Anyone in a 14 eyes country is essentially impossible to achieve zero footprint, but assuming they're not actively looking into your network packets or searching for you on CCTV its feasible to have a relatively low footprint. I'm essentially trying to eliminate as far as practical, any data points I'm just giving away for free for no reason, especially to corporations and advertisers.
Afraid they almost definitely are actively monitoring all my above-ground activities lol, I'm in a country getting quite a bit of international flak for cracking down on political dissidents. Won't say any more than that, tbh that doesn't narrow down my location much with the current state of things anyway. But yeah I agree, I want to minimise the amount of data accessible about me.
