 107 <h3>Bring Email Self-Defense to new people</h3>
 108
 109 <p>Understanding and setting up email encryption is a daunting task for
 110 many. To welcome them, make it easy to find your public key and offer to
 111 help with encryption. Here are some suggestions:</p>
 112
 113 <ul>
 114 <li>Lead an Email Self-Defense workshop for your friends and community,
 115 using our <a href="workshops.html">teaching guide</a>.</li>
 116
 117 <li>Use <a href="https://fsf.org/share?u=https://u.fsf.org/zb&amp;t=Encrypt
 118 with me using Email Self-Defense %40fsf">our sharing page</a> to compose
 119 a message to a few friends and ask them to join you in using encrypted
 120 email. Remember to include your GnuPG public key fingerprint so they can
 121 easily download your key.</li>
 122
 123 <li>Add your public key fingerprint anywhere that you normally display
 124 your email address. Some good places are: your email signature (the text
 125 kind, not the cryptographic kind), social media profiles, blogs, Websites,
 126 or business cards. At the Free Software Foundation, we put ours on our <a
 127 href="https://fsf.org/about/staff">staff page</a>.</li>

 137 <h3>Protect more of your digital life</h3>
 138
 139 <p>Learn surveillance-resistant technologies for instant
 140 messages, hard drive storage, online sharing, and more at <a
 141 href="https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Collection:Privacy_pack">
 142 the Free Software Directory's Privacy Pack</a> and <a
 143 href="https://prism-break.org">prism-break.org</a>.</p>
 144
 145 <p>If you are using Windows, Mac OS or any other proprietary operating
 146 system, we recommend you switch to a free software operating system like
 147 GNU/Linux. This will make it much harder for attackers to enter your computer
 148 through hidden back doors. Check out the Free Software Foundation's <a
 149 href="http://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html">endorsed versions of
 150 GNU/Linux.</a></p>

 159 <h3>Optional: Add more email protection with Tor</h3>
 160
 161 <p><a href="https://www.torproject.org/about/overview.html.en">The Onion Router
 162 (Tor) network</a> wraps Internet communication in multiple layers of encryption
 163 and bounces it around the world several times. When used properly, Tor confuses
 164 surveillance field agents and the global surveillance apparatus alike. Using
 165 it simultaneously with GnuPG's encryption will give you the best results.</p>
 166
 167 <p>To have your email program send and receive email over Tor, install the <a
 168 href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/torbirdy/">Torbirdy
 169 plugin</a> the same way you installed Enigmail, by searching for it through
 170 Add-ons.</p>
 171
 172 <p>Before beginning to check your email over Tor, make sure you understand <a
 173 href="https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#WhatProtectionsDoesTorProvide">
 174 the security tradeoffs involved</a>. This <a
 175 href="https://www.eff.org/pages/tor-and-https">infographic</a> from our
 176 friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation demonstrates how Tor keeps
 177 you secure.</p>
