1. Well, to be honest about this

It was possible to be somewhat off the grid several decades ago. Now trying to be off the grid is the easiest way to be sure someone(s) will be watching you. One of the funniest things that were being advertised [about 40 years ago] were ball caps with LED lights on the visor. The ad showed how cameras would see everyone's face, but with this off-the-grid ball cap all that would show was a blob of light! As is that wouldn't attract any attention.
So basically, your ideas of keeping a low profile are fine. Don't get involved. Don't attract any attention to yourself. Don't play the game. That's all fine. But please don't deceive yourself into thinking that 'living off the grid' is in any way possible.
