[Tutanota](https://tutanota.com/) | Free and open source email service based in Germany. It has a basic intuitive UI, secure native mobile apps, anonymous signup, and a .onion site. Tutonota has a full-featured free plan or a premium subscription for businesses allowing for custom domains ($12/ month).
[Mailfence](https://mailfence.com/) | Mailfence supports OpenPGP so that you can manually exchange encryption keys independently from the Mailfence servers, putting you in full control. Mailfence has a simple UI, similar to that of Outlook, and it comes with bundled with calendar, address book, and files. All mail settings are highly customizable, yet still clear and easy to use. Sign up is not anonymous, since your name, and prior email address is required. There is a fully-featured free plan, or you can pay for premium, and use a custom domain ($2.50/ month, or $7.50/ month for 5 domains), where BitCoin, LiteCoin or credit card is accepted.

If you do not want to trust an email provider with your messages, you can host your own mail server. Without experience, this can be notoriously hard to correctly configure, especially when it comes to security. If you do decide to go down this route, [Mail-in-a-box](https://mailinabox.email/), is an easy to deploy, open source mail server. It aims to promote decentralization, innovation, and privacy on the web, as well as have automated, auditable, and idempotent system configuration. Other ready-to-go self-hosted mail options include [Mailu](https://mailu.io/1.7/) and [Mail Cow](https://mailcow.email/), both of which are docker containers.
## Browsers
| Provider | Description |
| --- | --- |
[Brave Browser](https://brave.com/?ref=ali721) | Brave Browser, is currently one of the most popular private browsers- it provides unmatched speed, security, and privacy by blocking trackers. It also pays you in [BAT tokens](https://basicattentiontoken.org/) for using it. The interface is very clear and simple and offers all the features of Chrome/ Chromium + more. Brave also has Tor built-in, when you open up a private tab/ window.
[FireFox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox) | Compared to Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari- Firefox is significantly more secure, and offers some nifty privacy features. After installing, there are a couple of small tweaks you will need to make, in order to secure Firefox. You can follow one of these guides by: [Restore Privacy](https://restoreprivacy.com/firefox-privacy/), [Security Gladiators](https://securitygladiators.com/firefox-privacy-tips/) or [12Bytes](https://12bytes.org/7750)
[Bromite](https://www.bromite.org/) | Bromite is Chromium (Chrome without Google) plus ad blocking and enhanced privacy. It provides a no-clutter browsing experience without privacy-invasive features- it's lightweight and minimal
[Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/) | Undoubtedly Tor is the king of secure browsers. It provides an extra layer of anonymity, by encrypting each of your requests, then routing it through several nodes, making it near-impossible for you to be tracked. It does make every-day browsing a little slower, and some sites will require you to complete a CAPTCHA, and others may not work at all on Tor

## Virtual Private Networks
VPNs are good for getting round censorship, increasing protection on public WiFi, obscuring your IP address, and reducing what data your ISP can log. But for the most anonymity, you should use [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/). VPNs do not mean you are automatically protected, or anonymous (see below).
You could host your own VPN, which would allow you to have full visibility and control over logs. See [Streisand](https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand)

**[ProtonVPN](https://protonvpn.com/)** | From the creators of ProtonMail, ProtonVPN has a solid reputation. They have a full suit of user-friendly native mobile and desktop apps. ProtonVPN is one of the few "trustworthy" providers that also offer a free plan
