  • As we say in my home town, “Wankers!”. I need to have this WhatsApp BS as its the only way to stay connected with older relatives and work groups. I’m using RethinkDNS on my phone and have blocked as many Meta DNS and network links as I can find online. Exactly none of them show up on my firewall logs! The connections in/ out appear to be via “safe” routes, which if blocked then break wider functionality. To use yet another completely unheard of home town phrases, “Bastards”.


  • For Android:

    1. Use ADB (or similar tools) to remove Facebook, Meta, Twatter, Instagram, etc., from all your Android devices.
    2. Use a tool like RethinkDNS or other firewall to block block block. If using RethinkDNS, apply good blockers too.
    3. If using a firewall that uses your VPN slot, setup wireguard to use your VPN host
    4. Have different browsers on your device e.g. Brave, IronFox, Cromite. Follow online guides to set up.
    5. Use DuckDuckGo, SearXNG or Mullvadleta to search
    6. Never access Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc. from your mobile device. In fact, if you have the right firewall / blocking set up, you simply cannot.
    7. Do as much online shopping from a laptop / PC with a secure browser. Also, have about 3 different browsers there too.
    8. If you MUST use Facebook etc., only do it from a browser on your laptop / PC.

    Just my personal strategy. My firewall logs show its quite effective but not fully impervious.

    Some define violence as a strongly worded email. Handling personal disputes with physical or verbal agression is a no no. Peaceful protest are a yes. Be like Ghandi, MLK, Rosa Parks and others. Don’t be the same as the so called MAGA and proud boys in the US, or the UKIP / Farage twats in the UK. Just my personal view.
