oh my goodness I see…. wow 😮 What a trip that is to know. Let me explain I live in a small town that I moved to a couple years ago with my BF well I caught him in bed someone so I broke up with him and in return he took our vehicle and left I text him after a month went by and told him I was done and not to call me again.

Well he showed back up and I told him it was over dont contact me again Ok So here’s the problem I have Because I told him never to contact me an he retaliated by ruining my name in this town where he’s from and I’m not he drained our bank accounts and took the car so the problem I have is, I can’t move and the bigger problem I have is he is related to and also friends with the police the mobile phone carriers, ext …. individuals here in the town play by there own set of rules not by the corporations or even HIPPA they can access anybody and everybody they want you and I found out that on my other plan which was an AT&T prepaid plan he somehow managed to hack into my device and know who I was calling when I was calling, where I was going and some how even had my outgoing call redirected to people he knows so I for a while thought I was calling to or even online chatting with companies etc. etc. so with that said no, I don’t need to hook up to a business work or school or whatever you said but everything I read whether it’s free or not says use a VPN because that can hide even to my Internet provider or my cell phone service the sites called and apps.

I need it to hide everything I need Security on my advice. If you can give me any advice I’d really appreciate it with all that said, and thanks for your time in reading this everybody I appreciate your help and answers.

Line breaks help with readability.

Adding a second (and weak) layer of encryption (with added logging and tracking) is unnecessary. Add-on VPNs do nothing for your case, or for your security. They can detract from it, and from your privacy. Add-on VPNs solve a problem that hasn’t existed for a decade.

Generally: Read and follow this:

… Personal Safety User Guide - Apple Support

Usual way we ourselves get hacked:

… Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support

That’s us ourselves getting fooled, scammed, phished, or otherwise compromising our own security. Hacking an currently-updated iPhone is both difficult, and very expensive.

What to do? Robust and unique passwords, enable two-factor authentication, keep everything updated to current, Wi-Fi WPA2 AES or better and a password of sixteen characters or so, secure your carrier account, etc.

Re-used passwords, compromised passwords, known passwords, short passwords, short passcodes, all bad.

As for most of what you’re referencing and alleging in that thread, that’s better an issue for local or for state law enforcement, or for a discussion with a victims’ rights representative or lawyer.
