Hey.

My phone is a Pixel 8A Graphene OS Phone. I Want to make this phone a Hardended phone. A safe phone. Privacy friendly phone. Not a Watched or tapped into phone. Basically limit the spying and intercepting and get control of the spying mechanisms that may be at play.

The phone has Sandboxed google.play services.

(grapheneos) and 1 profile (owner)

The phone has a kyc sim card. ( currently no way out)

Thanks.

    Sure, disable airplane mode whenever you need to. I just find a public wifi network but my phone usage is very minimal.

    That how I mostly make and receive phone calls, over wifi at home.

      Thanks for the reply.

      I will definitely stick with Airplane mode.

      Plus 02 Wi-Fi calling but the sim card is kyc. Is this still fine?

      Also, under my private DNS in my phone settings, there is an " Off * " Automatic " Private DNS provider hostname. "

      If I go with ivpn, should I set that to Automatic and leave It on Automatic?

      Thank you.
