VPN is good, PrivacyGuides has solid recommendations.

I also wouldn't recommend cross contaminating anything IRL with ZV stuff, but that's been already covered I think. Like I wouldn't use my same VPN to log into my Facebook, or for anything other than ZV

I think that approach is called compartmentalizing.
 
So, after reading some of this. I wondering if it's safe for me. I have a private google account on my phone and I'm using that as my domain for accessing this site (as well as all my other private affairs). Should I download a specific VPN or something for using this site?
 
So my ISP (at least I believe) has blocked several sites (this one including) and I was wondering if a VPN will allow me to bypass the block.
I'm on my phones ISP currently but I want to access this site on my PC.
Also if it does work feel free to suggest good VPNs
Also let me know if this discussion is in the wrong place or against any rules I've missed.

Yes it would, but from the perspective of safety, it is not much better than your ISP.
You pay your ISP for internet. They do keep logs and comply with authorities if asked.
You pay your VPN for internet and they claim they do not keep logs and they do not claim they do not comply with authorities.
By the way you have absolutely no way of verifying any log keeping claims by a VPN provider.
Use TOR.

GENERAL POSTING

1. Do not use an identifiable avatar. This includes faces, tattoos, fursuits (especially if they are not yours)

2. Review every picture, every video you post multiple times. Look for identifiable things; houses, barns, unique saddles, collars with or without tags, pictures, furniture, mail, packages, collectibles, mirrors or anything can reflect your face or body, absolutely anything that can be used as identification.

3. If you have a unique pet, be very, very careful. If you have posted normal pictures anywhere, like facebook, twitter, ect., do not post him here or anywhere zoo themed. Even if you delete the social media pics, it's too late. ( Familiarize yourself with Reverse Image Search, what it is, and how it can be used against you )

4. Be careful with the information you post. Anyone with enough patience can piece together little things through pictures, descriptions, email addresses, anything to pinpoint who you are.

5. Use an email that is not attached to anything. Do not use real name, and do not setup a password recovery phone number or alternate email. Make yourself an absolute stand alone free email account and do not use it for anything else but zoo. Not even furry or fursuit related sites or accounts.




ONLINE SECURITY

1. Public IP addresses can be used to track your general location. We Recommend a VPN service like Nord VPN to mask your IP. ALWAYS USE VPN!

2. Use Strong Passwords on your ZooVille Account.

3. Whatsapp and Discord are NOT recommended services for private off-site chat. They have been known to be leaked and report info on users.

4. Telegram and Signal are considered safe in of themselves, however always used a VPN when logging onto telegram and also be wary of phishing for your IP address with external HTML links. This has been used before to catch users NOT using VPN on telegram or Signal.

5. Public telegram links to group chats are allowed here on zooville if you own a group (see site rules), however be aware that bestiality is illegal in many countries. Law enforcement can phish users out into private chats is a common way to trace and doxx your identity. TRUST and RESPONSIBILITY is on your hands for whomever private chats you join.

Telegram not really safe anymore. It was but not nowadays, even with VPN. Maybe with burner + VPN, but not that safe anymore imo.
 
how do y'all feel about session (ik about posting data or contact info info) as a platform for discussion and understanding of different perspectives?

I prefer forums for discussion but Session is good for 1 on 1 chats or small groups of people. Just know if youre sending files on mobile it doesnt auto strip EXIF data from attachments.

I would change this and add Session or SimpleX as messengers. Both do not require a phone number to use are generally pretty intuitive to get setup and both have desktop and mobile applications. I prefer to use SimpleX since my user ID cant be tracked across different groups like in Session. But, most people should be fine with Session as long as they use common sense.
