deamon can be configured in `/etc/bluetooth/main.conf`. For instance turning off `AutoEnable` which ensures that bluetooth doesn't get enabled on boot but only ones the user needs it, limiting its vulnerabilities.

```
[Policy]
AutoEnable=false
```
