Travelling to the US - precautions? - eviltoast

Hi all,

I am travelling soon to the US, for my vocation and as a long-time private person I will be taking some steps to maintain my privacy as I enter the country.

As this is an interesting area of the topic, I have decided to throw the question open to all of you.

What precautions (IT, physical, mental, otherwise) do you undertake when travelling internationally?

M.

    How do you have that pen drive setup? What are you using to encrypt that drive? If it’s a third party encryptor, do you have the encrypt or install file downloaded on that drive also? Basically, what’s the process to get back up and running again?

      I use VeraCrypt to encrypt the whole partition, with a password. I then have on the encrypted partition a backup of my phone contacts, as well as a restricted access wireguard config file pointed at my server. That server hosts VaultWarden, where I can log in with an additional password, and download a wireguard config file with higher access. I then connect using said higher access VPN profile and can download phone backups, access a VaultWarden account with my actual logins, etc.
