Cyberfreedom guide

"So we arrived at the point where soon everyone will be forced to hand over their most personal data and be spied on 24/7.
It's been building up for a time but the killshot is coming and it will make everyone squirm as they start mass surveillance and elimination of wrongthink.

So these are things you can do to keep the remaining shreds of privacy in the digital prison they are closing on us now.

1.Ditch Windows, just do it, it's much easier than you think.
Get a copy of Linux Mint and start there. The world of Linux is huge and you can build your own closed system if you really like to control everything on your machine.
If you are a control freak you can build one from scratch using Arch Linux.
During installation, encrypt both your HDD/SSD and your Home folder.
You can get equivalent software for Linux for pretty much any task.
Hardware wise, go with AMD, Intel is evil inside ;)

2. Ditch Chrome, use Brave, or Firefox forks that are not "Mozilla". Use a "dirty browser" and a work one. Vivaldi is great for work, based on chromium.
Addons to use: Disconnect, Ublock Origin, Adblock, UserAgent Switcher.

3. VPNs, use one that has no log policy like Nord, Proton or if you are more savvy check out Lokinet.
You can set up a VPNs on your router if you have one like AsusWRT to protect the whole home network. Use a VPNs on your mobile too. Always on cellular networks.

4. Messaging - Signal is great but even better is Session, based on Lokinet technology, completely anonymous.

5. Email - Protonmail and Tutanota

6. Use Pihole to stop trackers and ads. It's your own DNS server you can customise with blocklists available free on the net.

7. Get a custom Android like Lineage OS or /E Phone. /E is super easy to install on older and newer phones. Use Aurora store and FDroid for apps, no goolag account needed. Some don't work because they are so in bed with goolag like Crypto.com but most free apps do, even banking apps. Paid apps unfortunately don't work.
If you are a hardcore techie you can try running Linux on your phone, there are options available.

8. Stay secure with strong passwords, 14 characters or more. Use a password manager, LastPass is great, there are others. Generate random passwords for sites, do not reuse them on critical accounts like your email!
Use 2FA ALWAYS if available.
You can share your passwords with your family in case something happens to you as well.

9. Data security - Veracrypt, great tool for encrypting external disks, USBs and so on.
For cloud use MegaUpload, 50GB free encrypted storage.

10. Make sure you have REDUNDANT backups of your most crucial data on encrypted storage.

11. Learn about crypto, it's the only way to have money without taxation or government interference now.
DEX exchanges are KYC free and private.
They can't "close your account" or "cancel" your crypto, that's why it's so good for what's to come.
BTC is KING remember, XRP is SCAM!
Privacy coins like Oxen(Loki) , Zec, Monero are great.
If you want to make BTC transactions private, use Wasabi Wallet.
If you want a good multiwallet that you only have the keys to Atomic Wallet is great.
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR SEEDS AND PRIVATE KEYS, REDUNDANTLY!

That's it for now, let me know if you want more ;)"
