Hey guys, I have a Google Pixel 8a Smartphone. It is a Degoogled Pixel 8a, currently with Calyxos. Is this the best custom ROM for privacy + security?

I also need to try to make it an Hardened phone. Not a Spy phone..not a Surveillance phone. Basically trying to make it an safe phone, anonymity phone.

What VPN could I use for this phone, and is there any other guides or settings guides you can recommend me.for my phone?

The sim card is a kyc one but im stuck with it.

Thank you.

Someone’s made a comparison of a few ROMs here.

Personally, I’d recommend GrapheneOS like the other commenters have here, but do your own research!

I prefer Calyxos. over Grapheneos, hence, I'm seeking the most appropriate way to make my Pixel 8a Calyxos phone an Anonymity, a Safe phone.

I want the advice, and want to know what my options are if I stick with calyxos.

Also, recommend settings/configuration guides.
