Does anyone know of a Windows alternative to NetGuard so I can completly disable internet access to things not being used?

I will be releasing v2.4 of my privacy guide (Android app) hopefully soon. I added so much more content to enjoy and plan to have more as always.

I rigged up OneDrive and got 5TB for free. After that, I connected it with CryptoMator and im set.

This link was very useful for me with using WebDAV on Cryptomator.

lollll this is a funny joke.

I found this interesting app called Jumbo Privacy. It only has like 100+ downloads so its pretty fresh.

This app scans your Google, Facebook, etc. for privacy concerns. Could be useful of course for older people or the ones that still use these terrible companies.

@exodus won't scan this app because the app requires Android 7.0+

I wish there was a privacy friendly alternative to Puffin. Cloud browsing has potential.

Im not even sure if there is another browser like Puffin.

I need this.

After some work, I managed to add a encrypt/decrypt text feature to the privacy guide app because why not.

It of course uses no internet connection.

I ran into another neat website.

The privacy guide is live and available for anyone to download. Expect updates frequently since the app is still fairly new and there are still an endless supply of things that can be added.

Download the app here: https://glitcher32.com/guide/

(Android ONLY)

If there is any link/app/extension/etc. that I might be forgetting to add to the privacy guide app don't be afraid to let me know.

Any bit of information/sources can be helpful.

I am also putting the cons about places as well. For example, PrivacyTools.io uses Matomo for analytics, Bromite doesn't support extensions, or Wire collects certain metadata.

All this hard work developing the privacy guide app is energy draining.

Shoutouts to the BETA testers, you know who you are.

Working on a privacy guide app that will be sure to mention as much as possible for not only for mobile, but for desktop and even IRL.

The guide begins with having a threat model, and will get more in depth as it goes on. The app has no internet access meaning no trackers, and you can of course be fully offline while using the app.

It would be useful if someone made a custom version of Windows 10 that had a main focus of privacy and security. Maybe there is one out there....

I ran into this company called Secfone (or navayo?). They have an app that provides end-to-end encryption calls and messages. The privacy policy seems fairly clean, no analytics.

The only issue I found so far is their website doesn't have a secure HTTPS connection.

Things don't seem very updated probably because its not very popular.

I am proud to announce that I will be BETA testing a alternative to Google Photos called Stingle Photos.

Stingle Photos is a secure, zero knowledge photo/video encryption and backup application. Formerly known as SafeCamera.

Regular users will get 1GB of storage free, and can upgrade of course.

(Can't upload picture preview since Mastodon is being an ass.)

This is the best app ive found in a while.

Ive been using https://invidio.us and https://invidious.snopyta.org as YouTube alternatives and honestly im very pleased. Unlike NewPipe, the subscription feeds actually show the newest videos you're subscribed to first just like YouTube does. I was able to import all my subscriptions.

They use googlevideo to provide the content (which is sketchy since that is a huge tracking issue), but there is a setting to enable proxy video, which I haven't fully tested for privacy.

Also a dark theme :D

The fact that the pages are fake directs lead on my suspicion more. I scanned the system app "VmosService" for viruses and here are the results. In conclusion, if you use VMOS, use the root to DELETE all Google and VMOS apps!

RedFinger app results:
CLEAN from Virustotal and NVISO

VmosService system app results:
