Let's get this straight now: VPN's do NOT intrinsically increase your online privacy or security. Think about it this way: Instead of your traffic going from point A (your device) to B (destination server), it goes from point A, to the VPN server (point C), to point B. So all your traffic runs through that vpn server which could theoretically track everything you do and be far worse than not using one at all. So which VPN should I use? There's a comparison here by thatoneprivacyguy. One rule of thumb for VPNs and most other services: if it's free, you're the product. But the real answer is:host it yourself. Because who else can you truely trust? So how do you go about this process?
DNSCrypt is a protocol that helps secure and lock down your DNS requests. See the official site here for more details. You can use existing servers and/or create your own. The easiest way is listed here (note the other methods in the side bar). I made an install script for it to make it even easier here. It installs the docker img, changes your ssh port (you can change this at the top of the script, you also may need to change the server_ip6 variable), configures the firewall, and sets it to auto-update.
Searx is a metasearch engine and a great way to search the web without being tracked. Installation instructions can be found here. The android app is out of date and so I forked and updated it here. However, I wrote a new app that uses webview since many searx instances don't work with the above app here.
