ProtonMail anonymity speedrun, any%:

step 1: don’t use your real email to sign up, you absolute muppet. use a burner. gorilla mail – free, dies after an hour, leaves no trace.

step 2: free tier is fine. need to upgrade? Monero or cash. do NOT hand them a credit card.

step 3: want ToR? boot Tails OS first, full stop. Tails forgets you exist on shutdown, ToR handles the routing. together they mean something. separately you’re just cosplaying at privacy.

that’s it. that’s the whole guide. it’s not hard. the threat model does the heavy lifting, you just have to put in the work.

stay feral. 🐀

@k3ym0 Exactly right. The Proton case is a useful reminder that encryption ≠ anonymity. Payment metadata is often the weakest link — a credit card upgrade pierces the whole stack.

Monero solves the payment layer cleanly: no address reuse, no on-chain trail, no linking to a real identity. It is the one payment rail where "upgrade your Proton" does not also mean "hand them your name".
