Thanks for the response! I’m back to the drawing board and returning my Ledger hardware wallet because of some concerns with the product and company. Will probably go with Passport.

I’ll have to really look into the Joinmarket stuff, i’ve got a big learning curve with all this haha. Starting with a VPN might be a good idea either way though

Just take it one step at a time. I've got a lot to learn as well.

For VPNs I recommend Mullvad or IVPN. Orbit on phone is good. ProtonVPN is decent too, I think.

Passport and ColdCard seem to be the ones people like and recommend the most. The former is a bit friendlier to less advanced users, as I understand it.

For what it is worth, I don't know that Ledger is an issue on the hardware side. A number of things about the company's priorities and the closed source code are reasons for pause, but I haven't heard of any major privacy or security concerns regarding the hardware itself. Not yet anyway. Someone can fact check me on this.

I do not recommend people use their management software in any case, and instead use Sparrow to manage the wallet. BTC Sessions has a great tutorial on Sparrow as well.
