Well good thing I just switched to mxroute
MXroute doesn’t cater to users who require end-to-end encryption, advanced privacy features, or those who need built-in security measures beyond standard email protocols, as it’s primarily focused on reliable email delivery and hosting rather than security-first communication.
Tuta would be a viable alternative to Proton.
No they don’t, but I never switched to proton for that. I switched to proton to get away from iCloud. I also never loved the idea of them keeping my gpg key in the cloud, I can just as easily do e2e with mxroute in a more secure way
Doesn’t exist. The only security you can have is if you use OpenPGP. Everything else is marketing and lies.
Came here to follow up with this.
I don’t care what magic beans my email provider wants to sell, at the end of the day they’re only able to do encryption within their own server which is pointless.
Anyone who thinks email is not immediately plain-text when they hit the send button (because, frankly, it is) is suffering from some weird marketing-induced delusion, or just plain doesn’t understand that proton encrypting something, or SSL in transit is not going to do a single damn thing to improve security.
Sure my copy of an email is all nice and secure, but the other copy of it almost certainly not, unless you use something like GPG to force the contents to be transmitted encrypted, and fucking nobody uses GPG outside of very limited situations.
Agreed. I also notice proton stores your gpg keys in the cloud, unlocked by your account password.
+1 to mxroute for anyone thinking about it.
Been using it for a while (and worked with the guy who runs it) and it’s been pretty much perfect.
