Cryptomator

When it comes to saving your files on a cloud server, it is important to ensure the security of those files. Keeping your delicate files out of the wrong hands can save you a lot of time and hassle. Read more about Cryptomator.

Use cryptomator to auto encrypt files when uploading files to cloud. Use veracrypt for a more secure, but manual option, or just GnuPg which is included by default in most distros, however gnupg doesn’t support folder encryption.

I personally use a PiHole for a DNS server, which is configured to use Cloudflare using DoH (DNS over HTTPS). I also block all DNS outbound on my network firewall. The PiHole DNS server is configured for my network devices over DHCP, which is also the PiHole server. This allows me to connect to other devices on my network by name, track IP assignments, track DNS queries, and block data collection and unauthorized DNS queries by various devices like my Amazon Echo or PlayStation.

Keybase

Keybase will be a public directory of publicly auditable public keys.

I also personally use and recommend keybase. It provides a convenient way to manage GPG keys, encrypt/sign messages, as well as cloud storage (encrypted with your GPG keys), encrypted and private git repos, and a crypto wallet.

You are being watched.

I agree, but the one I mentioned in the post: quad9, is recommended by privacytools.io, is the only provider (in that list) which is based in switzerland, and has a good privacy policy. Adguard Home, is the dns server not the provider.
