There is one more vital step here: model your threat.
If the threat are advertisers, companies in general, employer and your neighbor, then VPN plus all you just said is great.
If the threat are government agencies, like i. e. Iran, forget the VPN. Even the provider I'm using right now, NordVPN, was hacked recently. Assume all are and their use will just raise red flags. One-time use devices connected to public WiFi in a big city may provide some limited security.

Everyone needs to use TOR and not just for -bad things-. Flood the metadata with regular users, protect your privacy when possible. If I had an excess of money I would 100% be providing huge donations and support to this project. This is the big resistance in a relatively new field for human history. As the user, we are outgunned and up against governments with billions of dollars and this is the frontier, TOR. Thanks for the opsec video.

Hey, if you have a pc with nothing on it, you can usually create a FB account with a matching gmail. Just never log in to that pc directly to your home ip address or it can be assumed its you or someone in your house. Use the VPN. FB blocks Tor but there is -Facebook for Tor-. Not certain how secure that is, but its Zuck's attempt to allow folks in censored nations to post, since they have no other means of getting news out to the world.

Great video Rob! Preventing this sort of information when you are a public personality is much trickier. In fact, I've had VPN companies who are suppose to protect privacy, leak out my information since I wrote critical reviews on them. It's a total waste how many companies (even privacy based ones) are out for nothing but corporate GREED.

Sage advice. Cutting my footprint & marveling how I've gone from self managed solutions eg Thunderbird to convenient services like Google etc. Its insidious. Trying to nail a phone strategy with 4 browsers etc. And how do u balance the need to network and cutting likes of LinkedIn?

Hello,
By imagining that we have not followed all of our recommendations and that we wish to move, this means that we must put a VPN and abandon all the email addresses that we have used until now and then segment into a VM that does not memorize anything that is nominative?

OPSEC is really hard when you consider that you still have to call friends and family. Try to get even ONE of them to use an encrypted app. And then what method do you use to pay for your burn phone? And how hard is it to not screw up your multiple online ids?

LOL! Somebody actually made a comment that basically said you're wrong about the military using the term OPSEC without doing a basic internet search about it? You saved that person some embarrassment for that.

I have a question for Braxton.
Or whomever else would like to answer this one.
-If you want to evade facial recognition by your phone. Wouldn-t you just cover your camera? Rather than wearing sunglasses?
