We were recently made aware of multiple potential DNS leaks on Android. They stem from bugs in Android itself, and only affect certain apps.

      The other fellow provided some links, but this is a serious, in depth technical elaboration on the topic. https://gist.github.com/iosecure/357e724811fe04167332ef54e736670d

          You should treat Apple as a third party to your data. Apple is not your friend. No corporation is your friend. Apple is even worse than the average corporation.

              If you have sold your soul to Apple already, then that is not a problem. You may take this as offensive or factual, I do not care. Why? Because I use Android phones without a Google account. You may think, this person does not have a life, I do. But I also have a life. I use online groceries and use shopping sites through Firefox web browser. I have WhatsApp and Discord with lots of restrictions and a firewall with 400k+ domains blocked all the time.

              How much data you consider okay to give away to corpos is up to you. However, understand that once you give away this or that data about you, there is no way to return back to an option or time where nobody had that data about you.

              Yes, I am pretty anal about my privacy, security, anonymity and freedom. And I am shameless about it.

                  I have written guides for smartphone hardening and Linux/Windows computing, among other things. This is my defense.
