Next steps (a) & (b) are for accessing internet anonymously ONLY AFTER you have completed
the above steps.
<br><br>
</h4>
<h4><b>a. Accessing internet anonymously - eSIM</b></h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li>Dress up all black and go to a random place insignificant to you, get your phone out
of the faraday bag, and connect to a public wifi.</li>
<br>
<li>Download <a href="/opsec/MobileTor/index.html">tor browser</a> in your grapheneOS
phone.</li>
<br>
<li>Via the tor browser, with some monero, purchase an eSIM from https://silent.link,
and activate it on the secondary phone.</li>
<br>
<li>Make sure that while you're doing this, you're not under any security surveillence
(cameras, law encorcement buildings, etc).</li>
<br>
<li>Once you validate that the eSIM works, disconnect from and forget the public WiFi
network, power the device off, and put it in the faraday back again right away.</li>
</ul>
</h4>
<hr>
<h5 style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">⚠️ Although eSIM method works well, you need to remember that
the moment you activate it, the systems <u>start tower-triangulation right away</u> and
doing it anywhere close to your
location of interest might be <u>potentially risky</u>. You also need to be careful NOT to
switch it on at your own home by any chance,
or you could hear the <u>bang on your door soon</u>. This is why its best to use open public
wifi.⚠️</h5>
<hr>
<h4><b>b. Accessing internet anonymously - public wifi</b></h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li>There are multiple advantages to use tools like <a
href="https://openwifimap.net">openwifimap</a> to find public WiFi cafe networks
to connect to.</li>
<br>
<li>If for some reason the app/website does not show free open WiFi around your area,
you might want to go for a walk like a normal person just to grab some coffee and
note down the password without any suspicious movements.</li>
<br>
<li>Make sure to install <a href="https://f-droid.org/">f-droid</a> on your grapheneOS
and install <a href="https://blog.nowhere.moe/opsec/MobileTor/index.html">tor
browser</a> and <a
href="https://support.torproject.org/glossary/orbot/">orbot</a> vpn from it.
Check "Setting up package managers" section of <a
href="/opsec/graphene/index.html">this</a> to be guided through how to install
fdroid securely.
</li>
<br>
<li>Go in your grapheneOS settings and search for 'VPN' , find and select more options
for orbot vpn after opening the orbot app once and giving it permission to start a
VPN.
Select the option to set orbot as an "Always-on VPN" and turn on "Block all
connections not using this VPN".
<br><br>
(or)
<br><br>
Install Mullvad VPN and proceed with the same steps to block all connections not
using Mullvad.
<br><br>
<img src="1.png" style="width: 20%;">
<h5 style="color: rgba(255, 230, 0, 0.795);">⚠️ Although Mullvad is one of the very
few trustable VPNs out there, we can NEVER trust a single entity so its better
and free to use orbot. ⚠️</h5>

<h2><b>Anonymous Communications</b></h2>
<br>
<h4>A trusted, decentralised communication platform for discussing things about the protest is the most important thing. Despite having all
the proxies and anonymization tools in your hand, if the Law Enforcement already knows about the people going to protest, they can arrest them prior the protest.
<br><br>
This is why you need a secure, decentralised, end-to-end encryption based messaging platform.
