11 Ways to Improve Your Privacy
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Slowly, users are moving to privacy-focused solutions instead of convenient options.
|
||||
|
||||
Why? Simply because many have realized the worth of their personal data.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, protecting your privacy does not mean staying anonymous. But, taking control of privacy means that you do not share essential information with unauthorized parties while keeping your sensitive data private from everyone.
|
||||
|
||||
You can improve privacy on all kinds of devices you use. Here, I shall provide some proven methods to enhance privacy easily.
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 The tips mentioned can be followed for every type of device and OS, not just Linux. You don't necessarily need to follow each and every point. These are mere suggestions. See, what works for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Secure & Hide Your Email
|
||||
|
||||
Your email address is connected to everything online, whether banking or a cloud storage platform.
|
||||
|
||||
If your email remains private, you get less spam and fewer attempts to take over your account or trick you into downloading a malicious file from your email.
|
||||
|
||||
I think you get what I mean 🙃
|
||||
|
||||
But… you share your email address with every essential app/service you use.
|
||||
|
||||
**So, how can you not share them but still use them?**
|
||||
|
||||
You can use **email aliases** to keep your actual email address private. We have a list of [tools to help protect your email address][1]. Choose any options like SimpleLogin or use the email alias addresses your email provider allows creating.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, try using [secure email services][2] like Tutanota or [ProtonMail][3] for the best experience.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Secure Your Internet
|
||||
|
||||
With an exposed or insecure internet connection, an attacker can snoop on your web activity and potentially use it to gain vital information or affect your device data.
|
||||
|
||||
So, it is essential to keep your internet secure.
|
||||
|
||||
To achieve that, you can do a few things like:
|
||||
|
||||
- Use a secure or encrypted DNS like [NextDNS][4] or [ControlD][5]
|
||||
- Use a VPN to encrypt your internet connection
|
||||
|
||||
[ProtonVPN][6] and Mullvad VPN would be two excellent options, offering open-source clients and Linux support.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Secure Your Search Activity
|
||||
|
||||
Everyone utilizes a search engine to find what they are looking for.
|
||||
|
||||
For most of them, it is Google. It is the most popular website on the planet as of now.
|
||||
|
||||
But, it collects some of your data to improve its searchability and may also personalize the search results per your likes and other factors.
|
||||
|
||||
However, if you want an entirely private search experience and non-personalized results, [privacy-friendly search engines][7] should be helpful.
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Use a Privacy-Focused Browser
|
||||
|
||||
Just like you use search engines, the browser is a vital means of the interaction process.
|
||||
|
||||
A browser with solid privacy and security features should help you enhance your browsing experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Personally, I could point you to **Vivaldi, Firefox, and Brave**. If you are keen to explore more options, look at our list of the [best browsers for Linux][8].
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Do Not Install a Program You Don't Know
|
||||
|
||||
Whether you use Linux or any other operating system, you should not install anything you are unaware of. Not all programs are privacy-friendly.
|
||||
|
||||
Some do not collect any data at all, and some do.
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, there are certain green flags that you can look for before picking a new software to install. Some of them include:
|
||||
|
||||
- It has a decent number of users (not entirely new).
|
||||
- It is incredibly popular.
|
||||
- It is open source and has a stable release.
|
||||
|
||||
Some other pointers that you can keep in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
- Even if the program is proprietary, you should check out its popularity and privacy policy.
|
||||
- Usually, best to avoid new software tools.
|
||||
- Do not download email attachments without separately verifying them.
|
||||
- Download software from its official channels. Do not use third-party distribution websites to download packages unless they officially recommend it.
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Utilize All Privacy Tweaks and Options
|
||||
|
||||
Every app, every operating system, and every service that you use provides some amount of privacy control.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, you can hide your Instagram account from the public and only accept followers you know/want.
|
||||
|
||||
Similarly, when possible, I recommend you head to “**Privacy settings**” on your mobile phone, Linux desktop, and everything else.
|
||||
|
||||
![Privacy settings on Ubuntu Linux][9]
|
||||
|
||||
It can be anything, deleting your old files, disabling diagnostics information sharing, and so on. If it sounds feasible to you, use the available option to your advantage.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. Use Secure Password Managers
|
||||
|
||||
Passwords and credentials are at the center of everything. If you need to ensure they are well-protected and organized, use a good password manager.
|
||||
|
||||
I usually suggest [Bitwarden][10] and KeePassXC for all kinds of users.
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer keeping things offline, [KeePassXC][11] is available cross-platform. And, if you want a cloud-based solution, Bitwarden should not disappoint.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also explore some [password managers for Linux users][12].
