Just opening discussion, haha!

I mean if non-proton conversation isn’t allowed, I’m just comparing, haha lol!

Okay seriously though.

The three services I’m exploring are:

  • Email (with email aliases)
  • VPN
  • Cloud Storage
  • LittleBobbyTables@lemmy.sdf.org

    In regards to email aliasing services, addy.io is the only one I know of other than SimpleLogin, which is owned by Proton AG–so if you want to get away from Proton, SimpleLogin isn’t an option. Both of these services are recommended on privacyguides.org.

    Some email services allow you to use a domain you own, which theoretically should give you unlimited aliases to work with, but may not be as privacy-focused as the email address is only as anonymous as your registered domain.

    Personally, I prefer the ‘pseudonymous’ aliases that addy.io and Proton Pass give (it’s usually something like random.words123@passmail.net in the case of Proton).

    If anyone has good experiences with other aliasing services that provide this option, please let us know.

      How about just a mail service with a catch-all option? If you send an email to my domain that doesn’t match any of my known addresses, it ends up in a catch-all box. That box order deletes mail every month and I just check it when I need it.
