About AnonGuide
What this site covers
AnonGuide explains digital privacy and anonymity in plain language. It starts from threat modelling, because the right tool depends entirely on who you are trying to be private from, and works outward to the specific tools people actually reach for.
- Threat modelling before tool selection
- VPNs, Tor and proxies, and what each one really hides
- Encrypted messaging: Signal, SimpleX, Session and the metadata problem
- Browser fingerprinting, and why hiding an IP address does not stop it
- Anonymity operating systems, on the desktop and on the phone
- Reducing the personal data you leave behind, and removing what is already out there
19 articles are published so far. New ones are announced on the RSS feed.
Three pages are worth knowing about before the articles. The threat-model builder turns the adversaries, assets and constraints you pick into a prioritised plan, entirely in your browser and without storing anything. The glossary defines the network, browser, device and operational terms the guides use. The resource library links the primary documentation those guides are built from, so you can check any claim at its source.
How these articles are produced
Articles here are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, research papers and preprints, and measurements published by whoever took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those cited sources before anything is published.
No article on this site is based on first-hand testing in a private lab, and nothing here should be read as a measurement report of its own. Where a number appears, it comes from a source that is named, so you can check the original instead of taking this site's word for it.
Everything is published under a single editorial byline. That byline is a publishing identity for the site, not a claim about a named individual, and it does not carry professional credentials.
Corrections
Corrections are welcome. If something here is wrong, out of date, or attributed to the wrong source, email hello@anonguide.com with the page address and what it should say. Substantive corrections are made in the article itself rather than quietly dropped.
