Remember, always encrypt any communication, with care.
Enhancing Your Privacy: How to Use Mullvad VPN
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) adds an extra layer of security and anonymity to your internet connection, particularly when accessing privacy-sensitive services. Mullvad is a reputable VPN provider known for its strong privacy practices. Here's how to use it:
1. Purchasing a Mullvad Account:
- Visit the official Mullvad website: mullvad.net (Double-check this URL!)
- Generate an Account Number: Mullvad *does not* require an email address or any personally identifiable information to create an account. Generate a random account number on their website. This is your unique identifier.
- Choose a Payment Method: Mullvad accepts various
payment methods, including:
- Bitcoin (BTC) - for enhanced anonymity
- Monero (XMR) - the most private option
- Cash - sent via postal mail (least convenient but very private)
- Credit card, PayPal, etc. (least anonymous)
- Add Time to Your Account: Purchase the amount of service time you want to add to your account. All accounts have a flat rate of 5 EUR per month.
2. Downloading and Installing the Mullvad VPN Client:
- Visit the Mullvad Download Page: Go to mullvad.net/en/download/.
- Select Your Operating System: Choose the appropriate client for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux, or Android).
- Download and Install: Download the installer and follow the instructions to install the Mullvad client.
3. Connecting to Mullvad:
- Launch the Mullvad Client: Open the Mullvad VPN application on your computer or device.
- Enter Your Account Number: Enter the Mullvad account number you generated during the signup process.
- Connect to a Server: Choose a server location. For most users, "Sweden" or "Netherlands" would be ideal, as they have a good reputation as relatively neutral countries.
- Verify Your Connection: Once connected, visit a website like mullvad.net/check/ to verify that your IP address is being masked and that you are using Mullvad's DNS servers.
4. VPN Protocol Settings.
While Mullvad generally has smart settings as default, make sure to ensure the correct protocol is being used. Here are some good options:
- WireGuard: The recommended high performance modern protocol. It is fast, robust and modern. Has a longer battery life in the long run too.
- OpenVPN: Another good choice. It is older but very well understood. Has a shorter battery life in the long run.
- SOCKS5, Shadowsocks: This is for advanced users. It's primarily for users in heavily censored countries.

Hardening Tor Browser for Enhanced Security
Tor Browser is designed for privacy, but you can take additional steps to harden its security and anonymity. These measures can protect you from advanced attacks and tracking techniques.
1. Security Level Settings:
Tor Browser provides different security levels to balance usability and protection:
- Standard: This is the default setting, allowing all website features. It offers a baseline level of protection.
- Safer: Disables JavaScript on non-HTTPS websites and some HTML5 features. This significantly reduces the attack surface.
- Safest: Disables JavaScript by default, blocks many fonts and images, and disables audio and video. This provides the highest level of security but may break some websites.
To access these settings, click the onion icon in the Tor Browser toolbar, then select "Security Settings." Start with 'Safer' mode and then adjust settings based on your needs, but consider that javascript, can be very problematic and should not be ran often.
2. Disabling JavaScript (NoScript):
JavaScript is a common source of security vulnerabilities. While Tor Browser's "Safer" and "Safest" modes can disable JavaScript, using the NoScript add-on provides more granular control:
- Install NoScript: You do not need to install the NoScript add-on, as it is built into Tor.
- Configuring NoScript: Click the NoScript icon and choose whether to allow scripts globally, block them globally, or selectively allow scripts for specific domains. For maximum security, block scripts globally and only allow them when absolutely necessary.
3. Disabling Third-Party Cookies:
Third-party cookies can be used to track your browsing activity across multiple websites. Disabling them enhances your privacy:
- In Tor Browser, go to "Preferences" (or "Options").
- Navigate to the "Privacy & Security" section.
- Under "Cookies and Site Data," select "Block third-party cookies." You can also choose to clear cookies when Tor Browser closes.
4. Other Security Tips:
- Keep Tor Browser Updated: Regularly update Tor Browser to patch security vulnerabilities.
- Avoid Using Tor for Sensitive Accounts: Do not log in to your personal email or banking accounts while using Tor.
- Be Wary of Downloads: Be cautious when downloading files through Tor, as they can potentially contain malware. Always scan downloaded files with an anti-virus program before opening them.
- Disable Plugins: Disable or remove unnecessary browser plugins, as they can increase the attack surface.
- Use Tor with a VPN: Adding a VPN, such as Mullvad, adds an extra layer of security and prevent people from figuring out you're using Tor.
