Ask HN: What's your email setup?

I use ProtonMail, and tell people that if they care about secure email, they should too.

I looked in to other services, like FastMail, but from what I've seen, they aren't as secure. I'm no security master, but according to these:

https://www.fastmail.com/about/privacy.html

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/07/australia...

FastMail is subject to the Australian government, so if a "properly authorised Australian law enforcement" person comes, there goes your privacy.

Do others use ProtonMail? Or is there another email service that's as secure? I'm no master, just trying to go after security. However, email is email, so you can only be so secure, especially when emailing people with gmail accounts, etc.

Protonmail when under DDOS attacks routes their traffic through servers owned by mossad. Which again is an "observer" in the global five eyes surveillance network

It's BGP routing, and requests only (not responses). Radware, which is not Mossad, does not do our TLS termination--we do.

The “security as in Swiss” concept ProtonMail uses is a marketing tactic. ProtonMail is a US company. Do some research on the Patriot Act, Liberty Act and the omnibus rider passed in DEC2015.

ProtonMail is not a US company.
