SECURITY Tips for Protecting Yourself on the Web and Otherwise
-
Use a Private DNS Resolver - like Cloudflare
https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/-
You can edit this by going into your wifi settings - deleting the existing DNS and replacing it with 1.1.1.1 - let me know if you need help!

2. Get a VPN (Virtual Private Network) like NordVPN or Malwarebytes Privacy (https://www.malwarebytes.com/vpn) for all your devices
3. Turn off your location services when not necessary - or put your phone on airplane mode/ leave it at home if you are going to a march etc.
a. If you have an iPhone, you need to check under the “Siri & Search” settings under the Settings app, scroll down, and turn off “learn from app clips” for each individual app because that’s how your data is being tracked across your phone
4. Download Tor Browser - for a truly private browsing experience:

5. Get Incogni to delete all your public-facing data
6. Put two factor authentication on all of your accounts - I recommend getting a 2fa code generator and the only password manager I recommend is 1Password, which will store your passwords and generate One-Time Password codes (when you select the code generator option)
* If you use 1Password, make sure to save the Secret Kit they give you at the beginning!
7. Also not a bad idea to put a lock on your credit report / get identity monitoring with Experian or ProtectMyID
