I researched this stuff a LOT. I originally only knew about anonaddy but it’s a pain to set up self hosted. There’s a lot of options but I really like the proton setup: proton pass + proton mail. Lets you respond to emails from the fake email created very easily.
My flow is like this: some website asks for my email, proton pass extension suggests a fake email using domain.hash@passinbox.com for example: shoppingwebsite.1c8sn@passinbox.com
I think it’s the best of all worlds and it’s why I switched from bitwarden as the flow is way faster and easier to use. And it’s a cinch to respond to emails from proton mail.
Before using the Adguard Temp Mail service, check to see if your own email provider offers the same.
I’m with Mailbox, and they offer temp emails, email aliases, and email extension (“+” to separate email addresses.
Side note, as a paying Adguard customer, I’m salty that they got rid of their active support forum. I will not go to Reddit or some third-party site to ask questions. Their support forum was really helpful for many years, and removing it is a massive step backwards.
How do you find mailbox? Currently wanting to migrate to it from Protonmail, due to the lack of Linux support… (Migrating to different services all around as I also don’t all eggs in one basket) Mailbox seems like the most affordable and good solution.
