EFF’s “resource site, Surveillance Self-Defense, is full of practical tips, tools, how-to’s, and explainers for communicating safely online. Here’s a list of useful guides with concrete steps you can take to get started:
- Evaluate and choose the tools you use to make sure they work for you.
- Learn about best practices for communicating with others and incorporate them into your routines and tools.
- Use a password manager to create strong passwords.
- Ensure that you have two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA) enabled for as many accounts as possible.
- Consider your needs and choose the VPN that’s right for you.
And lastly, remember—we’re all in this together. Take care of each other by safeguarding each others’ physical and digital health.”
