Protect Your Privacy 🛡 Wonder Tools

Simple ways to stay private and safe

Welcome! In this Wonder Tools post I’m sharing security tips. You can use the tools noted here as your simple, low-cost privacy toolkit.

The resources in this post come recommended by software engineer Rahul Chowdhury, who I collaborated with on this post. Rahul writes Hulry, a weekly newsletter I like. Rahul recommends the following privacy tools:

• Use Burner Mail for disposable email addresses

• Use NextDNS and Outline VPN to protect your Web privacy

What these service help you to avoid

• Stop apps from tracking your online behavior to blast you with targeted advertisements wherever you go online

• Prevent spammers bombarding you with unwanted emails

• Keep companies from pinpointing your location and selling data about your personal behavior

📧 Burner Mail — Protect Your Email Address

Burner Mail provides you with disposable email addresses. They expire whenever you want.

📩 Why you need this

Shady companies harvest email addresses to blast you with marketing spam. That clutters up your inbox, reducing your productivity. In some cases, they can pair your email address with other info online, further comprising your security.

With Burner Mail, you can create random email addresses like hulry.4mb54a@nicoric.com. Your disposable account forwards incoming email to your preferred inbox without giving the sender access to your actual address.
