Show HN: Secure cloud phone on your phone to protect your data
A remote cloud-based secure phone that doesn't leak your private data because it's not running in your phone.
Hi everyone! As a side project I have created something that I would like to ask you all to get your feedback and if that is something you would be interested in using.
It's a remote phone instance running in the cloud where I install and use all apps that may be leaking private data such as geolocation, activity time, microphone, gyroscope and what not. In principle its an Android instance which I access with VNC client from my iPhone. Everything on the server side is based on AOSP (Android Open Source), encrypted and in a Docker container with all of its security features. The only downside is that when I'm in a rural area the VNC can get laggy and it's pretty much unusable.
I was thinking about releasing it as a service to the general public for a small fee lets say $10/mo to cover the server cost and making some fancy integrations like Zadarma to use separate phone number, VPN to hide the server location, or a dedicated mobile app to optimize traffic data (VNC can be data-heavy).
What do you think? > or a dedicated mobile app to optimize traffic data (VNC can be data-heavy). You might also consider RDP; I believe it might be as easy as plugging in xrdp.
