  • Yes. I host my own using Mailu.io. With the proper records, you will be able to send emails to any big email provider (proton, gmail, outlook). You need to pick a good TLD (.com, .net, .org, etc) so you don’t get your email thrown into the spam folder immediately.

    If you buy a domain now, you will probably get on the Spamhaus blacklist, which every big email service seems to use (again, proton, gmail, outlook, and probably others), so you will need to wait a few months and keep a good spam record (well, don’t send spam emails obviously and keep your email server with the proper configurations).

    Also, pick a good VPS provider (No vultr, no linode) with low levels of abuse, because if you setup your email server in an IP range with a lot of abusers, you may get your email flagged. (You can check that using https://www.uceprotect.net/en/rblcheck.php, but I’m not sure if uceprotect is trustable).

















  • Not a response, but I used to use taikscale with my own headscale server without problems but for some reason it just started to fail (I didn’t even updated tailscake nor headscake at all) and the speeds with direct connection were some unbelievable 0.00Mbps over direct connection.

    I searched for another MeshVPN and I found something called NetMaker, you can Selfhosted it too and it works really well. The speed is better than Taikscale too because it uses kernel wireguard instead of user space. They still lack some features like an Android client but I don’t care. I just want to connect servers securely. It’s pretty new software so it can have some bugs.

    Changing the IP constantly is not going to prevent tracking on modern websites. They all use other methods to identify you like browser fingerprint and other ways to fingerprint you.

    I don’t know why VPN providers promote themselves as like they are going to make your connection more private, everything is already encrypted (except DNS). You are just shifting the trust from your ISP to the people that run the VPN.

    If you are in a country with a high rate of censorship or you just want to circumvent geo blocking, using a VPN is worth, otherwise, a VPN is just a way to change your IP address which, is not going to prevent any tracking.
