How To Increase Your Internet Privacy Using Only Your Mind

How To Increase Your Internet Privacy Using Only Your Mind

Author: Jaron Swab November 10, 2021 Duration: 13:24

In this episode we talk about how to level up your privacy online using only your mind. Having the correct mindset will get you 80% of the way to internet privacy. Reaching 100% is extremely difficult and likely impossible. However, if you start with the right mindset you'll get much closer than if you only used tools like a bandage.

But don't worry, we'll cover the tools I'm currently using to boost that percentage as close to 100% as possible.
