What is the matter with Surfshark, if you don't mind me asking?
I learned of way that I could implement mfa for my accounts. Having no money or a phone made this a bit tricky. Being thrifty and private requires a bit of learning. I finally ended up using KeepassXC. I still have to so how easily I can use my database with the Keepass portable version. I also spent a good chunk of time deleting old accounts I didn't need. Feels good
Currently I'm a paranoid , I use Faraday bag to my phone (Pixel 6 with GraheneOS) I never put a SIM card in it , I just use a modem with a LTE plan but It' s not in my name and I am switching to self hosted all my services.
I already use Trisquel; libre kernel; Abrowser; DivestOS; SearXNG; Nextcloud; Matrix; XMPP; Session; Odysee and Peertube; KeePassXC; Tutanota and Protonmail; ProtonVPN. Not sure How much further I can go without going with a Talos II.
I am using filen for cloud. It has E2EE and gives 20 GB if you use below link. I think it is a good deal. https://filen.io/r/d5a92a596e8518e27b0db303e73e8107
