Mullvad is from Sweden

I use Mullvad VPN and unfortunately they are based in a country that is part of the 14 eyes alliance. IVPN if I’m not mistaken is based in Gibraltar, which at certain times makes me consider migration

*GrapheneOS

this is the app

hope you enjoy, share with us later your opinion

You don’t need to change your ntp server exactly you can just set the time zone settings of your device (android)to match the same region of your VPN server. if you want to go a step further you have the option (not mandatorily) to change the NTP server of your device.

you can use Safe Space app, it uses your device keystore to encrypt your vault and the PDF file is opened inside it

Safe Place

I manually set the ntp server of my device to match with the location of my VPN server and use an pp to see the time of my real location.

WebRTC being used to de-cloak VPN users

The clock of my device always match with the location of the server of my VPN provider

Where do you live?

💯

Killswitches give a false sense of security because it is still possible to extract some form of audio through other sensors. Another problem is that the firmware of the Wi-Fi/4G modem does not receive periodic update to prevent attacks. Pinephone won’t be of any use, I’ve been in the same situation as you and preferred to opt for the Pixel with GrapheneOS.

Linux phones aren’t ready yet as a daily driver and have a poor security. I think a Pixel phone with GrapheneOS is a better choice.

Short answer: No

are u kidding ?

obviously the opt out button does nothing

a good approach, indeed lol

You can disable or uninstall Samsung bloatware apps using ADB. On Github u can find a list of apps that are safe to disable or even uninstall.

I’m even thinking about changing my password, but I’m not sure if dicewords have higher entropy and are more resistant to brute force attack than a password of “random” letters and numbers. What do you think about?

I mixed some shorter passwords that I’m used to use and added some random symbols

My Pixel 8 with GrapheneOS , password of 35 digits and USB completely off sends its regards

me too

My approach to use internet nowadays (joke)

You won’t find. Next

Wi-Fi AX aka Wi-Fi 6

Never has the art of occlumency been so necessary

the source code of their services is open?

I use Signal as my main daily messenger the two major problems in my opinion are:

1. Centralized server (AWS)
2. Requires a phone number to register

soon google will block ALL forms of front ends

I know

the new google massive surveillance apparatus is ready to be deployed

dont trust their allegations

This is one of its forks but yes.

There’s a fork of Arkenfox to use in Thunderbird mail too. Thunderbird Mail is nice but full of telemetry by default.

I don’t use WhatsApp since 2017 If someone wants to talk to me it must download Signal or no deal.

You can install apps without Google Play the problem is that Google services has a lot of privileges in the system and many useful apps relies on Google Play services to work.
