Is this an ad or promotion ?😨😱
Just good information to know
I guess you can called a promotion since its related to Black Friday. There are no affiliate links.
I only see 33% off bf deals on Proton’s website. Am I missing something?
https://protonvpn.com/blackfriday Is the “VPN Plus” deals
https://proton.me/mail/black-friday The big package is 33%
I see, thanks. Just a bit confusing on the wording.
Only one Proton product is steeply discounted in tiers: the VPN. For 2.5 years it’s 60% off, 1.5 years 52%, and one month is 10%.
Everything else is 33% off for 1 year.
I still can’t believe SimpleLogin sells what AnonAddy, DuckDuckGo, etc give away for free:
Unlimited masked email addresses, instead of limiting you to just 10.
But hey, it’s part of the Proton all-in-one deal, so I guess Proton can use it to pad the perceived value of their monthly bundle price.
Depends how you use it really… Like Addy.io has like limited bandwidth, while simplelogin doesnt.
Don’t simple login have a free version also?

Yes, and it is very feature complete. It’s what I use.
The paid plans are largely just a way to support development, but specifically it allows you to use custom domains, not just automatically generated ones. There’s some other benefits like PGP and wildcard domains, but the custom domains seems like the biggest draw to a paid plan in my book.
I hate to break it to you, but free SimpleLogin limits you to 10 aliases, versus the three I mentioned which have unlimited aliases for free. If you have to start doubling up usage of aliases, I would consider that not feature complete at all. (Cc @wagoner@infosec.pub)
In addition: Proton is a for-profit company; you aren’t donating, your subscribing to a product.
Don’t worry, you’re not breaking it to me 😄. I’ve never found the need for more than 10 aliases myself and I could be wrong but I think that needing more than 10 functioning aliases at a given time is a bit of a fringe case when it comes to the average user. It sounds like your comments are based on pretty heavy usage.
I’m not saying that Simple Login is better than the other two services (which I’ve never used so can’t compare) However, from using the free tier of the service for years now the free version of Simple Login is feature complete and does not make you bump in to pay walls.
If you use more than 10 services, I’d recommend using more than 10 aliases! Otherwise, you have to start juggling aliases and worrying about which ones are connected to what…

Also, Adguard lifetime subscriptions are often dirt cheap on Stacksocial.
