  • I think Tor with Tor Bridges (to obscure that you use Tor) is your best bet. Or using Tor over a VPN (using a VPN systemwide and then connect to Tor)

    Everything else is just standard opsec, not leaking personal information and so on

    Also, don’t use a E-Mail address or phone number tied to your real information, like your name or IP address. Because that is how many people got caught in the past.







  • Your technical and legal understanding seems limited. I personally work in the IT space and am a hobbyist in legal matters, in particular data protection.

    I’m pretty sure there was nothing they could’ve legally done to protect the payment information.

    It’s not a “bad look” for Proton; instead, it’s just people being confronted with reality.

    If you commit a crime, law enforcement will be after you, and if your operational security sucks, there will be no service that can counter that.

    Is very inaccurate and misleading. It is a shame that EFF is still promoting it; I would recommend looking up the videos from Techlore and PrivacyGuides about fingerprinting; they explain it very well without any misleading or highly inaccurate information. You can find them on YouTube and PeerTube.

    Regarding cleaning up your stuff, in what jurisdiction do you live in? Under the EU you can make use of your rights as seen in the GDPR. Noyb.eu is a good resource for learning how to excersise your rights as an EU citizen.

    Tails is by design not made to be used with a VPN service of any kind, if you want to hide your Tor usage, use the built-in Bridges instead.

    If you need further advice, feel free to contact me, I would love to point you into the right direction rather than leaving you in the dark.
