Mail

You have always suggested Protonmail, cockli and Tutanota or hosting it yourself.
But what about using an email on the webserver I subscribe to?
I bought a domain that is my lastname and the webserver has the email on it. Can I generally trust the hosting provider more since I directly pay for the space and computing power?
Why would they harvest data there, more than """free""" email service?

Well Protonmail subsidizes its free service with its paid service, rather than selling data or access to your email to god knows who. As I paid user I don't see this as wasted capitol because free services can be an awesome advertiser to what you offer as a company.

I understand your point, so it seems reasonable to think its also private to have an email at the paid webhost service, because I paid for it so the data arent the product of monetization?
I also understand that protonmail specifically aims at secure emailing

>ProtonMail is a scam, much like Lavabit (although the nature of the scam differs). Lavabit at least had the decency to shut down once they realized their claims were fraudulent, once the government told them how they lied and that they would like to take advantage of those lies please.
>They deliver JavaScript to the browser to decrypt messages. While it's true that they don't have access to user messages for as long as they remain honest, that's a profoundly useless property to have. You can just be honest and not try to access messages, which is what Fastmail does. There's no point in handcuffing yourself and holding on to the key.
>As soon as a system administrator feels like accessing the messages (either out of curiosity / government order or because an unauthorized user gained administrative control), they can deliver modified JavaScript to the browser that sniffs the password and decrypted content and sends a copy somewhere. This is, very literally, "being able to decrypt data."
>The encrypted messages that are sent to non-ProtonMail users require visiting a ProtonMail website to decrypt the message, which has all of the security concerns as above. Furthermore, it's pushing the line of what counts as "email". Fastmail is clearly advertising themselves as an actual email service, where you send content over SMTP and it shows up in the recipient's email client. You can't do that with ProtonMail encrypted messages; the recipient gets a link to the content.

Nice comment from some random guy posted in 2014.

How is ProtonMail and their VPN?

did you know that protonmail routes all traffic through Mossad servers?

> non-ProtonMail users require visiting a ProtonMail website to decrypt the message
lololol
How can anybody seriously use that?

Max 150 emails on the free version ( daily limit ) to get you to upgrade to the paid version.

This claim is very interesting and clearly has verifiable data to back it up. Thanks for the post, user.
