Thank you for that reply.
Is proton available as a plugin on firefox?
Email can also be setup to use two-factor authentication. You need an app on your phone like FreeOTP use use two-factor auth. It's not difficult to do. It makes access to my email account only possible if you have my phone and know the 12 digit pin. I don't use finger print or face recognition - both have flaws.
All this security starts at the device level. You should use BitLocker on Window 10 Pro to encrypt your hard drive. iPhones have encrypted storage by default. Samsung Android phones have the option of using a Knox secure folder, which is encrypted. You can move all your personal stuff/apps into the secure folder.
A good setup would go from encrypted HD/storage, thru an encrypted VPN channel. If you use Tor, you go through three servers, the client endpoint server knows your VPN IP addr, a middle server knows the client end point and a destination end point. The destination end point knows the site you want to go to, but does not know your IP, or even your VPN IP addr. All communications channels are encrypted. Your ISP will have no idea what you are doing as the VPN and TOR servers tunnel right through their network. Additionally, you can choose VPN servers that reside in other countries, which has the benefit of further hiding your location. I usually use a server based out of Northern VA.
And yes, this is how I post on FR, do banking, order things online, do email (both business and personal). My web browsing is also completely ad free with the Brave browser. One last thing, I use DuckDuckGo for a search engine. They don't store any information. My life is nearly Google free even though I have an Android phone. I don't miss Google one bit.
