    Got a source for that? Proton isn’t able to access to any user emails. I believe Swiss law also makes it illegal for them to provide user information without a (Swiss) court order.

    The only case I’ve heard of that was similar was when the Swiss court ordered them to provide all the info they had on a user. This was the last IP address they logged on from and a recovery email the user had entered. The recovery email is an optional thing the user had set up on their account. They also used this same email address to sign up for a Twitter account. They were able to get enough data from Twitter to identify the person.





  • One thing to note is that SimpleLgoin (haven’t used AnonDady) is that it can generate different kinds of aliases.

    One option allows you to specify the part of the email before the @. These will all use a common randomly generated sub domain. As these subdomains are assigned to individual users, you can correlate two aliases to the same user. It’s probably not picked us as easily as an exact match, but far from impossible.

    Simple login does have the option to generate completely random emails which don’t use a common subdomain. This mixes your usage with every other user of the service.


  • This is pretty similar to my setup except for using a Valve Steam Link over the nVidia Shield. PS5 controllers connected to Steam Link. Steam Link connects to my desktop (over lan, previously PoE worked well). It works quite well overall. A small number of games seem to have issues with being streamed, but they’re pretty few and far between.
