Using email more securely

  • Do not use public computers to access email with sensitive information.

  • If you are not in a safe neighbourhood, use a VPN or Tor anonymity network to encrypt traffic from the user machine to a safer network.

  • Use privacy-focused email services, and have at least two email addresses, one for private use, and one for public use, (and do not use your own name or other personal information)

  • GPG, PGP, SMEmail, can be used for end-to-end message encryption.
