I’m currently using “OpenVPN for Android”, and it mostly works, but the UI is very dated and hard to use (I can’t figure out how to delete a VPN profile), and crashes if it goes into split screen mode. Is there a better open source VPN client for Android that supports OpenVPN or Wireguard configuration files?
Good points, especially the fact that IP addresses aren’t the only tracking asset. Though I wonder if you only use third party libre clients, obfuscating your IP address can actually work.
Depends on who your adversaries are. First you need to do a threat model analysis. If you really want to have anonymity, you have to use TOR.
I have a super short opsec guide here, appreciate more input: https://wiki.tilde.fun/guide/opsec
Regarding anonymity and tor, this post: Tor 0day: Finding IP Addresses, was shared a while back and the points made about Gods Eye monitoring were pretty interesting to me in terms of an idea of having anonymity. The metaphor of a snake eating a rifle being akin to a user downloading a large file was particularly poignant.

Tor is useless.
Nice, elaborate!
