I have a normal Googled Android phone and tinkered with a bunch of settings so that only what I can’t uninstall or disable remains on it.
If I run a vpn on it then the Googled OS may still know my location(from wifi and bluethooth scanning that it may be doing nonstop) and browser searches.
In that case, would the vpn only mask my activity from my internet service provider?
Thanks in advance
PS: This is a locked phone and I understand that it’s spyware but I can’t afford an unlocked one yet thanks
It can mask your ip from other sites, some have adblocking on them too.
I personally use PiVPN which gives me access to PiHole so I have adblocking on the go.
So like Google still gets stuff, but I figure in trying to get privacy, every little helps.
Just an FYI, pivpn is in a weird semi-maintained mode. You’re probably fine, and I loved using Pivpn, but wg-easy is more maintained.
Oh i didnt know that! Thank you! I’ll have a look
