[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Posteo unfortunately doesn't support custom domains. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, for a reason. You have to register with a name and an address to obtain/buy a custom domain at a third party. Your identity could be traced back via this. This is against their very strict and consistent 'zero knowledge' policy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scrollone@feddit.it 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Hmm I don't agree. You can always sign up using a foreign mail provider with a domain privacy service. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Could you break this down in how that works? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I register a domain using a service in a country outside of the EU (since Posteo is German). I also apply a "privacy protection" service, which means my data won't be visible in the public whois (the domain will be officially registered by the privacy service that I use). I sign up to Posteo and configure my third-party domain. This means Posteo doesn't know anything about me, and even if the police raids Posteo they can't find who I am. Of course they could, in theory, find out who I am, but that means going to the provider that I used to sign up for my domain, which may be on the other side of the planet outside of German police jurisdiction. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thanks 🙏, but what you describe is a theoretical option, right? Posteo doesn't offer to integrate such a custom domain afaik - but please correct me if I'm wrong!
