i use rethink dns for android and it works really well. the buid in firewall is very nice for some samsung app that keeps re-instaling themself
@wdotme Жыл бұрын
I use NextDNS. It seems complicated at first, but when you get used to it and the pattern of your settings has been obtained and determined, it becomes easy. It's like giving back your rights as network manager to your own device. Even using the free mode is enough for 1-3 devices with internet usage that isn't too heavy, per month (in this case it becomes free forever). Heavy network users with quite a lot of devices or small to big enough companies are certainly not enough, but the cost is also reasonable and incalculably expensive. You can even combine it with other security and privacy settings to thicken it according to your needs, from partial to total blocks.

Hi Thomas, can you please recommend your router model? I'm looking to buy a new one and install open source firmware like you.
@TActually Жыл бұрын
@Scranny I use the wrt3200acm from Linksys, but I would NOT recommend it. It's older and some of the functions don't properly work with open source firmware. Instead, I suggest you pick a firmware, then see what the top compatibility options are for that firmware.

So does switching off Allow To Track on iPhone help?
@techlore Жыл бұрын
In theory yes, you can read more about what exactly it does and its limitations here: 9to5mac.com/2021/04/27/what-does-ask-app-not-to-track-mean/ Thanks for the catch, should've done a better job of showcasing this on iOS. I'd still recommend all the other suggestions in the video though, since the toggle alone won't prevent all forms of tracking. -H

I use a selfhosted DoH server and use a profile on iOS so everything goes thru it even if I’m outside. I also block known DoH/DoT domains & IPs and redirect all dns traffic to my dns server at home if a device tries to bypass it

@@siddheshgunjal1248 ok thanks. By the way GBoard sends summaries of your keystrokes to Google via a method called "federated learning". You can disable it in the GBoard settings, but maybe use a different keyboard altogether
@siddheshgunjal1248 Жыл бұрын
@@Scranny I already have disabled it. Best alternative I found to Gboard was Floris board (closest to Gboard feature wise). But the reason to stick to GBoard is use of combination of language, For example. If I want to type in Hindi or Marathi, I can type words pronunciation in English and it will automatically convert the word to native language. I'll happily switch to florid board if they include the work suggestion feature because Floris board has some features that even Gboard doesn't have. But word suggestion is something very crucial without which I cannot switch to florid board.

I must be fairly clean by default. Since I don't use a mobile and rely solely on my laptop I have a hardened Firefox and TOR for emergencies and the only APPS on my machine, at least that I use, are Teamviewer and Steam. I might decide to stop using Teamviewer because they recently changed so that they'll only let you use the account on a specific machine and I'm morally opposed to fingerprint "security". IMO you should be responsible for your own security and the service provider should pound sand.
