I use NORD VPN and it already has safe encrypted DNS and many other things all built in.
I use firefox, with the I DONT CARE ABOUT COOKIES and the essential uBlock Origin with my carefully configured feature and other annoyances personal list that I built up over years enabled in that too.
I have everything I dont want blocked in my hosts file, as well as in the built in firewall on Win 10 LTSC converted by the MAS crack to IoT with support till 2032.
Email?
NOT webmail. You have office, and you have Outlook. I use this with my own mail server. So
anything@wheelchairdriver.com which I administrate works for me!
So for e.g. if you cant remember your email address, or someone else cant, then
I_am_fucked_if_I_know@wheelchairdriver.com comes to me...
This way I control all spam filters, security, storage, encryption, max file size, and all the rest. And nobody can ever take it off me, change it, or whatever. And I dont have to worry about some other idiots data breaches.
And I have about 30 sites I use for free stuff... Inc movies, software etc. All ISPs block most of these by law due to copyright laws. So a VPN opens up the interweb and stops officials like the UKs internet harm bill etc from interfering or knowing anything. And it stops all the tracking companues like apple, google, microsoft, and 100s of others from tracking you. My google data file is completely empty. Most peoles is phone book thick for e.g. Download yours for a laugh.
Tor browser is too slow and tor exit nodes often blocked. For e.g on forums.
I can watch australian or american TV for e.g. You cant do that with a tor browser. Usually. Too slow and normally detected.
