After watching this, you will discover that most of your attempts to hide your location, and, potentially, even your identity, may have been in vain.
- Get a VPN, but make SURE that you are never YOU when using it:
- Mullvad VPN is one of the best: https://mullvad.net/en/download/vpn
You can pay with XMR and the login is just a random number they generate for you.
- Ideally, don't use a smart phone. Use Linux: XUbuntu or Ubuntu is fine. Use a computer that is dedicated to a VPN or set up a virtual machine that runs Linux. The virtual machine is more convenient and you can even do so on Windows.
- For your Android phone, replace the stock Android OS with GraphenoOS. Don't worry, you'll still be able to use Google Play and all Google apps, if you want. If you already have a Pixel, back up your data because you're going to lose it.
You can get a Pixel 4 for about 100.
After installing, create a new user called VPN. This will isolate you from YOU. Set up the VPN there. Mullvad will disable mobile data use on that account, and, luckily, the VPN will ONLY affect that account and will always be enabled. Your main account will not use the VPN at all.

- On Linux, set up the proxy:

- From your browser, go to the check page to make sure that everything is set up safely:

If any are red (except the blacklisted one) you have a problem to fix.
- For super secure cases, use the Mullvad browser:

It's better than opening a private tab in Firefox.
- Mullvad also has their own search engine:
