You must be joking mate: "Protonmail"! Protonmail is by CERN SwiSSyland, which is like taking a secret SwiSS bank account, and while it's secret and nobody knows except them and you, they have a good option for the most perfect crime and kill you, which SwiSSy has already performed once during the Nazi era harvesting millions of SwiSS secret bank accounts of people, who had been processed through the Nazi concentration camps. Watch the 18 hour pentalogy "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil" on channel Giureh; but you must scroll down in the video section, because UA-cam/Google is hiding this series, as they don't want you to see it in order to keep up the Clean & Neutral SwiSSyland myth.

You, sir, reply to posted questions which is great as you tubers, usually, don’t do that with the frequency you do and for that hats off to you. 😀
I do my best! I can’t get them all, though 😎
Learned a lots of things from your channel. Thumbs up for the great work x
Great idea! Thanks for your sound advice. Once I decide which to choose, I'll come back for your affiliate link. Cheers & be blessed! 🕊
Appreciate it, Disa!
Thank you for your insightful idea. I just bumped into your channel and found very helpful. So subscribed.
Super helpful video! Thanks for being simple and concise!
Glad it was helpful, Greg!
Same reason: I want any financial emails to be more secure. Thanks for this video. It's been really helpful.

Thank you so much I’ve been just stressed out about all the data leeks, Bluetooth, WiFi leaks. I’m a new developer, and really that’s all I want to think about. However using public WiFi, WAMP servers, Visual Basic….I feel like I’m placing my device at risk. I purchased an inexpensive computer just for coding but I still have to sign into my personal accounts. The classes I’ve been taking just don’t cover the networking security issues. This is getting overwhelming beyond belief. It makes me want to find a different “new”career.
I hope these videos can be helpful and not overwhelming!
This is great! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for secure email providers that gives you the ability to set up U2F. In your research do any of those 3 provide such functionality? Also did you look at other providers such as Fastmail and Hey?
Protonmail works with U2F. See Yubikey as an example: www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/protonmail/
As for Hey, that's not really a secure email provider, more of a "new email" type product. I'm not very familiar with Fastmail, so I'd have to look at that more.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks for your comment! It looks like proton mail doesn’t support U2F to this date. Only TOTP. As far as Hey, it seems that they don’t offer strong end to end encryption as proton mail.
Very helpful! I’ve been lucky so far and haven’t had my Gmail hacked however, it’s probably just a matter of time so I’m gonna do something now.
Fantastic! Great explanation...just what I've been searching for. Thank you!
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! I hope you’ll subscribe 😎
What about conversation view? Which alternative can do this? I generally miss the comparison to Gmail.
I've used Proton mail for years, and love their VPN too.
thank you for the review, so clear, I have your same way of thinking, and I was wondering, recepientes should use protonmail as well? And if so, how do you send to them the encripted password to open your emails? The encryption part is not very clear to me. Sorry and thank you!
I think you’ll find this video will answer your question: ua-cam.com/video/fcbf6PzVBBc/v-deo.html
Solid video. Question for you are you aware of any program that houses documents like a Google share but require the other party attempting to access the files to have to pay or have a passphrase to access the documents?
ProtonDrive does that for ProtonMail.
‼️ Excellent choices. I choose to use the secondary email solely for security web site type purposes with the phone alert chime on at all times.
Thanks for this video! would you recommend proton mail for youtube account?
I don't see why not.
Thanks for the great work, I have found a new internet security guru in you! I have a question for you. On dual email philosophy where you use mail forwarding to forward all sensitive email communication (e.g. OTPs from banks, 2FA codes) from public email to the secure email, I like the convenience of looking at only the important emails. However, if the public email gets hacked, can't the hacker stop the mail forwarding to secure email and start getting the new OTPs, codes etc. How do we protect against that?
You would need to eventually move your sensitive emails to go directly to your proton email account by contacting the sender and providing them your proton email address.
sir what do you think about zoho mail ? is it secure ? please answer
I've run dual emails for the past 2 years. Gmail & Proton.
Thank you.
Neat, very similar to how I have things set up!
Great! Nice work.
