**This is just a basic Opsec guide on what tools to use, nothing to in depth and I suggest you do your own research.**

**Search Engines**

Stop using Google and I suggest moving to search engines like Duckduckgo, Qwant or Startpage.

**Browser**

Use Firefox and install HTTPS Everywhere, if you want a browser similar to Chrome I suggest using Brave as it’s a good alternative.

**Email**

The best option for this would be Protonmail, there are other providers however ProtonMail works fine.

**Password Manager**

Stop using the same passwords for every site and use a Password Manager like Bitwarden, it’s free and generates and keeps track of all your passwords.

**VPN**

You should always been using a VPN so websites cannot get your actual IP Address, go with a VPN provider like Mullvad as they are focused on Privacy, ExpressVPN is also good however a little bit more expensive.

**Messaging**

I suggest using Telegram as most people have it, you do have other options such as Signal and Keybase.

**SMS/Phone number**

Do not use those free SMS verify websites as anyone can easily recover the account, you can just get a prepaid sim and a burner phone or use a website like xootf

**Domain registration**

Use Njal.la when you want to register a domain as they do not ask for any info etc.

**Crypto Currency**

Get Crypto from exchangers on nulled or other forums as they don’t ask for any info however there is usually a 10% fee, I personally use @Gappy.

Using BTC does not make you anonymous if you truly want to be anonymous when using Crypto I suggest looking into Monero/XMR.

**Happy learning!**
