sorry :) A DreamMaschine is the Firewall from Ubiquity :)

well the thing is, that after reading more into all the option, people gave here, I tougth the same thing. I am basicly only hiding my traffic from my ISP and move the information to another entity 🤷‍♂️ For work this might not make that much sense. All I do there is listen to music and check my back-account so nothing my comoany doesnt already know :D

and at home (after planing my threat model) a VPN does not really make that much sense, since I already use stuff like PiHole and Unbound for my whole network.

but thx for your input, it really made things clearer.

i like to have temp-adresses but it is a little to annoying for me to extend them after 90 days 🙈 with proton this is easier since you dont need to remeber that and you can find this option pretty easy when in tge webbrowser of choice.

well I haven’t really thought of a threat model jet (but I will do so now :) ). But in general I want a VPN, for when I am on the wifi @work and also to route my traffic through from my DreamMachine.

hm I dont really agree on this. it is a swiss service (i think) but it is all closed source so that is a red-flag for me (if talking about privacy or transparency).

Hardened Firefox on my PC and Waterfox on my phone. Reason: mostly because I have been using Firefox for a long time and I want to stay away from Chromioum-based browsers (but not out of privacy concerns :) ).

wow, that look really promising. altough I read, that you are making only your clients open-source. wouldn’t it be better to have also the server-side open-source?

good points altough the number is note saved. the hash of the phonenumber is hashed so Signal could not hand out your number, just the hash.
