SatoshiShield on Nostr: After you install a Bitcoin node … After you learn how to use conjoins effectively ...
After you install a Bitcoin node …
After you learn how to use conjoins effectively and practice good coin control …
It’s time to begin taking control of YOUR data.
Taking control of your own data is not a single weekend project, and it does not have to be. You can do it in steps, and you do not need to be especially technical to start.
The first step that covers the most ground is filtering at the DNS layer on your home network. Pi-hole and AdGuard Home are both free, and with an AI assistant walking you through it, installing one is well within reach for someone who has never run a server before. Once it is running with a surveillance blocklist like SatoshiShield, every device on your network is covered, with no setup on the devices themselves.
That protection ends at the edge of your home network. The moment your phone is on cellular, it resolves DNS through your carrier and the blocklist does nothing. There are two straightforward ways to carry it with you. You can use Tailscale to route your phone's DNS back to your home Pi-hole over an encrypted tunnel, so it keeps using your filter wherever you are. Or you can install the AdGuard app directly on your phone, point it at the same blocklist, and let it filter on the device with no connection back home needed.
None of this has to happen in a day. Start with the home network, get comfortable, then extend it to your phone when you are ready. The point is that this is within reach now in a way it was not a few years ago.
