* To learn about PGP and encrypted email, and how to use it, read this guide. Also, please note that using PGP is notoriously cumbersome and easy to get wrong. Unless your threat model requies it, I recommend contacting me via Signal, or the other chat apps listed above.

I recommend you use Tor when sending any sensitive email. And you might want to consider using an anonymous email account as well. Encrypting your email to me simply obfuscates the content of the message, it doesn’t anonymize our communication. Using Tor, you can better hide your trails.

This tutorial will show you how to do it and why this is important.
