Decentralizr, in (Android) Sandboxed Apps with own VPN and Firewall? [solved]

You don’t need shelter. Create a multiple user account one just for that app… on GrapheneOS. It is totally isolated from the rest. You can use a vpn just in that user profile too

turkelton,

Nice, I just did that and that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks : )

Extrasvhx9he,

I’ll throw in using a privacy respecting browser to access those websites

    And your username has enlightened me that the fediverse lets us have spaces in our usernames (?)

    Boost doesn’t seem to support display names other than on the profile page. It does, however, tell me that your account was created 6th of june 1923 :p

    themeatbridge,

    I like the ambiguity.

    random65837, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

    Don’t complicate simple, there’s millions of people making random shit usernames, the only ones that are going to wind up with a pattern are the people (trying) not too. Smack a bunch of buttons on your keyboard and call it a username. Done!

    Or if you want to make more work, every password manager at this point will generate random usernames.

    OldManBOMBIN,

    Or for even more work, use a password manager to generate a super secure password, and use that password as your username

    I sometimes use MAC addresses as usernames.

    random65837, in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

    Aurora yes, although unlikely, GrapheneOS no, because you’re logging into the actual play store, not a 3rd party ripoff. Either way, whatever Google acct you’re using for that shouldn’t matter because it’s not a “real” one, so being banned shouldn’t be a concern regardless of how likely/unlikely it is.

    Good usernames are Google, Yahoo or Barrelroll, this is fun when someone searches for you by nickname

    nyandere, (edited ) in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

    I believe the answer is yes. There were reports on Reddit about 6 months ago of people being banned for logging into Aurora Store. The workaround is to simply not log in.

    SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT, in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?

    uBlock Origin explicitly advises against this. If it’s the only content blocker it doesn’t currently have issues with YouTube, if you have multiple you’ll probably hit the “disable your adblocker” warning.

    The first three are using identical techniques so combining them is of very limited benefit. They’re mostly there to cover software that doesn’t have an ad blocker.

    I’d stick with just ublock origin.

    digdilem, in Multiple Adblockers in a row - does it make sense or is it even harmful?

    One problem is… when you want to allow a blocked domain. It can be time consuming and confusing trying to track down which one of those things is actually stopping you.

    How to Geek basically wants to whitelist the internet in order to get to their bloody site. Which is a shame as I like their content.

    Vexz,

    True. I recommend a DNS based adblocker like Pi-hole and an extra adblocker like uBO in your browser. If you can't access a website you'll immediately know who is the culprit blocking the site you're trying to access.

    Why is it that GrapheneOS/CalyxOS always seem to attract these kinds of people?

    logifad501,

    When you claim to make a “”“privoocy”“” os and proceed to shill for google you inevitabily reveal the fact that you’re a honeypot.

    voracitude, in Am I running the risk of getting my Google account banned for logging into the Aurora Store or a custom rom like GrapheneOS?

    I’m running GrapheneOS and if Google locks me out of my device, which I bought from them, they’re going to buy me a new apartment :P

    Jokes aside, anyone running grapheneOS that gets their Google account banned should DM me. That’s solid grounds for a lawsuit.

    TheHobbyist, (edited )

    I’m not sure you’re attempting good faith communication, but in the case you are, I think most people’s opinion is that there could be room for Google but people are just concerned about Google being the only option instead of one of many. That’s also my interpretation for GrapheneOS’s stance, they don’t intend on breaking compatibility with Google services but instead run them on your own terms, putting the user in control of how Google operates on their phone. Hence, I don’t see any contradiction in your two statements.

    python, in What should be used for anonymous usernames?

    Try random real words until you hit one that’s free! Those are the most satisfying usernames anyway imo haha
