Good morning friends! Thoughts on my weakest link as far as privacy given the following? GrapheneOS on pixel 4a purchased with cash. Monero to pay for all services: cell via silent.link (data only). VoIP number via jmp.chat (avoid using when possible - used to set up Signal). Always on Mullvad VPN. Monero obtained through unstoppable swap from Bitcoin that was unfortunately obtained via KYC means. Of course, depends on what I do with all that - assume I don't do anything obviously stupid to dox myself lol. I know this isn't enough for a comprehensive assessment/analysis, but maybe enough for a discussion/thoughts?

Looks good to me. Better than 99% of people. Perfecton doesn't exist. The goal is to greatly increase the cost and time for any adversaries so it isn't worth it. Don't be low hanging fruit. Some thoughts: Consider toggling on "Block connections without VPN" under phone settings Network & Internet > VPN > gear icon. Would it be possible to sell the Bitcoin back and rebuy KYC free? If not, maybe use Samourai ore Sparrow whirlpool to mix (preferably with your own dojo). Maybe when you can upgrade to a newer Pixel for security updates. I think Graphene is retiring 4a soon. Maybe you already know of these, but a few things you might find useful: Privacy oriented swap aggregator https://trocador.app/ Proxy shipping https://anonshop.app/ P2P KYC-free Monero/Bitcoin on/off-ramp https://agoradesk.com/
