 **Use a VPN** | Recommended | Use a reputable, paid-for VPN. This can help protect sites you visit logging your real IP, reduce the amount of data your ISP can collect and increase protection on public WiFi. However VPNs alone do not make you anonymous or stop tracking, it's important to understand their [limitations](https://github.com/Lissy93/awesome-privacy#word-of-warning-2). <br>[ProtonVPN](https://protonvpn.com) and [Mullvad](https://mullvad.net) may be good options for many, but for an unbiased comparison, see: [That One Privacy Site](https://thatoneprivacysite.net). Select a service with a good reputation, that does not keep logs, and is not in the [5-eyes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes) jurisdiction
 **Change your Router Password** | Recommended | After getting a new router, change the password. Default router passwords are publicly available (see [default-password.info](https://default-password.info)), meaning anyone within proximity would be able to connect. See [here](https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-change-your-wireless-routers-admin-password-2487652), for a guide on changing router password
 **Use WPA2, and a strong password** | Recommended | There are different authentication protocols for connecting to WiFi. Currently the most secure is options are [WPA2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11i-2004) and [WPA3](https://www.pcmag.com/news/what-is-wpa3-more-secure-wi-fi) (on newer routers). WEP and WPA are moderately [easy to crack](https://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-wi-fi-cracking-wep-passwords-with-aircrack-ng-0147340/). Ensure it is strong: 12+ alpha-numeric characters, avoiding dictionary words. You can set this within your routers admin panel
-**Keep router firmware up-to-date** | Recommended | Manufacturers release firmware updates that fix security vulnerabilities, implement new standards and sometimes add features/ improve the performance your router. It's important to have the latest firmware installed, to avoid a malicious actor exploiting an un-patched vulnerability. <br>You can usually do this by navigating to [192.168.0.1](192.168.0.1) or [192.168.1.1](192.168.1.1), entering the admin credentials (on the back of you of your router, not your WiFi password!), and follow the instructions, see: [Asus](https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1005484/), [D-Link](https://eu.dlink.com/uk/en/support/faq/routers/mydlink-routers/dir-810l/how-do-i-upgrade-the-firmware-on-my-router), [Linksys (older models)](https://www.linksys.com/us/support-article?articleNum=140365), [NetGear](https://kb.netgear.com/23442/How-do-I-update-my-NETGEAR-router-s-firmware-using-the-Check-button-in-the-router-web-interface) and [TP-Link](https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/688/).

 **Implement a Network-Wide VPN** | Optional | If you configure your VPN on your router, firewall or home server, then traffic from all devices will be encrypted and routed through it, without needing individual VPN apps. This reduces the chance: of IP leaks, VPN app crashes, and provides VPN access to devices which don't support VPN clients (TV's, Smart Hubs, IoT devices etc)
 **Protect against DNS leaks** | Optional | When using a VPN, it is extremely important to exclusively use the DNS server of your VPN provider or secure service. For OpenVPN, you can add: `block-outside-dns` to your config file (which will have the extension `.ovn` or `.conf`). If you are unable to do this, then see [this article](https://www.dnsleaktest.com/how-to-fix-a-dns-leak.html) for further instructions. You can check for leaks, using a [DNS Leak Test](https://www.dnsleaktest.com/)
 **Use a secure VPN Protocol** | Optional | [OpenVPN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVPN) and [WireGuard](https://www.wireguard.com/) are open source, lightweight and secure [tunneling protocols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunneling_protocol). Avoid using [PPTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol) or [SSTP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Socket_Tunneling_Protocol). [L2TP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_2_Tunneling_Protocol) can be good, but only when configured correctly
 **Secure DNS** | Optional | Use [DNS-over-HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_over_HTTPS) which performs DNS resolution via the HTTPS protocol, encrypting data between you and your DNS resolver. Although DoH is [not perfect](https://www.netsparker.com/blog/web-security/pros-cons-dns-over-https/), it does remove the need for trust - see [Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 Docs](https://1.1.1.1/help) for more details
-**Avoid the free router from your ISP** | Optional | Typically they’re manufactured cheaply in bulk in China, with insecure propriety firmware that doesn't recieve regular security updates. Consider an open source router (such as [Turris MOX](https://www.turris.cz/en/mox/overview/)) or a comercial router with [secure firmware](https://github.com/Lissy93/awesome-privacy#router-firmware)

