Pivpn is the package to get. Makes wire guard dead simple to setup. Just have to do a port forward on your router

What hardware do you have already? Is pihole running on a rpi? Look into setting up wire guard or tail scale. Then you can have pihole on your phone while your not at home.

Go old school and setup some basic website with apache2.

It’s not wrong. Not quite as much info as following the average person on socials, but it can be a lot of info at a glance.

Once had a cop show up one day, just asking about something going on in the area, and noticed an empty TV box by my trash can outside. Suggested I uh, don’t do that. Basically a big sign pointing to my house “brand new TV inside!”. Not done that since.

Then they get it through fdroid?

It did change. One of the many changes listed. It’s using a different web server, I forget now, but moved away from the previous one.

I mean, the fastest method is likely to just plug the phone into PC and pretend it’s a flash drive?

Can’t you also attempt exif data?

A sim or cell service has nothing to do with gps. Gps signals arrive from satellites in orbit around the earth…

Iirc any cell phone is still capable of dialing 911(or equivalent) even without a sim. So id imagine carrier towers and gps could still find it. You’d basically have to keep the device in a ferriday bag. Which complicates actually using it.

Was being sarcastic 🤣

Is your Nord VPN on? /S

Forgot this was sarcasm

DNS is handled by my rpi that’s running pi-hole and wireguard. It has static entries for quad nine and it’s secondaries. Router (generic rax10 Netgear, nothing fancy, and it’s not obnoxious like the nighthawks) DNS points to rpi.

So any device, set with dhcp, will use that. One day I’ll have a opnsense or similar box to go even further.

My pi-hole has almost 1.4mil+ domains blocked. It doesn’t work on most streaming services. At least in my configuration. It absolutely works everywhere else. And I do have a Roku device in one of the kids rooms. It’s one of the biggest offenders with blocked requests. Telemetry I’d assume, attempted at least.

True privacy is impossible at this point. Born into the system, molded by it…
