I'm fairly certain Tor is better than a new laptop.

Stolen laptop + tails + stolen car + McDonald's wifi

I am not quite sure buying a new laptop is better than Tor, unless you have a way to buy the laptops anonymously with cash and not being seen by any cameras. Then you would still need to connect to a different network every time.

You can wear those anti-face-detection glasses every time you buy a laptop with cash.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You mean these sick Raving glasses? Hell yeah.

Fun tip for anyone in a country with blacklisted torrent sites- TOR browser plows right through it. You can open up TOR and go straight to thepiratebay.org.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Straight to it...after a 30 second delay. Tor is great. It's just far too slow for general browsing

Needs another layer for VPN chaining after driving 1 hour away to use public WiFi so they never know where you truly are.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

... only for you to google: "burger restaurant near "

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Surely you'd be able to triangulate the VPN connections based on the 1 hour drive.

Better to just become a nomad.

Tails is basically the bottom one anyways.

Damn straight

Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you run it bare metal (not in a dockercontainers for example) it's quite easy to set it up on a raspberry pi or other hardware. The wife would even know it's existence if you don't tell her and use a standard config in the blocklists ..give it a try ..you're gonna love it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ad links from emails won’t work anymore. And the “top results” in Google won’t work.

The wife would complain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yup, the ad results in Google had to be whitelisted to increase the SO-acceptance-factor. But once that's done it's really not much of a hassle at all, but whitelisting is easy if you just check the recently blocked domains.

You can set one up your network and just point your DNS request at it on a device-by-device basis. So your wife would only use it if she wanted to.

Pi-hole is pretty robust and not super hard to set up. You can run pi-hole on relatively cheap hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi 3B. I’m a big fan of Libre Computing’s “le-potato” board for running pi-hole; it’s a cheap raspberry pi clone. You’ll need some basic Linux skills but if you can follow step by step directions you’ll be fine. If you use a raspberry pi or similar hardware you’ll also need a micro SD card reader during the set up process.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They even have a Linux distro just for running stuff like that on the Pi, it's called Dietpi and it's pretty bulletproof.

VPN, block cookies, noscript, never sign into any user account.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Can you say more about never signing into a user account? I'm not sure I'm making the connection here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry I should have mentioned an "online account".

I have read many stories of people getting into trouble because they thought a VPN would protect their identity, and got caught because they signed into their online account which would be easily traceable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh I got you. That makes sense.

The most illegal thing I do online is make fun of my kids with an account they know so I'm probably good. Though I do hate all the privacy invasion and do reasonable efforts for me to prevent like uBlock and Firefox and so on.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

With the VPN it stops websites from knowing who you are. They don't have an email, name, or real IP to track.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Got it, thank you!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You say that from your signed in account

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

It's a self hosted DNS that you can easily run on a raspberry pi
