Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don’t have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I’ll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,
What’s up with Tutamail? I’ve been looking at switching my email over to something better, and I’ve been hearing Proton for a long time, but I don’t know enough to sway one way or the other.
Also, how hard is it to self host email?
Haven’t dived that deep yet, but who knows. Maybe I’ll get there eventually. I’ve heard good things about this book: https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/ryoms/
You also don’t need to do everything all at once. You can start by getting your own domain and configuring your mail service of choice to handle it. Then whenever you want to move to a different mail service or run your own, you maintain control over your addresses and just need to update your DNS.
Edit: Oh, completely forgot to talk about Proton/Tuta. I set up my stuff on Proton back in the day and recently set up Tuta for my partner. I might get around to swapping to Tuta for my stuff as well, I just haven’t bothered to yet.
One user in the instance I use went on that journey, setting up FreeBSD for his own email. I think there’s a very detailed comment from one of the big, weekly random threads in our instance, but I can’t remember when that happened (also, it’s in spanish, so you’d need to translate it if you manage to find it).
