Topic: Ano ba ang ProtonMail at posibleng itulong sa tin sa pag secure ng email (Read 170 times)

I guess it also depends on the users. I hope everyone would understand the importance of having the control over your email completely unlike those email providers who show ads in your inbox and gives you the closest thing that you want or you have searched for in the search bar or something like that. Thank you for this info OP.

Sa tingin ko lang mahihirapan yung iba mag migrate and maintindihan yung mga bagay na medyo complicated (this is for non-technical or no interest with these kinds of things). Marami kasi akong nakikilala, sinasabi nila, oo gusto daw nila secure pero pag andyan na, wala na silang ginagawa about it. I hope yun talaga maintindihan nila when it comes to email or any thing that could concern your security. Parang yung mga sinusuggest ko sa iba na password manager, it's very helpful not only for techy persons but also for the non-techy ones, basically everybody.

We consider that ProtonMail is the best and secure than others, pero kahit ilan pang alternatives email account na gagamitin mo as long as there is enable for the 2FA for other layers of security then, your email account will be safe. Pero may nabasa ako na kailangan mo pang gamitin ang function of Protonmail to send encrypted messages to external users like Gmail users, yahoo mail or even thunderbird mail which is good if you are firefox browser. So, what if kung mag send ka ng message sa Gmail users? And Probably you need to do this. https://protonmail.com/support/knowledge-base/encrypt-for-outside-users/, at kusa itong ma delete with in the expiration date.

By the way, merong tayong 30 alternatives na pweding gamitin maliban sa ProtonMail.

Protonmail is not based in US, dun pa lang siguro medyo kumpyansa na tayo pagdating sa privacy 
Ang alam ko meron din silang VPN service. Isa sa pinakagusto ko ay yung pwede i-set yung email mo sa isang tao to self-destruct in xxx no. of days.

Good thread but I guess it's still every individual choice on what provider they'll get, basically Protonmail is really for better protection between our messages as it use end-to-end encryption at yung feature na self-destruct is what I like sa kanila. Still sa Gmail malakas naman rin yung security feature nila because they got 2FA enabled or yung backup email to rely whenever na ma compromised ang isang account. Mabisa pa rin talaga na lagi siguruhing secured ang accounts natin at always change passwords regularly or other feature for safety of our accounts.

Just a suggestion kung ang mga messages niyo ay for your personal security better to have protonmail as your provider but if you have nothing to hide wala namang masama sa Gmail AFAIK, just IMO.

To the readers, you can read this article as well in regards to whose better with security is it Gmail or Protonmail? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pa3ye7/protonmail-gmail-security-comparison

Ano ba ang Protonmail:

Bago natin pag usapan to, mahalagang malaman ng lahat na sa crypto-verse napakahalaga na dapat secure ang mga email natin. Dahil pag ito ang na compromise maaari tayong mawalan ng crypto na hawak natin. Meron namang 2FA na tinatawag, pero importante din na ang ginagamit nating email services o provider ay secure at private, so dito na pumapasok si protonmail:

ProtonMail is an end-to-end encrypted email service founded in 2014 at the CERN research facility by Andy Yen, Jason Stockman, and Wei Sun. ProtonMail uses client-side encryption to protect email contents and user data before they are sent to ProtonMail servers, unlike other common email providers such as Gmail and Outlook.com. The service can be accessed through a webmail client, the Tor network, or dedicated iOS and Android apps.

Ano-ano ba ang lamang ng protomail sa ibang free email provider katulad ng Google?

[1] Dahil ikaw lamang ang may access sa iyong email, syempre ikaw lang ang makakabasa nito. Hindi katulad ng Google Will Keep Reading Your Emails, Just Not for Ads.

[2] Mas napapabuti ang iyong securidad - Meron tinatawag ang Protonmail na "zero access encryption", na ang ibig sabihin ay wala syang access sa ating email at kung saka sakaling ma hack pa din, kailangan nilang i decrypt ang message para mabasa lamang ang iyong pinadalang email

[3] Hindi rin sila nag logging o yung tracking - walang silang monitoring tools

[4] End-to-end encryption - ibig sabihin na encrypted ang mga pinapadala yung mga email using TLS encryption.
