As per title, how do y’all protect your privacy? … do not disclose your personal data tho haha

For example: besides a VPN i started using Matrix for messaging and Keybase for encrypted storage instead of telegram and google drive, and I self host most of the hosting I need including my own mail server and nextcloud appliance.

I am curious, show me how you hide!

    GrapheneOS for phone. Multiple user accounts to further isolate apps.

    Pi-hole as a recursive dns server with dnssec also using unbound for DoT for home network and IoT devices.

    AirVPN for my daily driver devices and windscribe for other devices that may need a vpn.

    Proton for E2EE mail and storage. SimpleLogin for alias emails.

    Try to use FOSS apps and block trackers where I can. Feeder (RSS), Squawker (Twitter frontend), and Eternity (Lemmy app) have replaced all the more popular social media apps.

    Bitwarden for password manager.

    For browsers I use Firefox with some settings tweaked or Mullvad (if I’m concerned about fingerprinting).

      Question: how do you deal with the fact that ProtonMail can theoretically track you? (At least from the last time i checked) For that reason i prefer countermail

      Another question: which phone model would you reccomend for grapheneOS?

        All email providers can track you, read your emails, do whatever else Google and Microsoft does. Email by design, is not secure or private and you should not be using email if you’re concerned that Proton potentially tracking you is harmful.

        Yeah as another said, any email provider can track you. If your threat model has that as a concern then you should always be logging into your email with a vpn on.

        As for GrapheneOS I think the Pixel 8 series is most recommended. MTE was a huge security boost. The staff also says do not get anything lower then a pixel 6 as they are to close to end of life.
