Hi, I am a CCNP-S

1. Hi, so feel free to ask any questions. First off for an email service i suggest tuta.io. I also recommend TAILS OS on a bootable thumb drive. CCNP-S is cisco certified network professional specializing in security,

Things you need to install for firefox/chrome

1. Ublock Addon
2. Signup for Tutanota Mail
3. Ghostery Addon
4. BLUR addon
5. Disable all flash for when browsing sites that sell "candy"
6. If you do not know how to create a bootable thumb drive I will assist you.
7. Use TAILS ALWAYS (Tails or The Amnesic Incognito Live System is a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution aimed at preserving privacy and anonymity. All its outgoing connections are forced to go through Tor, and direct connections are blocked.)
8. Install GPG for windows.
9. TailsOS thumbdrives are between 20-50 bucks on ebay.
10. I have roughly 100 thumb drives and will be more will than to send you a copy for 5 dollars, even free if you can't afford it. just pay shipping.

VPN's are great, but the thing is with them you have to buy them there are free services such as anonymox that do the job just fine for free.

What VPN/Tor other services do is change your IP, which contains your location. Most malware is actually installed via Ads, people rent out ad space keep a regular ad up for 6 days and on 7th change it to malware, so Ublock blocks all ads. BLUR creates emails for you so you dont disclose yours/ creates/stores strong passwords on your local machine (I use this to sign up for freebie things like chapstick,shaving razors etc)

Tutunota mail i just discovered when signing up for this site, it offers for both parties to set on agreed password so that only the two parties can read it, safe-mail, or proton works just as fine too

The HTTPS addon is basically http (secure) offers more protection but isnt bullet proof, anything you send over http can be intercepted.

Tails is an operating system such as Windows/Mac you  install it on a thumb drive once you unplug it everything is gone basically.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask

Privacy Badger ... Just installed it, anyone have experience with it?

Where might I find a good summary of security must-haves, from antivirus to whatever z might be.

Can I rely on my service provider's free norton?

Is a memory stick a/k/a a thumb drive?
