A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Login to your router or wireless access point and check what devices are connected. Then setup mac adress filtering to improve your security, if you can be bothered to have to add your devices mac adresses manually.
mac adresses are easily spoofed though, so it isn't foolproof.
Also note that mac addresses can change automatically on iOS, because of the Private Wifi Address feature
Same on Android, though the default is a random MAC per network/ssid
and Android.
