This is going to be a guide on how to use PGP encryption on Windows, doing so will be similar on MacOS and Linux. PGP is generally used to encrypt and sign emails. The main goals of PGP is to ensure that only the intended person can read the content of the email and also to confirm that it’s really the person you think it is sending the message.

    I have two thoughts on this:

    First off you shouldn’t be using windows if you care about privacy and freedom. Its just not good for that.

    Second off I wish gpg wasn’t dependent on a single key. If your key is compromised your screwed. You are better off using a messager with better security if you can like session, simplex chat, Jami and a few others.

      Not everyone can do everything at once, and doing something is better than doing nothing at all.

        I agree with both of you above. It’s a journey and starts somewhere, but he’s not wrong with the recommendations, they may just be farther down the road for someone starting out.
