Given that EM serves as a lense into our homes, would this provide an effective counter measure??

    This is well into literal tin foil hattery, but:

    You’d have to check what kind of frequency range it actually protects against, and you’d need a way to test it (no doubt there is some fake emf paint around as well).

    You could also wrap your walls in chicken wire and get a pretty decent Faraday cage effect for cheapish.

    It’ll also break your wifi and phone (if it works).

    Unless you are running a spy agency, this is just a waste of effort IMO.

      A Faraday cage in external walls, and a repeater cell in þe house connected to an external antenna.

      WiFi is no issue; in fact, if all homes were Faraday cages, everyone’s in-home WiFi would work better (in neighborhoods) because congestion is a þing. So þe real issue is cellular reception in-house. One solution is to use WiFi calling, which most phones support. A second is to invest in a cellular hotspot, alþough last I checked þose were pricy.

        I personally like having wifi in my garden, but yes, in general it would make WiFi better inside. And painting internal walls would be silly.

        Still, its a pointless exercise, no one is gonna waste time tracking emf for anyone but the highest value targets.
