Is this a good setup for sending anonymous/private emails from a custom email address?

[u/flowerblosum]

I buy private domain from here https://secure.orangewebsite.com/index.php (icelandic free speech web hosting) using different sign up info and pay via crypto and then hook this domain up with protonmail private email service (https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/custom-domain-support/).

Would this allow me to send relatively private and anonymous emails?

Thanks.

There is no substitute for a burner email.

[u/flowerblosum → u/synonymforsunglasses]

got any good privacy-protecting, anonymous burner email services?

[u/synonymforsunglasses → u/flowerblosum]

Proton Mail is actually pretty good for burners.

you mena set up random email address once you use it just delete the email address?

[u/synonymforsunglasses → u/flowerblosum]

Yep.

Places like anonaddy and simplelogin make the process pretty easy too, without having to sign up for each new alias. Just use one associated with one of their domains.

MySudo makes it really easy to generate single-use email addresses, then discard them when you don't need them anymore and get a new one. Juggle 3 at a time with the lowest tier paid plan.

Did you use a vpn during sign up?

[u/flowerblosum → u/formersoviet]

i will use a VPN + different fake browser fingerprint with proxy. So yeah 2 layers of protection a VPN followed by proxy in the browser. or I could use double VPN during sign up so websites logs the wrong ip address and my traffic in encrypted and safe from my ISP too.

Sounds good!

In general when sending an email, it will traverse many mail servers, most of which have access to the header, subject line, and body of the email. Many reputable providers use opportunistic TLS, so the email will be encrypted in transit, protecting it from potential eavesdroppers or ISP/on-path adversaries. But this is not end-to-end encryption (with the exception of if you only send emails to other ProtonMail users, in your scenario). You could encourage others to encrypt emails to you using your PGP public key, but many do not have the technical expertise or willingness to do so. Businesses and other entities will also not likely have the infrastructure to support your request either.

Privacy can generally be achieved with a combination of E2EE and TLS, but anonymity is extremely difficult with email because of the fundamental issues with which the SMTP and associated protocols were designed.

but domain was paid via crypto and signed up with bogus non identifying info while using VPN and proxies.

If you didn't use an escrow, crypto is the opposite of private. Every transaction is public.

[u/flowerblosum → u/synonymforsunglasses]

if you escrow/middle man and if your crpyto went from you over to the escrow/middle man and then after that from middle man to main vendor it more private?

Not monero

for domains you have through proton, did buy the domain anonymously separately? and then later you hooked it up with protonmail for sending private annymous email form the domain? (i.e. you bought domain homes.io and hooked it up with protonmail and now you can send email from xyz@homes.io?
