Hello guys. I recently acquired a Pixel 8A and it was Google stock os I bought it from a man locally all with cash I brought It home and I flashed grapheneos onto this phone.

What else needs to be done to anonymous this phone and make it a privacy phone and a spy free phone no tracking phone no interception phone and no monitored phone.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks.

I used adguard.dns before now I have VPN that have DNS filter. Disabling 2-3g minimize attack surface but just a small thing use 3 g if you need it. You can use both private DNA in settings and a free VPN if you want.

If I use adguard dns in my phone settings, what is best free VPN to use with it? Other than proton / Riseup?

[–] LoveSausage@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Proton riseup and calyx comes to mind.

I had to put dns.adguard.com and my preferred network is 3g with Allow 2g disable is this good always? And Riseup vpn