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. Keep Your Notes Secure
|
||||
|
||||
Taking notes can be a habit for some, and it can be a good/bad one.
|
||||
|
||||
Why do I say that? Well, notes often have sensitive information, sometimes passwords or PINs.
|
||||
|
||||
So, if you make sure that your notes are secure, it is one of the easiest ways to boost your privacy game.
|
||||
|
||||
Recommendations will include [Standard Notes][13] and [CryptPad][14]. You can explore other options with end-to-end encryption or a variety of features:
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. Store or Backup on a Private Cloud Platform
|
||||
|
||||
Not everyone has the time or patience to maintain/configure a RAID setup to store/backup data at home.
|
||||
|
||||
So, cloud storage services are the usual solution.
|
||||
|
||||
My personal recommendations include [Mega][15] (end-to-end encryption), and [pCloud][16]. But I suggest you check out our [list of cloud storage services][17] to explore better options.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, you can encrypt your files before uploading them to the cloud thanks to solutions like [Cryptomator][18].
|
||||
|
||||
### 10. Use Private Messengers
|
||||
|
||||
You can always utilize open-source and encrypted messengers like [Signal][19] (cross-platform) to secure your communications.
|
||||
|
||||
There are [multiple WhatsApp alternatives][20] that you can explore for personal use.
|
||||
|
||||
If it is for your business, [open source Slack alternatives][21] should help.
|
||||
|
||||
### 11. Specialized Distributions
|
||||
|
||||
If you are adventurous and want to try an entirely different operating system tailored to give you a private experience, you can pick [Tails OS][22], [Whonix][23], and similar options.
|
||||
|
||||
Some are built to erase your activity as soon as you finish it. And some of them feature special security features, which could be overwhelming for daily usage.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are curious, explore the [best privacy-focused Linux distributions][24].
|
||||
|
||||
🤨 **Still, confused about what you want to do?**
|
||||
|
||||
I have a separate article listing some of the best browsers, VPNs, messengers, etc., for privacy-focused users. You can always refer to that if you cannot decide what you want to pick to take control of your privacy.

改善隐私的11种方法
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
渐渐地，用户更注重隐私为重，而不是便利的解决方案。
|
||||
|
||||
为什么？ 仅仅因为越来越多的人意识到他们个人数据的价值。
|
||||
|
||||
当然，保护隐私并不意味着保持匿名。而是你不会和未经授权的第三方共享重要信息，同时，每个人都无法获取到你的个人私密敏感数据。
|
||||
|
||||
你可以在任意设备上改善隐私策略。以下是一些行之有效的增强隐私的方法。
|
||||
> 📋 以下方法不只限于linux系统，任何设备和操作系统同样适用。你不必完全遵循，这些只是建议，
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. 保护和隐藏您的电子邮件
|
||||
你的电子邮件对于所有在线平台都是公开的，无论是银行还是云存储端。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你的电子邮件保持私密，你将会收到更少的垃圾邮件和恶意链接。
|
||||
|
||||
我想你可以get到我 🙃
|
||||
But… you share your email address with every essential app/service you use.
|
||||
但是，你通常会和每一个你使用的重要应用/服务共享你的电子邮箱地址。
|
||||
|
||||
**那么，你能不能做到不共享邮箱也能使用这些应用呢？**
|
||||
|
||||
您可以使用**电子邮件别名**来保持实际电子邮件地址的私密性。 我们提供了[一系列工具来帮助你保护电子邮件地址][1]。选择任何选项，如 SimpleLogin，或使用您的电子邮件提供商允许创建的电子邮件别名地址。
|
||||
Also, try using [secure email services][2] like Tutanota or [ProtonMail][3] for the best experience.
