Here i will show and explain a quick and easy method for better on device cyber sec for android devices (this is a proxy)
Hello today i am going to show a quick and easy method to cyber secure your device when browsing online or using social media, i will tell you How to protect against phising and malware, hide your ip, stop your data being mined and secure your Device. This way is for people who don't know anything about opsec and cyber security. Anyways lets get on to this method for the people who dont know anything about cyber sec and use paid for vpn services, cloudflare and google dns.
THINGS YOU WILL NEED:
Android 10 or above device,
DuckDuckgo app
https://duckduckgo.com/app,
Orbot app https://github.com/guardianproject/orbot/releases/tag/17.3.2-RC-1-tor-0.4.8.12
Tuta mail app
https://f-droid.org/repo/de.tutao.tutanota_396463.apk
fake traveler app
https://f-droid.org/repo/cl.coders.faketraveler_200.apk
I suggest not to download these apps from google playstore as google does track you and it is best to stop as many leaks as possible.
Now lets move on to setting everything up perfectly to work and protect you,
Step1(dns&macchange):
Please go into network and internet settings and click onto private dns click Private DNS provider and input this url dns.quad9.net click save after click on internet and then your network name afterwards click network usage and treat as unmetered afterwards click privacy and use randomised MAC and turn off send device name now exit settings.
What this does:
qaud9 dns will protect you against malware and phising and do not store or collect any of your data to stop phising leaks unlike google and cloudflare do.
"Quad9 is a free service that replaces your default ISP or enterprise Domain Name Server (DNS) configuration. When your computer performs any Internet transaction that uses the DNS (and most transactions do), Quad9 blocks lookups of malicious host names from an up-to-the-minute list of threats. This blocking action protects your computer, mobile device, or IoT systems against a wide range of threats such as malware, phishing, spyware, and botnets, and it can improve performance in addition to guaranteeing privacy. The Quad9 DNS service is operated by the Swiss-based Quad9 Foundation, whose mission is to provide a safer and more robust Internet for everyone."
To check out the qaud9 project you can find them here https://www.quad9.net/
Setting your network as unmetered stops most types of network monitoring where as metered allows network monitoring to keep in line with your network costs.
Randomising your mac allows the number that can be used to locate your device in networks to be different every time you have an internet connection rather than your device info and company shown it will show a random one instead like sometimes your device could be a fridge.
Step2(DDG):
Please go into DDG if you haven't set it up yet please do so (also i suggest making this your main browser as they truly do protect and secure your browsing with 0 hidden trackers) after setting up DDG click the 3 dots then click app tracking then enable please go into vpn settings in network and internet then enable always on vpn.
What this does:
Any trackers aka data stealers hidden within applications you use will all be blocked, so anyone trying to phish for info and the applications company trackers that take your data and sell it to show you "3rd party ads"
Step3(orbot):
Please go into the orbot application allow notifications do not click connect it will mess with both the dns settings and DDG app tracking, click more then settings then follow these steps below,
Enable power user mode to stop it becoming a vpn connection.
Scroll down to connectivity tick all the isolate settings
After this please click back then click choose how to connect and click direct connection to tor then click connect
What this does:
It hides your ip address, cloaks your online traffic, hides your device and online fingerprint.
Step4(temp mail): To be in control of your own emails and keep them encrypted and private this is the best way that i found Tuta mail is the best mailing service you can use it keeps all data encrypted spoofing your location i also reccomend using .de as it is German. Tuta mail has 0 trackers, 0 ads and 0 data mining and 0 snooping, stopping anyone grabbing any type of info from the email header to further improve your email security hook up a tuta mail address to a duck address (temp emails) and use duck addresses across applications and websites you use to stop any phishers/doxxers getting your original email.
what this does: keeps your emails private and protected no matter where you use them online
Step 5(mock location): once you have downloaded the fake traveller apk please choose any location on the map and click apply, once this is done go into device settings then head into about phone scroll down to the bottom and click build number several times to unlock dev settings. Now head on into dev settings scroll down to mock location app and choose fake traveller. Also whilst you are in dev settings go ahead and switch on non persistent mac to work along side mac randomisation. Also turn on tethering hardware acceleration.
What this does: spoofs your phones geo location to somewhere completely different in the world so that apps that use your location will never truly know where you are.
Now your mobile device cyber sec is stronger and hardened also you should feel and see the increase in your internet speeds if you're stuck please take a look at my screenshots below screenshots are not in order.
{FINAL CHECKS} Make sure app tracking is Turned off for orbot
allow background Network connectivity and battery for both apps
use this with wifi more than network data
Thank you
