    I use a unique email for every single service I sign up to. I’m that paranoid too, but privacy and cyber security are a very important things!

    If AnonAddy goes out of business, I can just take my domain, and all my aliases, to another service, such as SimpleLogin for example.

    How can you do that? I have hundreds of aliases, but they are all with SimpleLogin domains, if they’ll ever go out of business (good thing that they are part of the Proton galaxy now!) I’ll loose all of my accounts.

        Oh, I see, but that would defeat the anonymity since all the aliases would still point to me.

          Yes, you are correct.

          If you’re using your aliasing-service to “blend in the crowd”, just like how TOR works, you may not want to use a custom domain.

          For me, the purpose of AnonAddy is first, and foremost, to help me combat spam. Any privacy improving aspects I see as purely bonuses.

          I will use the shared domains from time to time though, if I consider the risks to be too high. This goes from posting an email in a public forum, to signing up for a particularly suspicious newsletter for one-time benefits.

          As always, you should take your own threat model in mind.
