so i wanted to cover just one more thing before we kind of wrap on the email section of this course.
and that's some general secure email tips.
so these are general best practices or things you should, you should definitely remember when using secure email, if you're using it through the clearnet or tor.
so always remember that you should never disclose information in the subject line.
things like protonmail or mini online email or any other email providers may not encrypt the subject by default.
this is sort of a sending requirement for some email services.
so the subject line should not contain any information you wouldn't want to be public.
so keep the subject line basic, keep it anonymous, don't disclose any information.
also, it's important to ensure you're always using pgp when possible.
if somebody else is not using pgp and you send them an email, just understand that that conversation is not going to be encrypted with pgp.
darknet email providers also may go down often.
so be sure you're backing up your data.
things like torbox have been around for a while, so it's a little bit more reputable, but if you're not familiar with the email service, then you're not sure if you can trust it.
well, be sure you're backing up your data periodically because that server could go down at any time and you would lose all of that email.
and just a general thing to note that any good email providers will require no javascript to use.
you should be able to use tor on the safest setting with javascript disabled and you should still be able to use the email service.
if any of them require javascript, that is not an email provider i would use for any sort of secure email.
so hopefully you enjoyed that content.
if there's any other tips or tricks that you know of that you'd like us to cover, be sure to let me know.
otherwise we'll see you in the next one.
