Hello guys, I’ve never had a VPN before but I do have a crazy cyberhacker. I’m trying to get a VPN on a new device on a new network.

I know that VPN’s are not 100% foolproof, but I’m hoping these methods would help.

Let me know if there are additional measures I could use, as well as if anyone can point me out to any tutorials on how to do them would be greatly appreciated!

  1. Get a VPN
  2. Make sure kill switch is on as well as a firewall? (I know about this context but not fully about firewall. Care to explain how to do it and how it protects? Is it foolproof?)
  3. DNS rerouter
  4. anything else? I really need to keep my location safe (will have GPS off and connect to a local mcdonalds wifi or something)

Thanks you guys! counting on you :)
