How to Stop the NSA from Spying on You:
Steps to Complete Anonymity:
*Anonymous accounts
*Encryption protocols
*Falsification of IP address
*If you dont know how to use VPNs or don’t have money for one, you are out of luck.
*If you don’t know how to fake your IP address, you are also in a pickle.
The process below achieves complete privacy for free. The information you provide to applications, programs, operating systems, websites, companies & communities all jeopardize your anonymity. Some VPNs mask your user-agent (which exposes the device type, operating system & browser you use. Privoxy is one option for this. Proxy networks do not encrypt your data.
How do I falsify my IP address & encrypt my data? The best solution is Tor. You can falsify your IP address by using a browser that connects your computer to another computer before accessing any webpages. This masks the location of your originating query or connection to the internet. Visit http://www.TorProject.org & download the browser. Use Tor browser to navigate the web. You can take Tor with you on a USB drive. Your computer may have settings or applications that still connect to the internet without using Tor.
How do I stop Windows or any operating system from sharing my data? The fool proof way to avoid data from being exposed is to use Tails.
Tails is a full operating system designed for anonymity, specifically engineered with Tor optimization & compatibility. Windows, Mac, & Linux offer methods of turning off these settings, it’s known that it isn’t a solid nor accurate method of ensuring your data is locked down & private.
Some ISP’s will not allow Tor users to access sites.
To get around this, use obfsproxy which is built into the full Tor package. You will need bridges to avoid censorship & take advantage of obfsproxy. Bridges are Tor relays that help you circumvent censorship. This will send the data connection from your computer in an encrypted format that looks innocent. Access your own bridges on BridgeDB.
Can I use Tor on my mobile? Yes. Everything mobile is now being managed by The Guardian Project.
Developers have created a new application called Orfox. Orfox is a browser, but it isn’t the only necessary addition to your mobile device to keep you anonymous. The Apps you use can be compromised from the host end, you should only use trusted websites & apps with good reviews & high security protocols (https).
You may find more secure Apps than the current installs on your device. Anonymous mobile usage requires more than one App.
First, download the F-Droid Client. F-Droid is a free app store for open source, free, apps. Download and install Orbot, created by the developers of Tor or a similar proxy app. This will allow your apps on your phone to access the web privately by proxy.
Some apps try to access the web without using Orbot, exposing your data. To avoid this, you must install Orwall. Orwall is a firewall configuration app that forces your apps to use Orbot. This keeps any background Apps you may have from exposing your data. Download your new private mobile browser.
You can access the most recent browser release by installing the F-Droid App known as OrFox then subscribing to the developers F-Droid Alpha Channel by clicking on the following link on your phone:

Other Anonymity Apps to Consider.
★ PRIVATE CHAT MESSAGING: Use ChatSecure with Orbot to chat confidentially with anyone, anywhere for free. Get ChatSecure
★ PRIVACY ON TWITTER: It works with the official Twitter app. To Tweet anonymously, change proxy settings to:
Proxy Host: localhost
Proxy Port: 8118
★ PRIVATE WEB SEARCH with DuckDuckGo.
★ PRIVACY FOR APPS: Any installed app can use Tor if it has a proxy feature.
★ MANY MORE APPS BASED ON PRIVACY: @ The Guardian Project
Beware: All early solutions for mobile devices seem to have more bugs & problems ensuring privacy than the desktop privacy set. There are several reasons for this. The only surefire method of avoiding exposure on a mobile device or any device – is to unplug. Developers are working on solutions as bugs are reported.
Use a pen and paper sometimes…there’s nothing wrong with a filing cabinet…
