A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

On Android, DuckDuckGo provide an app called App Tracking Protection which blocks everything trying to track you/phone home via the apps you've got installed. Drawbacks are you that you can't run a VPN client at the same time.
Internally these types of apps are using DNS based blocking similar to this app https://f-droid.org/packages/dnsfilter.android/
I use this too
Install nextdns on your router and unlock origin on your browser.
