considering the recent problems in USA, where being a foreigner is enough to have problems with the officials, the question is
Are you trying to avoid the surveillance of your communucations or do you need to hide your whereabouts also?
i see that you already made a public post here. AFAIK this is the most active privacy community on Lemmy.
If you're worried about the feds, you'll want to turn on airplane mode and leave ot that way.
or just leave the phone at home
My Pixel 8A GrapheneOS Phone has an KYC Sim card in it (Always) is it still beneficial to leave my phone at home as much as possible?
Cell towers always track you so yeah
BTW, for me,.there is no escape but using my kyc sim card, unfortunately.
For feds don't carry a phone, anything with a cell modem can be tracked easily.
You're connected to a cell tower/to a router.
Your ISP can see your address before connecting to the VPN.
Instead of a VPN just route everything true tor. And block anything that tries to get around it.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
