Hey
I ran into some issues at a border (I won’t go in to details), but it’s made me consider a few things.
Primarily I want to cross borders with an empty phone, but retain my info somewhere so I can have my proper phone once out of danger.
The best option would be to have some kind of a downloadable backup stored somewhere, so I can just ‘put my phone back on my phone’, as it were. iOS style, I mean. You can download an exact copy of your phone there.
As this isn’t possible, I wonder what options I have. I’m thinking of crossing boarders with stock Google installed, then flashing grapheneos once safe.
My thoughts are to utilise my proton account. Use a long memorable diceware password for entry into that, and put my passwords in proton pass, then just using the internet for everything I need, and not worry about any apps.
This posses a few problems with things like signal, and a few other stuff that I can probably do without.
What do others suggest?
