One thing you need to do is establish a set of pre-shared keys or passpharses with someone you trust outside of the country. Take a look at https://www.openkeychain.org/ https://www.openkeychain.org/. You can take a look at a guide I wrote for people travelling into hostile network areas and adapt some of it to your perosnal circumstance: https://www.anomie.tech/craft/secure-tunnel/ https://www.anomie.tech/craft/secure-tunnel/ Get yourself a good high gain directional wifi antenna to support physically distant network connections. Make friends with any HAM radio operators in your country. Maybe buy your close friends some out-of-band communications tools such as https://gotenna.com/ https://gotenna.com/ If you'd like more advice feel free to reach out to me. [EDIT] forgot to add, it is very much worth having a satellite channel for basic communications. The cheapest, most consumer friendly is the Garmin https://discover.garmin.com/en-US/inreach/personal/ https://discover.garmin.com/en-US/inreach/personal/
- na85 5y agoI actually think openkeychain is a bad recommendation. PGP is notoriously hard to use properly, it's not forward-secure, and unlike most PGP users, OP actually needs reliable security. I'd honestly just use Signal or something like it.
- jrexilius 5y agoOpenKeychain usage isn't limited to PGP in email. It's quite easy to use to simply encrypt files or short strings for use in other mediums. Yes, I'd use Signal for what it was designed for: secure chat in circumstances where I trusted both my phone and my counter parties phone. But learning to use an additional tool for different circumstances in his context I don't think is that hard.
