How can I help against surveillance and how can I improve my privacy

Hi I'm a teen from Israel (don't worry I used a throwaway account for this with a VPN (proton multihop is currently the only one I have) also I would like to say that I don't identify with my current government. I actually went to protests against them.

So I have some questions as I recently started my privacy journey:

  1. How can I help? I don't have much money at all don't know how to code and can't really vote and even when I will be able to I don't live in a significant country that really will change much .(even though I will try) how can I help privacy?

  2. How to improve my privacy I currently use nextcloud immich jellyfin and some more self hosted services. I also use brave librewolf and vanadium with duckduckgo. I use GrapheneOS on my phone nixos on my laptop (Asus vivobook is what I have) LineageOS on my tablet (for school) and proxmox and debian for my self hosted server.

This is the full list of what I use:

Google play store (this is what GrapheneOS recommends) acrresent fdroid and obtanium

Futo keyboard

​duckduckgo ai

Comaps

Proton mail VPN and pass (free tier except VPN)

Tailscale to connect to my server​

I have to use WhatsApp because I didnt convince anyone to switch to signal and I have to for school.

What should I change or improve?

  1. What vpn to choose im currently using protonvpn but I want to switch what is the best option out of these three? (mullvad ivpn and nym)​

  2. When I will have the money what laptop should I get for privacy? (Intel me)

  3. What is a cheap (preferably free) way to connect to my server? Port fowarding is not an option.

​6. My school requires many google services what should I do?

Sorry if my English is bad.​
