Simple Login - help (?) (endlesstalk.org)

So, since the recent news of Proton, im kinda thinking to get over off it... my problem however is with simple login. Simple Login belongs to Proton and this service is such a incredibly peace of art for me. This would me allow to create alias for every software i use, and use too for my health care - specific alias create with simplelogin - and bank - same thing.

I create this method to separate things from my inbox and this help me to be prepare if some leak from dark web happens.

The main problem is that Simple Login belongs to Proton. I can switch email provider, and that is easy, but change all my alias now is incredibly a nightmare. Anyone have some suggestions on what to do now?

I remember see people/communitys self host Simple Login ( for example, like private.coffee , tchncs.de or nomagic.uk do but for other services they plan) and im totally fine to donate who do that. I just dont know what im doing now... and SimpleLogin is the one i find, for example, to create a alias for services like discord (for example, i remember discord dont accept anon addy domains).

Thank you in advance

I've had the same thoughts about Simplelogin, incredible service. Do you have a custom domain setup with it? If so, moving to self-host would be relatively easy. I don't have the time for that if something goes awry. If you have a custom domain with Simplelogin and switch email providers you can also do a catch-all until you can find a replacement, or with Tuta you can have unlimited custom domain addresses which gives you more control than a catch-all.

I also do not know the business model between Proton and Simplelogin, other than they have more access to infrastructure. Therefore a Simplelogin subscription alone will provide indirect funding to Proton, but I just don't want my funds going to Proton anymore. I'm moving to Tuta, but might need some time to think about the Simplelogin switch. Lastly, I've avoided Addy.io because its self-host is more involved to setup and I wasn't impressed with their service.
