I was thinking of buying one of those open source routers and setting up GPG. What else can I do to escape the watchful eye of these authoritarian turds?
Use Qubes OS instead of Arch for more streamlined and easier security.
Here is a overview and demo of the capabilities. Also separates your workflow.

Replace duckduckgo with startpage (owner of duckduckgo sells your data, see /g/ wiki), and then don't select the US servers in the settings page. Not sure where the EU servers are located, so it's probably safest to use the Asian ones.

i had to switch from noscript to umatrix, too much fucking clicking and waiting for the page to refresh with noscript desu senpai

lol, fractions of a second of your life are saved, but in return you're violated constantly. What kind of trade-off is that you monstrous faggot?

Start a revolution or go back in time to stop the Patriot Act.
arch is shiet

>go back in time to stop the Patriot Act
Literally couldn't happen, it would have wormed its way in regardless, 9/11 just accelerated the process.
The only other way is to entirely remove yourself from the grid. Go full Kaczynski or you'll never be safe.
i wonder if using a VPN all the time makes you look like a pizza enthusiast by your ISP.
maybe set up another machine that's basically a bot that looks like a normie.
>>57623338
No. They don't care.
>>57623338
Not necessarily, plenty of people who work from home use VPNs to connect to corporate networks, which would mean the majority of their traffic is encrypted.
>>57623381
do they use PIA? I thought they typically use vpns provided by their employer.
>>57623406
probably VPN is from the company, so they can use the intranet
>>57623099
Where does it say they sell your data?
>>57623193
Go to sleep Terry.
>>57623609
it's part of their business model. they are silicon Valley people.
>>57623099
isn't searx.me the secure search engine of choice?
>>57623027
Excellent vid. Thanks, bra-ther.
>>57623381
Enterprise rent a car employee here. I work from home making reservations for customers. I use a program called USCC DESKTOP to connect to a corporate computer and use the intranet, and use a company provided vpn phone to receive calls on.
Can confirm, isp doesn't give a Damn.
burn off your fingerprints, only use stilts when walking to disguise physical footprints, only communicate with text to speech software at mcdonald's drive through
>>57623745
LMAOOOOO
>>57623193
it's a 'froguin'
or a 'penguog'
you can kill yourself
>>57623099
Replace startpage with Yacy
>>57623697
It is, true patrician choice is self-hosted searx
Switch from arch to trisquel
Get a computer compatible with libreboot or core boot.
Use startpage instead of ddg
Adding on to >>57624103
If you're this serious about it then go out and buy a phone compatible with replicant.
If that isn't possible for you then flash a CM or AOSP ROM without Google apps. Only use apps on f droid or other Foss apps.
Switch your email provider to something like protonmail.
Find a good VPN not based in the us and that doesn't keep logs.
