B2C — Data Protection & Linux

Tor, VPN & DNS Hardening

Clean Mullvad or IVPN setup, DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS, and an optional walkthrough of Tor, Whonix, or Tails.

A clear, no-nonsense network-privacy setup on laptop and phone. We don’t install pseudo-solutions — we configure Mullvad or IVPN properly, harden DNS, and explain when Tor is actually the right tool.

What’s included

  • Mullvad or IVPN setup on laptop and phone (anonymous account number, payment in cash possible)
  • WireGuard configuration with DNS-leak protection and a killswitch
  • Encrypted DNS (DNS-over-HTTPS or DNS-over-TLS) — Quad9, NextDNS, or self-hosted Unbound
  • Optional: Tor Browser walkthrough for occasional research
  • Optional: Whonix or Tails setup for higher-stakes use — e.g. journalistic source work
  • Brief threat-model framing: what VPN and Tor actually do and don’t protect against

Who it’s for

Individuals who want to hide their IP from websites and their ISP, protect DNS lookups from ad networks, or use Tor occasionally for research — without false security promises.

What’s not included

No VPN subscription — you pay Mullvad or IVPN directly (typically €5/month). We explicitly do not recommend free VPNs or providers that operate as advertising vehicles.
