Start with the basics. Use a VPN preferable a good one payed in crypto /XMR or cash. Use Foss apps only check out F-droid.
Also one that blocks malware and ads. If not use adguard.dns or other that filter traffic
Settings , disable 2-3 G if you always have access to 4-5 G .
Don't change add browsers use vanadium. No gapps obviously.
The more challenging is to just use it as WiFi phone without SIM.
I have a sim card in this phone. The sim card is one I heavily rely on. I have disabled the option for disable 2G in sims is this good? Even without the LTE mode as my phone doesn't seem to have this.
I don't have any crypto / XMR and in this case, shall I just set the DNS you recommended me without any VPN and just always use that? Thanks.
I used adguard.dns before now I have VPN that have DNS filter. Disabling 2-3g minimize attack surface but just a small thing use 3 g if you need it. You can use both private DNA in settings and a free VPN if you want.
If I use adguard dns in my phone settings, what is best free VPN to use with it? Other than proton / Riseup?
Proton riseup and calyx comes to mind.
I had to put dns.adguard.com and my preferred network is 3g with Allow 2g disable is this good always? And Riseup vpn
Are you recommending I change Preferred network type " to 3G? other options are 4G only 5G ( recommend ) 4G if I use that DNS with what VPN u recommend, and have allow 2g disable am I good?
It's only an attack surface minimation , security is better on new generations. I use all since I am in the middle of nowhere. If you don't need it disable it, otherwise let it be
Its preferred network type 3g and allow 2g disable and I use dns.adguard.com am I good now mate?
I have the DNS set to the one you said and the preferred network type set to 3g and the VPN calyx VPN, am I good now?
