In the last week:

I started using Syncthing. I was using cloud storage as a way of copying files from one device to another. Syncthing is so much better.

I signed up with Mullvad VPN yesterday.

Deleted my Surfshark account today which I signed up with over two years ago when I didn’t care about privacy.

Finally convinced my sister to start using Signal.

    I apologise for my ignorance, but what’s the concern with Surfshark?

    Would be great if some kind person could enlighten me on this, thanks!

      They do offer a lot for the money but I’m uncomfortable using their android app due to it having Google and Appsflyer trackers. Using OpenVPN via a manual connection is an option but this has limited usefullness and is a pain to set up on each device.
