One of the privacy benefits not mentioned in the guide is that you can run two separate profiles in Calyx that are segregated.

You can then keep a "personal" profile that includes data and contacts etc. And a "work" profile that has apps that you want to keep restricted which cannot access the personal profile.

You can then run two VPNs at the same time one in each profile. This is useful if want to run Orbot perminantly in one profile.

Then using something like self hosted Nextcloud or Syncthing (both on Start9 Embassy) you can back up your data / photos etc to your own server rather than a cloud provider.

Yeah the guide does need an update. Also I don't think you can run a separate VPN profile, Orbot might would, but you can't have two mullvad/proton instances running on the same device in my experience.

Ive got it running now. One VPN on each profile with no issues.

Which clients are you using if you don't mind me asking?

Calyx VPN and Proton VPN.

Normally run Orbot instead of Calyx though.

You have them one in each profile?

I'm using Shelter app to create the different profiles as I did it before you could do it natively. Not sure if that could be a reason.

Yep, one in main profile and another in work. Weird.
