Advanced Security (From forum thread)DJ Panda's Mobile Security Config

[DJ Panda]

Hello all,

I got this phone not too long ago. Let me know of any recommendations. I'm not very worried overall of my risk to infection because of the very little I do on the device, but suggestions are welcome!

Version of Android OS?

Biometric lock settings?

Secure DNS, VPN for untrusted public Wi-Fi networks?

Huh, cool I just tried the biometic lock. I'll use it alongside my pin.
Any recommended secure DNS? Would I put it in my WI-FI settings?

Thanks for the tips!

Hello all,

I added fingerprint login as well as enabled the AdGuard DNS shown in the mobile app. Let me know if there's anything else.

Same situation as mine with my cheapo Samsung J3 V3. A few calls, texts and streaming podcasts.
