My Privacy Win?
Hello, I just recently discovered this forum because i prefer some reading and applying things on my own. I always prioritize privacy and security and second thing is convenience of course. I wanna share this achievement to release my excitement learning on the curve.
I am trying to attain a secure environment as possible without paying any money yet as personal challenge..(just a student)..Given the fact that FOSS applications are free and transparent, these guys deserves a lot of support and contributions to continue with the project. Hope i can help and donate soon!
I am Using KeepassDX and KeepasXC as password managers and synced using Syncthing everything and it works seamlessly. Everything is a pro but the local backup could be a “con” sometimes because when such all of my devices are stolen or something unexpected happened, then all of my files are gone too. To address the problem I uploaded the another copy of keepass on cloud and shared it to trusted friends to be kept PLUS, I also added a layer of protection using Cryptomator… So all of my problems for password management are addressed. Wherein I’m using all of features of KeepassXC (all features are free), my passwords are safe and updated (Cryptomator, Rclone, Syncthing). What about my keyfile? its safe and accessible.. no one knows where it is located, must be a government document, someones elephant video, a book, a photo, a music, who knows?, Someones pen drive, on random computer? its still available when something happened on my local devices. now all I need to worry is
- cryptomator password,
- keepass, and
- keyfile
- Ente 2FA
Also using an Arch based OS, It works fine so not planing to change, ditched windows because its forcing me to do things and security issues, I’m fine with Firefox with profile-maker and Brave for some reasons, Signal, most of the apps are from F-droid, frozen lot of unused apps running in background with Hail, Removed bloats with uad-ng-linux, Shelter for some apps abusing android permissions and app testings, Orbot, Wireguard configuration from Proton, RethinkDNS as firewall and blocker, FMD (Find my device), Fennec, Amarok for hiding files, App manager debloats, control app permissions and integrates Virus Total scans, Thunderbird mail client since some google accounts are still important, yet i needs filters and rules, for Email Aliases i used Simplelogin, addy, duck, adguardmail (temp mail and aliases) all has aliases has roles and purposes since each services has each advantages so I’m maximizing them. Cryptomator with folders in Pseudo names for cloud storage and with Rclone and custom actions on file managers everything is organized. Yes i have a lot of emails, **Proton, Tuta, Google & etc for due to several factors ** but when all things are organized, creating notes and Mind map seems that everything works and good for me. my data are minimized and secured. My extra old android is rooted, and using a custom Rom but i consider it more secure given that i have more administrative controls for tweaking. Once again thank you guys for educating us to learn and be secured for free ;). By the way, I am now always reading terms and conditions and policies HAHA.
Future plan
I wanna try hosting my cloudServer soon once my notes are done and enough budget.
Hope i can learn more with you guys
