i tried tails but google still tracks me and its not for me since the police arent coming after me and the amensia and only being on usb is a bit annoying. i just thought there would be a lot more privacy

i tried qubes with whonix because it seemed interesting but still no privacy even on safest settings in tor (google still knows its me)

      1. ​If the cops or the state really want you, it’s over for you. A VPN will not stop them
      2. Correct. Tor with VPN is risky
      3. ​Any VPN that is open source and has a strict no log policy will be fine. (Proton is a great choice for beginners)
      4. ​You should also worry about browser fingerprinting

        ive tried tor which claims to minimize the fingrprint but im not seeing any improvments. ive also tried proton but havent seen any improvements either (ive checked if the ip changes it does)

          You might have a DNS leak. Go to dnsleaktest(.) com to check

          ​If you do, head over to NextDNS.io and set it up. Once that is done, run the test again to make sure it is fixed
