I think easyoptouts is worth it ($20/quarter). It has like a 70% success rate which will decrease a ton of grunt work for you. There are a lot (well north of 150+) of these data sites to try and manage.

Just because you remove data once does not mean it won’t be put back on the site later which means you need to make a habit of constantly rechecking the sites if you chose to do it yourself.

I would also recommend signing up to have Google alert you when your name comes up in searches. This will make it easy to remove them from Google and let you know what you still have to remove.

I would just caution you to make sure the changes you make to Mullvad don’t change its fingerprint otherwise its kind of moot to use it over a privacy configured version of Firefox.

You can at least self host this option. Still a lot of the same privacy issues any type of tracking software is going to have.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you need.

The most private way to buy Monero would be using https://haveno.exchange/ (no KYC, transactions over Tor)

In terms of wallets I think Feather or Cake Wallet is the way to go.

Its a bit odd to see an employee of a company that has always had a terrible privacy policy now be suddenly alarmed.

If I’m not mistaken the big missing privacy feature vs privacy.com is that you are still required to provide your real name and other accurate details as part of the transaction process.

For the past 5ish years I had google WiFi pucks (gen 1, ac1200). 4 pucks, one as the router 3 as APs. 3/4 pucks were wired.

Switched over to using a NanoPi R4S (4GB version) as my router and 2x ZyXEL NWA50AX Pros for my APs. The cost for this is actually right around OPs budget, maybe a bit over.

The biggest improvements, in terms of speed for me, are devices that are WiFi 6 capable now getting much better wireless speeds (not super surprising), some going from around 200mbps to about 600mbps.

To be clear there there are over 30 devices on my network spread over 2000 sqft so I am a bit reluctant to reduce everything to a couple of speed tests when there are other factors involved.

Interesting. When I upgraded from WiFi 5 to WiFi 6 it was a significant upgrade but there are a ton of other factors that play into what actual speeds a user may get.

I was more just interested in getting more details about OPs needs as OP basically only provided a budget, which makes it a bit difficult to give advice.

It might be helpful to specify your network needs. The system you linked is a WiFi 5 system. That’s 10+ year old technology.

What kind of speeds are you looking for? Will your access points be wired or wireless?
