Thanks for answering. Is there a way where i can use my Phone safe then? I thought if i use it via the lte router i would be fine. Maybe a VPN like mulldav?

Never let your "anonymous" device and your "personal" device exist in the same place at the same time while powered on. They will exchange Bluetooth/Wi-Fi handshakes or be geolocated together, effectively "doxing" your anonymous identity to your real-world identity.

I would rate 8.5/10 because routing your internet traffic using a phone which you use for anything else besides the routing itself introduces an attack vector and I'm not a 100 percent sure but back in the day I heard some bad stuff about Session and I would rather use SimpleX or a self hosted XMPP server with encryption and over tor.

Besides that everything is looking great and if you want level up your mobile opsec I would recommend checking out GrapheneOS.

Stay safe!

Thanks for answering. Does it change your rating when the location is the home instead of for example free wifi?

Good base, but gaps remain.

Pros: Tails + dedicated hardware, anonymous SIM, JS disabled, separate phone for comms.

Weak spots:

· CakeWallet on that phone = device fingerprint + cell tower pings (LE can geolocate you roughly)

· LTE router + phone share an Ip links your comms to crypto activity

· "Anonymous" SIM isn't unless bought with cash & never used near home

· Signal needs a number, even a burner ties to that SIM

Fix those, and you're in better shape.

It's not bad per se, but it's not nearly as private as using it one open wifi at a location not associated with you.

Sorry for answering after a week I had some shit to take care off.

Sure if you can use some kind of free wifi like in a cafe or a mall or something like that you can cut off the potential linking of your home and your network to your activity. Downsides of this are obviously slower speed of the internet connection and also the fact that you can be watched on a CCTV or by a shoulder surfer so you have to watch out for that.

If you live near a business providing such free wifi you could look into amplifying wifi signal so you could use it from your the comfort of your home.

Again sorry for answering this late, if you have some other ideas feel free to discuss them here.

Stay safe.
