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?

        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.
