Advanced privnote tips

Turn on ‘Burn after reading’ to have notes self-destruct immediately after being read rather than kept for 1 hour by default. Change link settings to disable forwarding (stops recipients sending the Privnote URL to others) and disable printing (stops note content being printed). Privnote URLs always have 10 random characters. Do not use any meaningful words or dates in your custom URLs. For ultimate privacy, use Privnote with VPN and the Tor browser when creating sensitive notes.
