Looks like I need to take another look into encryption.

Mulvad, they offer actual privacy, you can even pay them anonymously via cash if you want. Never had any problems with them.

I own my own domain and use a separate email address for everything, this avoids spam and allows for some security.

I use a pihole setup, this blocks ads and trackers to avoid all the crap online and allows for some security.

I try to keep my VPN into my home working (it is currently not working), when it is working my cell phone activity is encrypted as it goes into my home network.

My ISP router is practically a dumb box that hosts a firewall, I want to setup another computer that will act as the firewall so that the ISP router is just the dumb box. Money is a factor in this!

I will check out Mulvad and see what is about.

*edit: I also use Vivaldi as my web browser, which provides some additional security. Wish there was more I could do about but the people I communicate with are not as into security as I am.

No port forwarding, which is needed for ensuring your Linux ISO files are getting out there.

They used to be the perfect choice.

Yeah, but I get their reasoning.

Yes. A few bad apples spoil the bunch.
