0:09
through nine simple steps to become
0:11
anonymous online plus a special bonus
0:13
step that you won't want to miss at the
0:15
end Step one is to use a virtual private
0:18
network VPN The first step to becoming
0:20
anonymous online is to use a virtual
0:23
private network VPN A VPN creates an
0:26
encrypted tunnel between your device and
0:28
the internet which protects your online
0:30
activity from prying eyes It also masks
0:32
your IP address making it difficult for
0:34
anyone to trace your online activity
0:36
back to your physical location I will
0:39
recommend VPN in the description below

Step number two is to use tour browser
0:46
Another way to stay anonymous online is
0:48
to use the tour browser The Tour Browser
0:50
is a free and open-source web browser
0:52
that uses the tour network to anonymize
0:54
your internet traffic It makes it
0:56
difficult for anyone to track your
0:57
online activity as your traffic is
0:59
routed through multiple servers before
1:01
reaching its final destination Step
1:03
number three is to use a secure and
1:05
private search engine Using a secure and
1:07
private search engine like DuckGo
1:09
instead of Google can also help to
1:10
protect your online privacy DuckGo
1:13
doesn't track your search history or use
1:15
your personal data for advertising
1:16
purposes Step number four uses encrypted

communication tools to communicate with
1:21
others online while staying anonymous

watching now I dropped the link in the

1:52
two-factor authentication for your
1:54
online accounts can help to protect your

identity and keep your account secure
1:58
Two-factor authentication requires you
2:00
to provide two forms of identification
2:02
before logging in which makes it
2:04
difficult for anyone else to access your
2:06
accounts Step number six is to use

2:18
and instead use a combination of letters
2:20
numbers and symbols Step number seven is
2:22
use privacy focused browsers Using
2:24
privacy focused browsers like Brave or
2:27
Firefox can also help to protect your
2:29
online privacy These browsers offer
2:31
built-in ad blockers trackers and other
2:33
privacy features that can help to
2:35
prevent websites from tracking your
2:37
activity online Step number eight is to
2:39

2:42
another important step to becoming

information you share online and adjust
2:48

2:54
email address Using a disposable email
2:56
address can also help to protect your
2:57

3:01
email address that you can use for
3:03
online transactions or signing up for
