Hello all, can you recommend reliable security tools? What combinations do you use? Or do you have only one on your device? Now I have only one (Nordlocker for files encryption). It works nicely, but I'd like to add something more to protect passwords, browsing history and so on. Thanks!

Not sure what sort of security you mean but here is what I have;
ExpressVPN for online anonymity and access to my home media overseas.
Brave browser for surfing.
Safari with AdGuard extension for trusted sites and online banking.
DetectX Swift for malware detection and removal.
Of course there are many variations such as the AdGuard app which works system wide on everything.
DuckDuckGo is a good anti tracking search engine.
You can use Apple’s native encryption and fire wall but I would not advise it nor do I think they are necessary if other steps are taken encryption can cause more problems than it’s likely to solve unless you are an international corporate spy.
