Besides cryptography anonymous communication is also a hobby of mine, since the early cypherpunk days and I always look for new ways to archive that. I did recently some experiments with some well known wannabe anonymous email services and how to register with them anonymously, so that their security checks can be bypassed. Currently I focus on anonymous communications in combination with offline devices, to protect better against Pegasus, FinFisher and other crap. > Currently I use another free, anonymous e-mail service called TorBox which > does have SMTP/POP3 support for everyday communications, though that's > only viable for people operating within the TOR network as it's got no > clearweb support unlike secmail itself, which at the end of the day is > kind of a useless thing anyways given it's blacklisted status (and that > completely without justification) among most every big and small e-mail > provider out there. Yes, blacklisting small providers is not nice, but at least users can purchase a cheap VPS server and run their own mail server, which adds decentralization to the email world.
