Wow, a sane take!? I'm surprised that this popped up between all the anti-israel propaganda here on Lemmy.
I was really on-board of the idea of Lemmy in the beginning. It all made a lot of sense, and I felt like a part of the community.
But now it feels like its just an echo chamber of people, who seems to have very extreme beliefs.
It's starting to be clear that the whole "ML - Leninism Marxism" was actually a big part of Lemmy.
I'm a centrist, slightly leaning towards the left, but I don't feel like I truly belong in the demographic of Lemmy any longer. Reddit is starting to pull me back, and Boost still works, which only makes it harder to resist...
Old price: $20 - 136 kr.
New price: 175 kr. - $25.77
I'm sorry but what? You actually raised the price for us in Denmark?
Old cost was 20 USD, and now you're marking it at 25 USD.
You dont need the app at all. You can use Adguard's DNS server, and have all ads blocked in all apps. Even sync.
Yes, that is a core aspect of how these "aliasing services" work.
You are able to simply hit the "reply" button, in which ever email provider the emails are routed to, and whatever you write will be delivered exactly like that to the person who sent you an email. From their perspective everything will look exactly as if they were talking to a regular email address.
This is a feature of both AnonAddy and SimpleLogin.
Regarding catch-all, that is basically also how I configured my usage of AnonAddy. Usually you would go and create a new alias, before you want to receive incoming mails on that address. All emails to aliases that are not already created will be dropped. But they also offer a, to me at least, superior version, where aliases are automatically created once the first email arrives on it.
This way you basically have a catch-all address, but with the benefits of being able to respond as all "identities", as well as toggle off individual ones if you start receiving spam. If you read below, avoiding spam is my ultimate goal with all of this. Your use-case may be different.
I have written a small add-on for Firefox, which will automatically generate a random forename.surname@domain.com for me, and create that alias in AnonAddy with the current URL as a note.
But yesterday I was checking in to a hotel, and the reception asked for an email, so I just typed hotel-name@domain.com, which will clearly indicate to me that it was created for that hotel only.
The downside to this is that it's easier to spot that it is indeed an alias address, but I'm also well aware of how spammers just buy active email-addresses in bulk, without caring about where the leaks come from, so I'm not too scared that it will stick out too much.
You shouldn't do stuff like facebook@domain.com or github@domain.com though. That's gonna stick out like a sore thumb.
Thanks? lol
You are very active in your own topic. Feels like you genuinely care.
Now let's switch the table, shall we? Which VPN do you use?
Yes, you are correct.
If you're using your aliasing-service to "blend in the crowd", just like how TOR works, you may not want to use a custom domain.
For me, the purpose of AnonAddy is first, and foremost, to help me combat spam. Any privacy improving aspects I see as purely bonuses.
I will use the shared domains from time to time though, if I consider the risks to be too high. This goes from posting an email in a public forum, to signing up for a particularly suspicious newsletter for one-time benefits.
As always, you should take your own threat model in mind.
Yes, correct.
I've done a lot of digging, and the only concern I've found is that the company is somehow connected to PureVPN.
I'm not paranoid, so for me this is fine. Take your own threat model into consideration.
Funnily enough, Ivacy knows basically nothing about me, since I bought the offer through a 3rd party site. I have nothing registered on my Ivacy account, aside from my email and password.

Got a lifetime deal for 30 bucks.
