Pobox VS Firefox Relay

I use pobox.com for email (I have my own domain); it's related to fastmail.com, and I'm very happy with it. It does cost $50 a year though, so maybe iCloud email would be a good choice. If you get iCloud+, you can use the enhanced security features. Source: over 2 years ago

I use pobox.comVery satisfied and it has a great web interface (IMAP available, too). Source: over 2 years ago

So far pobox.com is the only one not working. I have tried amazon and twitter, and of course reddit, and they seem to be working ok. Source: almost 3 years ago

I am behind a NAT64 and I just loaded https://www.pobox.com/ fine, so I would check that you do not have MTU blackhole issues. Clamp the MSS to lower in your router and see if that helps, particularly if you are using PPPoE. Try running "curl -Lv https://www.pobox.com/" in the command prompt and see what it says. Feel free to take a dump with Wireshark and filter it down with ipv6.addr == [IPv6 synthetic address... Source: almost 3 years ago

Firefox Relay is a handy assistant to at least stymie email tracking and is neatly integrated with the browser. The free tier gets you a few masked emails that forward to your actual inbox.

Firefox Relay is a great way to do that :) https://relay.firefox.com Integrating that with Monitor is pretty high on at least my personal wish list. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

> In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams? I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/ I guess there's also... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

My solution might be to use Mozilla's Relay for the email and Privacy.com for the credit card. https://relay.firefox.com/ https://privacy.com/ That won't stop the data collection but it should mitigate how useful it is. Maybe? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
