I am interested in any tool, device and best practice suggestions regarding security of Internet and personal communication. Best bang for the buck for the layman.
I'm under no illusion of being able to completely step away from popular Operating Systems, Google, social media, etc. Nor am I looking to sandbox 'n darknet all the things. However I'd like to limit Terms Of Service-defined spying, e-mail mining, etc. Just because I can.
I've made changes to the services and tools I use for Internet and other communication. E-mail provider, browser, search engine, VPN availability, cloud storage/backup, device encryption, firewalls, phone service provider, etc.
Give me your boilerplate or your special sauce like Purism devices and Silent Circle applications.
Gracias.
