A meta-search engine a little like Searx. Not as featureful, not many features, but for something quick and dirty to just get stuff done it seems to do the job. No Javascript. Self hosted.

This post will detail the steps involved to configure an Android device to audit the traffic of any app installed on it, requiring no other device to be physically present. The device will have to be rooted in order to install the software required for this setup. All of the software required in this post is free of cost and open-source, not requiring an extra penny of investment above and beyond that of the device itself. The end result will allow the user to open an app in a specialized way that allows the traffic to be logged, without attaching extraneous devices or requiring the device to be connected to any specific network or access point.

These links are not meant to be scary - they are meant to be strictly informative. These things are not at all exclusive to furries - but are seen throughout the internet and in real life. These guides are made to make the fandom a safer place and to make people more aware of issues they otherwise may not know about.
While this is primarily for use in the Furry Fandom it applies to everyone online, minor or not. This is just a guide to help people spot signs of abuse. Please know that some of these alone do not mean anything - however if there is a pattern please ask a trusted friend or family member about what you are experiencing. Please pass this on to people who you feel may be suffering from abuse. Feel free to repost as this is a community resource.

A Community-driven, FLOSS-licensed Wiki documenting unsolicited requests, metadata leaks, and privacy-invasive features in applications. Privacy is a complex topic, and can be very context specific. I, NetNauseam, believe the best approach to privacy is to simply stop all applications from leaking data and metadata to and through the network.
All information in this repo should be viewed as an opinion, not a fact, and I do not claim your privacy will be improved in any way by following any of these recommendations. These are complex topics with many edge cases and any guarantees are difficult, if not impossible, to make.
