Welcome to ghost.moe. This guide is meant to help you take control of
|
|
your digital privacy and security. With more privacy and security, comes
|
|
less convenience. This is an unfortunate reality. We've broken things down
|
|
by topic, and each topic has three levels:
|
|
<ul class="level_guide">
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="convenient">More Convenient:</span>
|
|
These items will only require a download or checking a box in settings.
|
|
They shouldn't break anything, be annoying, or slow anything down.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="balanced">Balanced:</span>
|
|
These items can cause some minor things to break, be slightly annoying, or require
|
|
a change to how you use your devices.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="secure">More Secure/Private:</span>
|
|
These items will require either technical knowledge, be very annoying, require
|
|
serious planning, cause things to slow down, break things, or require a
|
|
large amount of effort.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
Start where you're comfortable.

<h2>

|
🕵️♂️ Threat Modeling
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The most important thing to consider when you are worried about privacy
|
|
and security is your threat model. Who are you trying to hide your data
|
|
from? If you only need to hide your data from your family, you may just
|
|
need to delete your browser history. If you are trying to hide your data from
|
|
governments and corporations, you will have to do quite a bit more work than
|
|
just deleting your browser history. Come up with your threat model, and think about the
|
|
tools that this adversary has at their disposal. Keep your threat model in mind
|
|
when going through this guide.

🧭 Web Browsing

Your web browser is typically one of the most used programs on your system. Taking
|
|
steps to lock down your web browser will greatly increase your privacy.

Switch to <a href="https://brave.com">Brave</a> or <a href="https://firefox.com">Firefox</a>

<p>

Brave is easier out of the box. Firefox can be configured to be more private than Brave.

Tor is the gold standard browser for privacy and anti-censorship. It will be very slow, however.