|
||||
此外，尝试使用Tutanota或[ProtonMail][3]等[安全电子邮件服务][2]以获得最佳体验。
|
||||
|
||||
> 📋 本文包括会员链接，如果您购买 Proton VPN 等某些服务，这些链接会给我们一小笔佣金，而无需您支付额外费用。
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. 保护你的互联网
|
||||
|
||||
通过暴露或不安全的互联网连接，攻击者可以窥探您的网络活动，并可能使用它来获取重要信息或影响您的设备数据。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，确保您的互联网安全至关重要。
|
||||
|
||||
为此，您可以执行以下操作：
|
||||
|
||||
- 使用安全或加密的 DNS，如 [NextDNS][4] 或 [ControlD][5]
|
||||
- 使用 VPN 加密您的互联网连接
|
||||
|
||||
[ProtonVPN][6]和Mullvad VPN将是两个很好的选择，提供开源客户端和Linux支持。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. 保护你的搜索引擎活动
|
||||
|
||||
每个人都利用搜索引擎来查找他们正在寻找的内容。
|
||||
|
||||
大多数人会选择Google ,到目前为止，它是地球上最受欢迎的网站。
|
||||
|
||||
但是，它会收集您的一些数据以提高其可搜索性，并且还可能根据您的喜好和其他因素个性化搜索结果。
|
||||
|
||||
如果您想要完全私密的搜索体验和非个性化结果，[隐私友好的搜索引擎][7]应该会有所帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. 使用注重隐私的浏览器
|
||||
|
||||
就像您使用搜索引擎一样，浏览器是交互过程的重要手段。
|
||||
|
||||
就个人而言，我向你推荐Vivaldi，Firefox和Brave。如果您想了解更多，请查看我们的 Linux 最佳浏览器列表。
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. 不要安装未知程序
|
||||
无论您使用 Linux 还是任何其他操作系统，都不应安装未知内容。并非所有程序都有隐私保护。
|
||||
|
||||
有些根本不收集任何数据，但也有例外。
|
||||
|
||||
在选择要安装新的软件之前，你可以寻找绿色软件特征。其中包括：
|
||||
- 它有大量的用户(不仅仅是新用户)。
|
||||
- 它非常受欢迎。
|
||||
- 它是开源的，并且具有稳定的版本。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
还有一些值得你注意的点：
|
||||
- 即使该软件是专用的, 您也应该查看其受欢迎程度和隐私政策.
|
||||
- 通常，最好避免使用新的软件工具。
|
||||
- 请勿下载未验证的电子邮件附件。
|
||||
- 从其官方渠道下载软件。不要使用第三方分发网站下载软件包，除非官方推荐。
|
||||
|
||||
### 6.利用所有隐私调整选项
|
||||
|
||||
你使用的每个应用程序、每个操作系统和每项服务都提供一定程度的隐私控制。
|
||||
|
||||
例如，您可以向公众隐藏您的Instagram帐户，并且只对你想分享的人和关注者开放。
|
||||
|
||||
我建议您点开手机，Linux桌面和其他所有内容的“隐私设置”页面。
|
||||
|
||||
![Ubuntu Linux 上的隐私设置][9]
|
||||
|
||||
它可以是任何内容，删除旧文件，禁用诊断信息共享等。如果你觉得可行，请使用可用的选项来获得你的最佳体验。
|
||||
|
||||
### 7. 使用安全密码管理器
|
||||
|
||||
密码和凭据是一切网站的核心。如果您需要确保它们受到良好的保护和组织，请使用优秀的密码管理器。
|
||||
|
||||
我通常为所有类型的用户推荐[Bitwarden][10]和KeePassXC。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你更想要离线使用，[KeePassXC][11]可以跨平台使用。如果您想要基于云的解决方案，Bitwarden 不失为一个好选择。
|
||||
|
||||
您还可以探索一些[面向Linux用户的密码管理器][12]。
|
||||
|
||||
### 8. 确保便签安全
|
||||
|
||||
写便签对于很多人来说是一种习惯，它可能是好习惯也可能是坏习惯。
|
||||
|
||||
为什么这么说呢？嗯，便签通常有敏感信息，有时是密码或 PIN。
|
||||
|
||||
所以，保护隐私的最简便方法之一，是确保便签安全。
|
||||
|
||||
建议使用[Standard Notes][13] 和 [CryptPad][14].在这些工具里，你可以使用如端对端加密等大量功能。
|
||||
|
||||
### 9. 在私有云平台上存储或备份
|
||||
|
||||
不是每个人都有时间或耐心来维护/配置RAID设置以在家中存储/备份数据。
|
||||
|
||||
因此，云存储服务是通用解决方案。
|
||||
|
||||
我个人的建议包括[Mega][15]（端到端加密）和[pCloud][16].。你还可以查看我们的云存储服务列表以寻求更好的选择。
|
||||
|
||||
此外，借助 [Cryptomator][18] 等解决方案，您可以在将文件上传到云之前对其进行加密。
|
||||
|
||||
### 10.使用私人通讯软件
|
||||
|
||||
你可以使用开源加密软件如 [Signal][19]（跨平台）来保护你的通讯。
|
||||
|
||||
有[多种WhatsApp替代品][20]可供您探索供个人使用。
|
||||
|
||||
如果要商用，可以考虑[开源软件slack][21] 。
|
||||
### 11. 专用发行版
|
||||
|
||||
如果你对新鲜事物充满了兴趣，尝试量身定制的操作系统，比如 [Tails OS][22], [Whonix][23]等。
|
||||
|
||||
这些系统有的具有即时销毁性，有的具有特殊的安全功能，完全能满足你的日常使用。
|
||||
If you are curious, explore the [best privacy-focused Linux distributions][24].
|
||||
如果您好奇，请探索[注重隐私的Linux发行版][24].
|
||||
|
||||
🤨 **仍然不知道该如何做?**
