Posted October 28, 2015 What was left of privacy went down with the WTC. The hard truth is if you have something that needs to stay private,it has to stay out of the digital realm. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2015 VPNs are one answer. Private Internet Access offers a very reliable service for a modest fee ($40 per year I think). Then it's not your IP out on everything. Encryption tools, like Gpg4win are helpful, but only if both parties are using encryption. TOR browser is another possible tool, though it's very slow on picture-heavy sites. And, for advanced users, Tails is a pretty nifty operating system. And, of course, throw away $5 dollar burner phones bought with cash are difficult to follow, even with a Stingray device. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
