but seriously, drop the smart phone entirely.

For the ppl who didn’t read it properly: Its an unskippable ad feature, like we have in cable tv, but ONLY for TV audience. Don’t think it is going to be implemented on browser based sessions.

Both of them have their pros and cons. It’s a matter of sacrificing convenience or security. I2P is surely a go to for me over Tor/VPN when it comes to anonymity. You will come across variety of information which is not available on clearnet/tor, but clearnet has the upper hand in abundance.

I was in the same circumstances when I started. But then I asked around which helped me properly configure it.

working on my end

You can find plenty of versions on Demonoid https://www.dnoid.to/. I’ve used them on bare metal and on virtualization.

I just checked my DNS blocked list. Topaz software do download their models from their repositories, but I haven’t come across any issues. About safety, well, its upto your threat model.

Privacy focused frontend of YouTube

We got freetube too, you can always play on mpv

Then, Proton it is

Mullvad or Proton

Well ofcourse. WhatsApp works on a propriatary network where they store all your chats

KVM would be a safe way to test your pirated software. But it downgrades the performance.

XMPP? It works.

WhatsApp was build upon XMPP protocol. You can look into XMPP clients.

Besides that WhatsApp is not the way to communicate anyway. Normies use it because it is put up on their face and considered to be widely acceptable among them, while rhey don’t understand how privacy invading it is.

Technically NFT, a token is linked/owned by a wallet address. Which you cannot pirate/dublicate.

But in case of nft images, those tokens are linked to an image on ipfs through dapps, which you can download. But there is legal uncertainty about these images.

Denuvo games performed worse than the cracked version, FYI.

The only way to access clearnet through i2p is exitproxy.

The plugin “I2P Helper” states

Provides connectivity via the I2P network. Supports downloading via the anonymous I2P network. This includes DHT support for decentralised tracking.

The plugin allows to use I2P on biglyBT.

EDIT: Rather use Tor.

You can try out nextDNS. It has a list of blockers and you can track and block what request are being made by your phone.

Additionally, DNS-crypt proxy can be a good alternative too.

I started using it on a daily bases since I switched to Linux. The distro I use as daily driver and other large projects have their support team on IRC.

It is much much better than posting on forums. You get instant response.