It is not too late to batten up. Thank you, Josh, for the protonmail advice!
My pleasure, Tim!
Great job, thank you! Happy protonmail user now ;-)
Awesome!
Thanks
I have an old SBC email account now owned by ATT but handled by the Yahoo platform. I use Outlook 2007 and leave nothing on the server that I am aware of. All my archived stuff is on my HD and Backup. Is that true?
Sir, what are your thoughts on Orbot for Android? Is it good and safe to use? Can you pls do a video about it
I've never used Orbot before, but if it's based on Tor, I can safely guess how it works. I might try to do a video on it but I'm not a bit Android guy.
@@AllThingsSecured thanks for the reply. Your videos are great. Waiting for your video on Orbot. Cheers.
Isn't a better solution to send any sensitive information to a secure server from which the recipient must sign up and also have an account to receive it? This would allow browser encryption to work end to end. Keep the email limited to non-sensitive communication, referring the recipient to the secure server when the need arises.
Love your information having trouble with finding tne like button
Could the proton mail be used for banking and investment services?
Yes, it can!
I have been using Proton mail for almost two months and like the email and calendar functions. I have found that support is very slow - likely having a hard time with staffing.
I have a concern with the contacts function on my android phone. My telephone app does not have access to Proton Contacts. So when I add a contact to Proton Contacts, my phone app can't see it and therefore will not display the callers name, etc. when they call. So I am having to maintain contacts in a separate application in parallel to Proton Contacts. Proton encrypts contacts and does not provide a sync function. Don't know if they ever will. So I am looking for another secure email/calendar/contacts app that will allow accessible contacts on my Android phone.
Any options out there? FYI - I run a firewall program.
What are your thoughts about the security of Apple's Mail program?
Apple offers secure iCloud solutions, but their email isn't end-to-end encrypted either. I believe they also don't encrypt data stored on IMAP mail servers. It's great for everyday communication, but I would still recommend a secure email for banking, investments and secure communication.
I wonder if you'd be kind enough to clarify something I don't understand?
When you talk about forwarding mail from Gmail, or similar, to a more secure service surely that is bolting the stable door after the horse has gone isn't it?
If it originally came into Gmail then it's already on their servers so the security/privacy has already gone. Have I missed something?
I do like the idea of a secure email for certain things and non secure for day to day - thanks for that suggestion:)
It can go a couple different ways. The way I have it set up, my secure email send me a notification when a new email arrives (it doesn't forward the actual email, so the secure emails never hit Google servers). I have to log into my secure email, ProtonMail, to access those emails.
The second way is to migrate completely over to a secure email address. And yes, in that case if you just set to "forward", all those forwarded Gmail emails will still be on Google's servers. You could set a filter that will forward and then delete all email coming in, but there's still risk.
How can you mail-forward some of the emails that you mention to a secure email provider?
Go into your email settings for the other email account and set a filter or a rule to forward emails to the new secure account.
I want to Echo the comments Artemis stated. Question Is there a way to link the proton mail account to my mac mail app? I don't really like having to use my browser to access my mail accounts.
I’m sure there’s a way, but once you do that, you void any privacy benefits you get from a service like ProtonMail (or any privacy-focused email provider). Once you download your email onto your own computer and start using that as your primary email sending hub, all security and privacy is on your shoulders.
IM A LITTLE SLOW. BUT TRYING TO GET MY WIFE GOING IN A DIRECTION IS LIKE TRYING TO MOVE THREE THOUSAND POUND RHINO INTO A LITTE CAGE. SO MY STRUGGLE NOW I HAVE THREE HACKS AT DIFFERENT LEVELS. GREAT VIDEO. IM GOUNG TO ASK PROTON MAIL TO USE YOUR VIDEO AS A LEARNING CURVE FOR BIG RHINO. THANKS HELPFUL VERY HELPFUL.
I've used PGP for years. Sadly it requires the person I'm sending to to use it.
One thing I didn't understand, apologies if it is very obvious, say I start proton mail for my finances, accountant, bank etc I would need giving that out, won't that new email eventually be made available?
No need to apologize: good question. For me, the *only* place I use my secure email is with my bank, investment accounts and for any sensitive emails I need to send (such as one that has my social security number). If those are the only places I use it, there’s a low probability that it will be leaked. What’s more important, though, is if somebody were to gain access to my day-to-day email that is readily available, they won’t have instant access to my finances or secure communications. This is the more likely scenario.
