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.
