I used to use GoDaddy email. Last year anyone I tried to reach that had a Gmail address bounced back to me as undeliverable.
Because I was one of the first kicked off of the internet before it was cool in 2005 I was used to the censorship. I was kicked off of AOL which was our entire internet service at the time, in not a social media platform. I was kicked off for working on Election fraud and with whistleblower Clint Curtis. I would be kicked off the other social platforms in the future for the same topic including human trafficking.
That is when I was set up on GoDaddy and had an IT specialist handle my account.
When I kept getting rejections from Gmail users who wanted to receive my email, I contacted him and he went to Go Daddy.
He was told Google Mail was going after GoDaddy to add encryption that would allow the same type of censorship. Go Daddy said no! However they had to put in their own encryption software for users to bypass the BS. That is why GoDaddy now charges and no longer has a free account. The smallest account is far more expensive than any email service. What a shame.
So I moved everything over to Proton where I can freely email everyone who wishes to receive my email. I work with Patriots and kept telling them get a different email service you are not hearing from me because I'm not allowed to contact you while they thought I was dead!
I can't believe how lazy they are because they just love keeping 900 emails in their inbox for free. It is not free!
So I made the move so they can continue receiving the information they need to work with the rest of us. Gmail has been such a pain in the ass I wanted to share this.
Thank you so much.
Can I ask you if hotmail is the same because I am getting bounce back from hotmail so much I went to others. I just recently got on proton.
Another good reason to run your own DNS and possibly get a VPN......although, I wouldn't get a commercial VPN, I would rent a seedbox or other virtual server from a service in a country with no blocking, and set up your own VPN to that.....
I use nord. I am not so techie that I can do that. Not everyone could.
The reason i suggest to do it this way is you have control over all points. You dont have to worry about whether you trust a company or not with regards to the vpn. The seed box or virtual server would still need to be contracted though, but there's plenty of them that you can purchase anonymously.
I understand it seems like a daunting task, but there are instruction sets out there that show you how to do it.
Besides that, i feel like if more people began to learn about techy stuff and had a better understanding of how it works and what limitations it has, people wouldn't get taken advantage of by various companies as much, and users would retain a lot more privacy thru good habits.
Everything seems complicated and opaque until you understand it, at which point it seems simple...
I will look into it. Thanks.
I tested it. It's true.
