I recently put together a detailed opsec guide that covers practical steps for reducing your digital footprint, securing communications, and avoiding common pitfalls people make when trying to stay private online.

The goal was to create something that's actually useful and not just the usual "use a vpn and tor" advice. I tried to break down realistic methods that can help both beginners and people already familiar with opsec.

Id love to get some feedback from the community - what's missing, what could be improved, and if there's anything you disagree with.

A table of contents with links to headers would be good to include, so people can easily jump to sections that interest them.

An additional subheading for each category that covers negative consequences of using whatever method might be good, especially since this is a guide for neophytes as well as more experienced people, and the (often) inverse relationship between security and useability isn't always understood.
