Is it OK if I buy ivpn with my real debit card my real name / PayPal?
Under private DNS in my phone settings ,
There is an off, automatic, private DNS provider hostname
What should I Set this to if I'm using ivpn?
Plus, my Pixel 8A GrapheneOS Phone has sandboxed Google play services, and I only have one profile on this phone (owner)
Is all this fine and okay?
You can also pay with cash for Mullvad, although I’m not sure if that’s less anonymous than crypto.
You import mullvad VPN to rethink yes?
Mullvad has content and tracking blocking at dns level builtin (enabled in settings). Having it always on you don't need to use private dns. If you use other profiles then set the private dns to one of mullvads. On my grapheneos install I use google play services only on another profiles then owner and have apps that require it only in those profiles.
Check out this video.
If you're concerned about the purchase being linked to your identity, no, use cash or anonymous methods like Monero or other currencies not linked to your identity.
Otherwise is this setup fine? And what do u recommend for the DNS thing?
What is easiest way to set rethinkdns up to control ur DNS queries by port 53?
Do u recommend changing any other settings on rethinkdns app or my Pixel 8A GraphenOS Phone for privacy?
Under my Carrier I have preferred network type 5g recommended ( one I use ) 4g 3g 4g only 5g or 4g only
Which one should I set this to for most privacy? Since I use regularly normal calls and SMS ( SS7 )
