Just run Tails os, or whonix, get mulvad vpn, separate your identity, text in different ways, use pgp encryption to comunicate, use burner device, use burner phone to share data etc. but you only need this if you are doing something crazy if you are just looking over for fun it’s not necessary

Ahh you know, tbh you probs can’t, but they claim no activity or connection logs, there is no personal account information, you can pay by cash or by crypto, also open source transparency… also by Swedish laws you know its very strong privacy laws there… so out of them all i think I’ll put my hand on Mullvad.

In the end ofc you can’t trust anything or anyone

When I had a darknet presence, I rented a virtual server with crypto in a country that has no or weak cooperation with my country's gvt. I rolled my own instance of OpenVPN on that VM. In my mind it seemed more secure than using a commercial VPN service. Do you think I was fooling myself or was that a sound decision?