@@AllThingsSecured I get it. Recently someone keeps tying to access my gmail as I get code verifications from google at the middle of the night, of course I ignore them and nothing has happened but it is concerning. Thanks for making it clear to me. :)
@@electronicbagatelle if you change your password that won't happen anymore
Side note proton now offers a secure backup like google drive, dropbox, ect. It's called proton drive
Yup! I'm testing that out right now. Thanks for the update, Matt.
@@AllThingsSecured yeah I like it. They are soon to come out with a suite like docs, excel, ect soon too. They really have grown
what 2step verification works with proton?
Any of them, but I recommend a 2FA key.
I do laundry for a Mexican Cartel, i need to have my ish encrypted so the federales don't sneak up on us!
Thank you
My pleasure.
Hi, what about Telegram encryption? Thanks
Telegram has great encryption, but it's a messaging app, so I don't really consider it an "alternative to Gmail" here.
What about Eprivo Encrypted Email? Any comments would be appreciated. This app has been out for a while now - but why no reviews on it. It sure looks pretty good and secure and has some good features…
I use proton mail and it is way better than the other listed. Well IMO
Yea, it’s my personal preference as well.
Proton Mail does give a users data when presented with a warrant. Double encryption using an OTP system means warrants deliver meaningless code.
Protonmail is dope!
I like it!
I'm really not computer savvy and I'm not sure what or how to transfer my emails that are important to a private email, can you walk me through each step? I'm scared I have information for my mother and I just want it safe.
In fact I have no idea what or where this email came from wtf? I'm so confused.
I'm option is Microsoft mail & yahoo mail.
In order not to worry about blocking and surveillance, you can safely communicate in the Utopia ecosystem. Anonymity is guaranteed. No phone or email is required for registration.
If I make a ProtonMail account. Let's say I wanna make a Twitter account, Facebook account, Snapchat account, would I be able to use my ProtonMail email for registration?
Absolutely you can.
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks for letting me know!
As a work around I opened 5 separate emails.... Yeah that didn't work either. On guard duty I just the other night opened my UA-cam and hit my personal info and found that my UA-cam someone changed where notifications were going and the UA-cam user name had ever so slightly at a quick glance I didn't notice. So honestly it could have been like that for months. So I'm going with Proton email, VPN, and mobile app. For veterans they give a reduction I think double check me but I think it works out to the second level is free. But after being hacked now with the UA-cam user name being changed. The real question is what is safe or what hasn't been hacked. For a 63 yr old guy I do t think as quickly as I once did so the thought of moving everything is overwhelming. Sounds like a new business line for someone to help set these up. But there again I wouldn't trust my own mom any more. So I hope that this book of a comment helps some.. DON'T put it off. It doesn't become easier just more mucked up. Thanks
Have only just come across your channel, but found this episode very helpful 👍
For many years (~20yrs) I have been using a duplicate domain for all signups (eg. Amazon@domain..., eBay@domain..., Netflix@domain...) together with a catchall email address.
I then have a separate (private) email address for just family, close friends and more sensitive emails (financial, legal, medical etc.)
This has worked well, and helped quickly identify some companies that have either been hacked or sold on my email to spammers.
However in recent years, with tighter email authentication being introduced - I have found SENDING emails (using email aliases) increasingly difficult.
Do you know of any company offering this sort of service?
Hippa is a bit more involved than that. :)
How does proton mail Fund itself. Their website says they’ve invested heavily in security. How did they find that investment, what’s the deal here, while helpful you left out a huge part of the equation. Always follow the money please.
Proton mail doesn't actually give you "total" control over your privacy, They still collect some metadata from you, and if your sending to an email account, whereby the user doesn't have an associated PGP key it's not encrypted.
I think having the ability to send end-to-end encrypted email regardless of the receiving email inbox is a lot of control. Also, a lot of what you’re saying is true of every single email provider, so I’m not sure how pointing that out is any negative against Proton?
@@AllThingsSecured what do you mean by a lot of what hes saying? what exactly?

