i mean when it comes down to it, if the NSA or GCHQ is after YOU and I mean really after you. There probably isn't much you can do other than give up all tech completely forever. OR get with a person who specializes in changing ID's and they do exist. Just expensive.
But other than that, they aren't some magical eye in the sky seeing all and knowing all, just stay off their radar and you'll be fine. When I mean a GOOD VPN I just meant one that uses openVPN 256 at least and keeps NO logs ever, some keep logs so your use can be correlated with things and you don't want that, but even that is minor and they would need to be onto you already. Use textsecure, redphone, surf on a VPN always, use secure WIFI also you'll be fine.
If you want to use a phone, yeah by nature they are going to know where you are LOL, that is the point, but ou can keep them from knowing what you are doing with the above programs. Wickr won't even allow the phone to take a screen shot of your screen and destructs the msgs when you tell it to. plus 512 bit encryption, no one can beat that. Use long long passwords, more than 15 characters. Get a samsung SSD and it has 256 encryption hardware built in, turn it on and make a good password, that way if it gets stolen in vegas or something it's useless to the person. Same with phones, who cares about locating your iphone if its stolen, encrypt it, then it's useless.
Also if you are using a VPN then connecting to TOR to get on say something you shouldn't don't do it at home please. Yeah you're pretty secure BUT you never know, use an encrypted laptop and use an open wifi at a cafe or something, you'll be fine.
Now the day quantum computing comes along......we might be fucked lol, they can break 512 bit in minutes. But I think we will just quantum to make nearly impossible algo's as well so it will continue to be a stalemate. One simple thing though to beat all the computing power in the world, when you encrypt your laptop, phone, home computer only allow 10 attempts before it's secure deleted. My S6 does this by default as do most blackberries. Really buying a blackphone is a waste all they do is use samsung knox to seperate the phone into two entities. The new app by mcafee is free and let's you know if your mic is being used, camera, speaker, everything, Very neat security. Also aomei has a stingray detector app you can use as well to see if you are being targeted since they only work on 2g.
