Personal digital sovereignty requires defense-in-depth across DNS queries, local storage encryption, and off-site immutable backup vaults. Here is our technical checklist for hardening personal and workstation setups.
Encrypted DNS: DoH vs DoT
Standard DNS requests leak every domain you visit to your ISP in plain text. Deploying DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) or DNS-over-TLS (DoT) via NextDNS or Quad9 encrypts query streams and blocks tracking domains network-wide.
The 3-2-1-1-0 Backup Rule
Maintain 3 copies of your data, on 2 different media types, with 1 copy offsite, 1 copy immutable (write-once-read-many / air-gapped), and 0 errors verified by regular restore drills.
