A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

I have a domain and I use email aliases, they're addresses that redirect everything they receive to another address. That way you could for example redirect all emails from John@Doe.com to John.doe@proton.com
When you send emails from John.doe@proton.com, if you want to show the alias' address as the sender, your provider must have support for identities, many do, Gmail does, proton I don't remember.
Btw you don't PURCHASE a domain, you rent it. Usually the basic plans can include limited hosting space for a website, and actual e-mail accounts with storage, but while most also offer webmail portals, they aren't as good an experience as Gmail.
Yes, thanks alot, proton does offer email aliases aswell.
