00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,990
so i wanted to cover just one more thing before we kind of wrap on the email section of this course.

2
00:00:04,990 --> 00:00:07,530
and that's some general secure email tips.

3
00:00:07,530 --> 00:00:15,480
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.

4
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:20,150
so always remember that you should never disclose information in the subject line.

5
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:27,160
things like protonmail or mini online email or any other email providers may not encrypt the subject by default.

6
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:30,320
this is sort of a sending requirement for some email services.

7
00:00:30,580 --> 00:00:34,680
so the subject line should not contain any information you wouldn't want to be public.

8
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:39,160
so keep the subject line basic, keep it anonymous, don't disclose any information.

9
00:00:39,580 --> 00:00:42,910
also, it's important to ensure you're always using pgp when possible.

10
00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:51,000
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.

11
00:00:51,260 --> 00:00:53,970
darknet email providers also may go down often.

12
00:00:53,970 --> 00:00:55,880
so be sure you're backing up your data.

13
00:00:56,100 --> 00:01:03,490
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.

14
00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:10,120
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.

15
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:16,430
and just a general thing to note that any good email providers will require no javascript to use.

16
00:01:16,430 --> 00:01:22,360
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.

17
00:01:22,420 --> 00:01:28,200
if any of them require javascript, that is not an email provider i would use for any sort of secure email.

18
00:01:28,340 --> 00:01:30,270
so hopefully you enjoyed that content.

19
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:34,810
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.

20
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:36,360
