Forget the VPN--I already have a VPN provider and I have no interest in changing. Offer a paid e-mail service, on the other hand, and I'd sign on up Day 1.

- numbsafari 6y agoThis right here. And a hosted suite of productivity tools that have documented, public formats that contain all of your data (and not just a link to the cloud-hosted copies). Amazing that GSuite's only real competitor in 2020 in Office365.

- cecida 6y agoI've checked out Nextcloud a few times, but it really needs a sizeable and trustworthy brand that would host it for you, allow you to point a custom domain at it, and provide zero config email/calendering out of the box. I'd trust Mozilla.
- qchris 6y agoI second this wholeheartedly. I would be happy paying at least the $5/mo that they're charging for the VPN to have web-based access to privacy-respecting email service tied to a name I tend to trust like Mozilla (hopefully with a fairly vanilla domain name that doesn't get weird looks). Purism's Librem One suite [0] comes the closest, but I just don't have the trust in them that I'd want before pulling the trigger. They have a history of making grand claims with sub-par delivery, which just doesn't cut it for a service like a primary email provider. They've claimed plans to add features like file storage for ages now with no updates. Email is just too important a part of daily life to risk it. [0] https://librem.one/ https://librem.one/
