๐Ÿ“ Complete install Guide

๐Ÿ“– Practices that I personally try to follow in my setup

  • Secure device with strong password.
  • Keep devices up to date to ensure I recieve the latest security patches.
  • Encrypt sensitive data.
  • Do not plug my device into unknown ports.
  • Never leave my device unattended.
  • Check the legitimacy of the application before installation.
    • verify the name of developers and their actual existence .
    • reading the description of the application and its permissions.
    • reading user reviews & privacy guides.
