Help with a Pixel + Graphene OS CUSTOM ROM. (lemmy.today)

Hello, I have a Pixel 8A GrapheneOs phone. I Want to make this a Safe phone. A privacy friendly phone. Basically I want to strip any/all tracking features of this phone, whilst making it hard against any adversaries to monitor me/track me, or watch my phone or its activities.

Not doing anything wrong, just want to know what are my best moves with this phone.

What VPN should I use on this phone?

The threat actor is mostly local feds, and doing what's necessary to stop them getting grips of surveillance.

Thank you.

For feds don't carry a phone, anything with a cell modem can be tracked easily.

You're connected to a cell tower/to a router.

Your ISP can see your address before connecting to the VPN.

Instead of a VPN just route everything true tor. And block anything that tries to get around it.