 **Whitelist MAC Addresses** | Optional | You can whitelist MAC addresses in your router settings, disallowing any unknown devices to immediately connect to your network, even if they know your credentials. Note that a malicious actor may be able to bypass this, by cloning their address to appear the same as one of your trusted devices, but it will add an extra step
 **Change the Router’s Local IP Address** | Optional | It is possible for a malicious script in your web browser, to exploit a cross site scripting vulnerability, accessing known-vulnerable routers at their local IP address and tampering with them (known as [CSRF Attack](https://decoded.avast.io/threatintel/router-exploit-kits-an-overview-of-routercsrf-attacks-and-dns-hijacking-in-brazil/)). Updating your routers local IP address, so that it is not the default (usually 192.168.0.1 or [similar](https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/default-router-ip-address-list/)), can help protect you from some of these automated attacks
 **Don't Reveal Personal Info in SSID** | Optional | You should update your network name, choosing an SSID that does not identify you, include your flat number / address, and does not specify the device brand/ model. It may be beneficial to avoid something very unique, as services like [Wigle](https://www.wigle.net/)'s WiFi map can link an SSID directly back to your home address. This may also slightly aid in deterring an opportunistic attacker, as it indicates the router is being conscientiously administered. See, [how to update SSID](https://www.lifewire.com/change-the-wifi-name-ssid-on-a-router-818337)

 **Activate Screen-Lock when Idle** | Recommended | Get in the habit of locking your computer, whenever you step away from it. Reduce the amount of time that your computer is idle for, before the screensaver activates, and ensure that it will lock when the mouse is moved, so no one can access your data, when you step away from your desk. In Windows, check `Personalization --> Screensaver --> On resume, display login screen`, and in MacOS, check `Security & Privacy --> General --> Require password immediately after screensaver starts`. In Linux, `Brightness & Lock --> Require my password when waking up from suspend`. Better still, never leave your computer unattended, even in trusted environments
 **Disable Cortana or Siri** | Recommended | Using a voice-controlled assistant, sends commands back to Microsoft or Apple as well as data about your files for local search, which have some [serious privacy implications](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/05/the-privacy-problem-with-digital-assistants/483950/). They're always listening, waiting for the trigger word, and this can lead to parts of conversations being accidentally recorded. To disable this, in Windows, navigate to `Settings --> Cortana` and switch it to `Off`. You should also stop your speech, typing and handwriting patterns being sent to Microsoft, since this can be used to identify you, as well as potentially leaking sensitive data - navigate to `Settings --> Privacy --> Speech, Inking, & Typing`, and click `Turn off`. In Mac it's not easy to fully disable Siri, but you can stop it from always listening, go to `System Preferences --> Siri`, and uncheck `Enable Siri`
 **Review your Installed Apps** | Recommended | It’s good practice to keep installed applications to a minimum. Not only does this keep your machine lean, it also reduces your exposure to vulnerabilities. You should also clear application cache's regularly. As well as looking through your application list manually, there are also tools that make this easier, such as [BleachBit](https://www.bleachbit.org/)
-**Manage Permissions** | Recommended | In a similar way to phones, your OS can grant certain permissions to applications. It's important to keep control over which apps and services have access to your location, camera, microphone, contacts, calendar and other account information. Some systems let you restrict which apps can send or recieve messages, as well as which apps can which processes can control radios such as Bluetooth and WiFi. In Windows, navigate to `Settings --> Privacy`, and for MacOS, go to `System Preferences --> Security & Privacy --> Privacy`. <br>Note that there are other methods that apps can use to access this data, and this is just one step towards protecting it. You should check back regularly, as sometimes system updates can cause some privacy settings to be modified or reverted

 **Disallow Usage Data from being sent to the Cloud** | Recommended | Both Windows and MacOS collect usage information or feedback, which is send to the cloud for analytics, diagnostics and research. Although this data should be anonymized, it can often be linked back to your identity when compared with other usage data. In Windows, there is no way to disable this fully, but you can limit it- navigate to `Settings --> Privacy --> Feedback & diagnostics`, and select `Basic`. You also have the option to disallow your advertising ID from being shared with apps on your system. In MacOS, it can be turned off fully, go to `System Preferences --> Privacy --> Diagnostics & Usage`, and untick both options
 **Avoid Quick Unlock** | Recommended | Use a password to unlock your computer, ensure it is long and strong. Avoid biometrics such as facial recognition and fingerprint. These can be spoofed, allowing an intruder access to your account. Also, for Windows devices, avoid using a short PIN to unlock your machine.
 **Power Off Computer, instead of Standby** | Recommended | You must shut down your device when not in use, in order for the disk to be encrypted. Leaving it in standby/ sleep mode keeps your data in an unencrypted state, and vulnerable to theft. Microsoft even recommends [disabling the sleep functionality](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/information-protection/bitlocker/bitlocker-security-faq#what-are-the-implications-of-using-the-sleep-or-hibernate-power-management-options) all together, once BitLocker is enabled. This only applies to encrypted disks, and is true for FileVault (MacOS), BitLocker (Windows), VeraCrypt, Self-Encrypting Drives and most other disk encryption methods. Another reason to shut down, is because the machine is completely offline while it is off, and cannot be hacked remotely. It also can't communicate with a command and control server, if it has already been infected with an exploit
