You can do this. But you need to use rethinkdns and download the configuration of the proton vpn wireguard server(s) you wanna reach. You can have internet blocked for individual apps, have some tunnel without VPN but DNS and firewall protection and some go through servers of proton (even per app to different servers). It’s a powerful tool. You won’t get the same protection as you would get with let’s say GrapheneOS but you are getting damn close to it if done right

The first thing to consider is what you want to archive. Security and privacy are not the same thing, however go hand in hand. With rooting you can go deeply into your systems setup, however it also opens potential threats against you. Adb is more secure. When it comes to privacy consider also rethinkdns or any other firewall. You can block internet access to specific apps and even system apps.

If you want it the safest use the official Monero wallet. Or what I use and trust cakewallet. It can also do bitcoin in case you use that too…

So Hairy Plotter goes from Vegan to Fish sales man

I never understood why you need to trade or park your decentralized currency on a centralized exchange!

To be fair… everyone who can or could do that will!

I honestly don’t know about much ads. I use a pretty good dns setup what already blocks most. On top AdGuard pro take cares most of the ads I would see. I use also vinegar for YouTube so I don’t see ads there haha.

On android you have with rethinkdns a pretty great firewall with a name what sounds more like a dns service. Anyway, I use apple for business, just because it works with my associates and have GrapheneOS as my daily drive.

I think it starts with the ads… privacy etc. people believe that shit a s apple is good on it. That said iMessage is another things used a lot around central and North America and also in Asia. I think Europe not so much. That is why iPhone is popular. Just a thought. Not sure I am right. I use an iPhone and a pixel with GrapheneOS. Enjoy both and need both one for business and one for day to day private life

I have no Facebook or Instagram etc and never had. And I have friends and meet people. I think people who are interested in you have no problem with your stand even changing the username all the time is a bit strange haha

Hahah yeah we should!

Shit sorry man, I lost mine the same way and it was sooooo painful ;) haha

Don’t care about him so I didn’t even bother… but congrats to him! As elons dead bird side lost way more haha

You don’t need shelter. Create a multiple user account one just for that app… on GrapheneOS. It is totally isolated from the rest. You can use a vpn just in that user profile too

Used proton from almost day one, and moved a few months ago to skiff. I like what they offer and how they improve and implement

Hmm I hope this is true but signal promised this 3 years ago and it never happened

People getting crazier by the day… someone just told me I am supporting piracy by blocking ads! Like what?

Reminds me on simplex they have a source code published tho
