"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." - Snowden

Afaik the "Librem 5" or a Google Pixel running GrapheneOS is your best pick

>Use a VPN or Anonymization networks
which vpn's are suited best for privacy?

it isn't retard, if you put OP practices to use, then those benefits automatically come to you

Im not really good with tech, how to get started?

Are there any screen captures or graphics for graphene os

So, I've heard that Nord VPN is to be avoided because it's run by glow in the darks?

they cut your speed after the 30 day refund period ends. They stopped using paypal for that reason since Paypal was always siding with the buyer.

NordVPN was created by a data mining firm, just like DuckDuckGo (Yahoo) and Protonmail (CERN). They're all survelliance programs.

Is there a way to check if a VPN is providing its own DNS resolver in OpenVPN in Ubuntu?

I did some testing on my home network with Wireshark and saw that DNS requests made by a PC which was using a VPN were plainly visible.

Is this what's called a "DNS leak"? If so, how do I go about preventing it?

Run this on your devices which you are unsure about, and you should change your router firmware to something like openwrt, from there you can make sure everything goes thru the vpn on the network.

which vpn are you using?

If you use Jow Forums you are already doing it wrong

ProtonVPN

Fuck

Just don't use the internet. Anything you did online is tracked one way or another.
Get rid of any electronic made in the past few decades.
There is your privacy.

what email service would you recommend?

I use Criptext. That said, there's a pretty extensive review of other email services here:
digdeeper.neocities.org/ghost/email.html

>dont:
>>Use WiFi on your router (because of wardrivers)
then what the fuck should i use? mobile data plan from isp?

Use Power9 ISA
Ethernet

While what you said it true, you could atleast minimize that tracking making it harder to just look you up on the spot

>wardrivers
>2019
If you have an open (or "protected" by WEP) network, it's your problem an not that of "wardrivers" who existed 15 years ago.

Is WPA2 still good enough, or should I upgrade my router to one with WPA3?

>/paranoia/ - paranoiay general

>t. zoomers who embraced windows 10

user, this thread is satire

in case you accidentally leak the SSID of your wifi, and someone has been wardriving in your neighbourhood, then literally ANYONE can look up something close to your actual address on wigle

how so

please elaborate

>"i already have all of those requirements in place fool, i burn my pc with thermite every time my floor detects foot steps with audio, this doesnt happen to my footsteps because i've whitelisted my own frequencies, the frequencies differentiate from weight, so if a glowie steps into my house while im not at home, they shall perish like a jew"

Person 1 has a SSID broadcast enabled on his router with a unique name
Person 2 is a wardriver and wardrives thru Person 1's neighbourhood
Person 1 accidentally uploads a picture containing their WiFi's name to the internet
Person 3 is a curious guy, so he looks up Person 1's SSID on WiGLE
Person 3 is lucky and finds something very close to Person 1's actual address

So I can't do a dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda?

bump

so just set your ssid to something generic should be fine then

What is an example of a "generic" SSID?

"Silence of the LANs" seems to be quite overused.

You can do this, but you there will always be some sectors that will remain unremoved.

Oh, and forgot to mention, physical destruction is also a good idea when it comes to drives in general. Unlike HDDs, SSDs don't have platers (the actual "disk" if you could call it, where the data is stored). So go grab yourself some gloves, thermite, and a hammer, now get to work

>Pay with cash or cryptocurrencies (monero preferably)
Isn't crypto tied to your identity?

>Use a VPN or Anonymization networks
Most of them are owned by a handful of companies.

>shut the fuck up
How else will we help the larger society?

>only 4 ethernet ports
I didnt know IBM makes machines for amateurs

>>Pay with cash or cryptocurrencies (monero preferably)
>Isn't crypto tied to your identity?
Depends on how you acquired it, say, you paid for a gift card with cash, then exchanged it to a crypto currency like monero, which hides the sender and reciever, then you would technically have a pretty private and anonymous wallet there.
>>Use a VPN or Anonymization networks
>Most of them are owned by a handful of companies.
"Most" VPNs aren't good, i could only name a selected few which are good
>>shut the fuck up
>How else will we help the larger society?
You missunderstood what was meant there, in case of a raid, you need to stay silent

>dont use wifi because of wardrivers
Use a whitelist or hide the ssid

Does it even matter man? Every VPN hosted in virtually any country with a decent latency must comply to a government data request. Even if they "don't" or promise full E2EE the eyes will see. You can't exactly run your own either because that defeats the point. For me, its TOR. Use it and also be a node.

>shut up
>you now have freedom of speech
genius

> i could only name a selected few which are good
You can't because they don't exist. You're just deluding yourself into a false sense of security.

Don't they provide some sense of security, eg. not being "visible" when torrenting, visiting regular webpages etc.? Sure, you can't hide from intelligence services that easily, but that's not the point of a VPN?

Unironically kill yourself you 60-IQ boomer nigger

Actually i can, what i meant was there isn't a perfect VPN, but there are some that are better than others. Take Mullvad as an example, it's based in Sweden, which laws state that you aren't required to keep logs, you don't need any form for personal infomation to use it, they generate tokens. They also use a reasonable way of payments, which includes cash, credit cards, and crypto currencies
>but-but i heard muh based wireguard won't work without logs!
use OpenVPN if this is one of your concerns.

Privacy against the government is a fucking meme and is overrated. Thank God that the NSA is only interested in bagging Peter Files and Coco Cainers and the like.

Privacy against advertisers, however, is not a meme.

Source?

>everyone has different threat models
What this means in human language is that you shouldn't actually do all the shit in the OP unless you have something to hide.

You use criptext for all of the none important stuff right? I can't imagine any normal person would ever take you seriously with a schizo handle like that lol

>Privacy against the government is a fucking meme and is overrated.

You can use custom domains and aliases on Tutanota for a small price, only thing i dont like about tuta is that they force create a recovery key upon registration.

What about those buttcoin ATMs popping up everywhere now?

i think most of them have camera hidden inside, but otherwise i they're a reliable way of acquring crypto
