If you're looking for a specific solution to something, these are the hardware and software tools we recommend in a variety of categories. Our recommended privacy tools are primarily chosen based on security features, with additional emphasis on decentralized and open-source tools. They are applicable to a variety of threat models ranging from protection against global mass surveillance programs and avoiding big tech companies to mitigating attacks, but only you can determine what will work best for your needs.

![Tor Browser logo](assets/img/browsers/tor.svg){ align=left }

|

**Tor Browser** (Desktop & Android) is the top choice if you need anonymity, as it provides you with access to the **Tor** network, a group of volunteer-operated servers that allows you to connect for free and improve your privacy and security on the Internet. Individuals and organizations can also share information over the Tor network with ".onion hidden services" without compromising their privacy. Because Tor traffic is difficult to block and trace, Tor is an effective censorship circumvention tool.

We recommend **Safari** due to its [anti-fingerprinting](https://webkit.org/blog/15697/private-browsing-2-0/) features and default tracker blocking. It also separates your cookies in private browsing mode to prevent tracking between tabs.

## Top 3 Private VPN Providers

<details class="danger" markdown>
|
|
<summary>VPNs do not provide anonymity</summary>
|
|
|
|
Using a VPN will **not** keep your browsing habits anonymous, nor will it add additional security to non-secure (HTTP) traffic.
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for **anonymity**, you should use the Tor Browser.
|
|
|
|
If you're looking for added **security**, you should always ensure you're connecting to websites using HTTPS. A VPN is not a replacement for good security practices.

### DNS

|
|
|
#### DNS Providers
|
|
|
|
We [recommend](dns.md#recommended-providers) a number of encrypted DNS servers based on a variety of criteria, such as [Mullvad](https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls) and [Quad9](https://quad9.net) amongst others. We recommend for you to read our pages on DNS before choosing a provider. In many cases, using an alternative DNS provider is not recommended.

### Encryption Software
|
|
|
|
<details class="info" markdown>
|
|
<summary>Operating System Disk Encryption</summary>
|
|
|
|
For encrypting your operating system drive, we typically recommend using whichever encryption tool your operating system provides, whether that is **BitLocker** on Windows, **FileVault** on macOS, or **LUKS** on Linux. These tools are included with the operating system and typically use hardware encryption elements such as a TPM that other full-disk encryption software like VeraCrypt do not. VeraCrypt is still suitable for non-operating system disks such as external drives, especially drives that may be accessed from multiple operating systems.