That's a bummer. Have you tried ProtonMail instead?
wtf

i mean WTF !!!!
how about fastmail interface is very clean
Never used it before.
only reason for me making a new email is so i don’t get as much spam on my main email I get like 900 emails a day it’s ridiculous so i just want a clean slate move all my apps onto a new email what would you recommend.
Yikes! That a lot of spam! For general email, I still enjoy Gmail and then I use ProtonMail for secure email and finance stuff (banking, investments, etc.). If you want to get off of gmail, then I still like ProtonMail as a full-time alternative.
@@AllThingsSecured so can you use proton mail as a general email or is it not worth it.
Absolutely you can! Most people aren’t wanting to abandon their current email address like you are, so most of the time I recommend it as an additional email address. But it can work well as your full time account too.
@@AllThingsSecured Okay Thank you
@@AllThingsSecured I’m having issues adding proton mail account to apple mail app on iPhone don’t work.🤔
does Gmail offer 2 factor authentication? or is this feature available only in some countries?
Yes, Google offers 2FA for all apps (including Gmail) all across the globe.

You have not mentioned Thunderbird? Is it not free? Is it not secure enough? Can anyone reply me?
Thunderbird is not an email provider, it's simply an email software. So it's completely different.
Interdomain email is still being read by providers. If you want to be secure you gotta send proton to proton. Even then who knows about proton, what if its owned by CIA?!
Not quite. When sending an end-to-end encrypted email from something like Proton - even when sent to a Gmail address - it cannot be read by Google or Proton.
I am still waiting for our collab😁
Thanks for the offer! Perhaps in the future, but right now I'm pretty busy with a number of other projects. Great work on your UA-cam channel, though!
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks. No problem
Do you know anything about GMX??
Heard of it, but I've never used it before.
@@AllThingsSecured Is it a good idea to use your name in your email address? Not a tech person! Just trying to learn!
Thoughts on Hey?
I have friends who use it, but I don’t think it’s being marketed as a secure email, just a better way of doing email. Right?
Is it okay to use your name in your email address??
I use a secondary email for all my illegal activities.
If ProtonMail is free, how do they make money?
Freemium. There is limited storage and limited features with the free version until you upgrade.
Which one are you using?
I use ProtonMail now for my secure email, although I still have a couple Gmail accounts.
Cause some Russian keeps hacking into Facebook and email account , and soon I change password they still hack again
ProtonMail logged IP address of French activist after order by Swiss authorities; ProtonMail removed “we do not keep any IP logs” from its privacy policy...hmmm I'll keep looking
email headers are in the clear and can't be encrypted

Why not mentioned Zoho?
Haven’t used it. I have mixed feelings about Zoho.

But it is secured for sure
Proton is a good honey pot
The question is, is there such thing as real and true privacy?
Good point. But even if the answer is “no”, that shouldn’t stop us from pursuing better privacy and security.
I’ve had Proton mail for a year and a half to be used specifically for the purposes described in this video, however during the 2020 Presidential Election I started receiving political party voting and donation solicitations from both the GOP and the Democrats which was not of my own doing! Therefore, how secure is “secure” really? 😏. QUESTION EVERYTHING: What Is The Truth (WITT)??? 🤔. GYHOOYA: OYE!!! 😡
come oonnnnnnnn there needs too be a free option too many of us that are not finaced for this stuff man i am paying xbox gold and buying games on steam and online . so i am paying for other things . i dont have time too pay for mail member shit i hate this . i wish there was a free options for use lesser people that dont want too pay for email protection think of us normal people
Hold up you do Bible memory and security stuff lol
I do! 😂😂
No disrespect to anyone But My question who do use and trust that is the question everyone saids to use this one or that one you can see it all over UA-cam and they basically give their opions on the best email providers .that will protect you and your personal or business emails ... But you do not know personally what these people are doing behind the scences Just taking them at their words anyone can put or say anything on a sales page or in video .. ...until the rubber hits the road a matter of speaking Coz the way things are Now .. you do not know who to trust and if you tried one of them and get messed over then it is your fault for believing them ...would you not say?? Most of them are after conmissions
Now it is over confusing coz if one is bad how do you know ? unless you try one them and if works for you stay with it ... One day there will be no options and basically all this happen coz of the stupid leader we have leading the country this is where the real blame is And we have to do everything we can to protect what we supposed to own But basically we do not own nothing We came in the world with nothing and we will leave with Nothing except what is in our Hearts
I have drug addicts who buy and sell drugs who live next door. I use security cameras .
protonVPN, protonmaiL, protondrive, they're tracking you, reading your e-maiL, reading the digitaL data, sharing your data to 3rd party and governments.

Yea, that's a good use of a secure email address.
I don’t trust Big Tech even though I don’t necessarily disagree with them from a political standpoint. I still don’t want them snooping through my data.
