1. It’s simple. Use the Can’t Track This Faraday Bag, and make your-phone, and yourself, invisible. If you must use your phone or laptop, during a time that you DO NOT want Big Tech or Big Brother to track you, listen to and record you, or target you in any way, make sure to install AND LEARN TO USE the following privacy tools. They will keep you as off-grid and as private as possible, while online. TRUTH NUGGET: These tools sometimes limit functionality.

2. Install a good VPN. The Virtual Private Network that we use is Surf Shark VPN. Unlimited devices. A VPN tricks your IP address, so they don’t know where you are. Surf Shark has advanced features like No Borders (accessing blocked countries,) Clean Web (no Ad or Pixel tracking,) Multi-hop IP’s, Tunneling, and your info cannot be hacked, ever. Why? They don’t store it!

3. Use a TOR capable browser. When you browse, use a browser like Brave. Brave has a TOR feature. TOR is a private browser that uses The Onion Layer tech. It is VERY secure and private. Brave also uses Duck Duck Go as it’s default search engine. Your searches are not recorded. TOR is a pier-to-pier secure, private network. Read more about TOR here: https://www.torproject.org

4. Get a Private Messaging App, and make sure all your friends and family have it too. The best? According to Ed Snowden, and many other privacy gurus, use Signal or Wire. Signal is probably better.

5. Use a Private Encrypted Email Service. Proton or Mailfence are the two we like. We lean more towards Mailfence, as it has emerged as the most encrypted, following independent security audits.
