Here are five tips to stay anonymous on the internet:
1. Use Tails OS or a Privacy-Focused OS
Tails is a live operating system that runs from a USB stick and leaves no trace on your computer. It routes all traffic through Tor, enhancing anonymity.
2. Browse with Tor
The Tor Browser encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through multiple relays, making it difficult to track your real IP address. Avoid logging into personal accounts while using Tor.
3. Use a Secure VPN (but not with Tor)
A no-log VPN can help mask your IP, but using it with Tor can sometimes reduce anonymity. Choose a trustworthy VPN provider outside Five Eyes jurisdictions.
4. Avoid Personal Accounts & Metadata Leaks
Do not use Google, Facebook, or any account linked to your real identity. Turn off JavaScript when possible and use privacy-friendly search engines like DuckDuckGo or Startpage.
5. Use Encrypted Communication & Secure Email
Prefer end-to-end encrypted messaging apps like Signal or Session. Use ProtonMail or Tutanota instead of Gmail for private email communication.
