Hi Glenn, Moni here. My question is, How can one go completely off grid and be totally invisible to the system--if a lot of things we do on our computers and phones depends on the internet? What would be a simple and good start? Thanks?

Hi Monica. The only way to go completely off grid is to literally go off grid, go in the mountains somewhere and totally get away from society. There are people who do extreme privacy while living in society, but it is an all consuming activity. These people are very knowledgeable regarding programming, etc, or they have a lot of money to hire experts full time. You can, however, minimize your footprint, reduce your risk, take thoughtful precautions and be much more private compared to other people. By taking the actions I present in the Privacy Action Plan, you will be much more private and secure than the vast majority of people. I have no way to know the exact number, but my guess is that you will be more private and secure than 90-95% of people. If you want to go beyond this, then be prepared to live and breathe privacy and security.
