I’d really like to use the service and in fact I wish I’d been using it forever. But I want to do it right and self host it. It’s just, maybe the most complicated thing I’ve ever seen.

Does it require self hosting your own email server as well? If you already own a domain, does that make the process easier?

is Anon Addy the only service like this? Also I’d love to integrate with bitwarden, so when I create a new account for some website, I can automatically create a new email address. (idk if there’s any reason to do this, just think it could be cool)

To piggyback further, I’ve been wondering if having my own domain would help me get around my double nat issue not allowing me to make reverse proxies.

Thanks in advance to the community!

Edit:

I think I have a solution! Bitwarden actually has these integrations already and it’s relatively new. duckduck go just doesn’t work. I tried forwardemail and that site is filled with dark patterns so you think the free account is worth a damn until you’re already invested time into setting it up. At the last minute it tells you you can’t use it with bitwarden on the free account. The others are at least up front about their pricing. forwardemail.net doesn’t even have a pricing page. Sending emails from the masked addresses is also paywalled. pretty much all functionality on forwardemail.net is paywalled, but they hide it from you the best they can, so fuck that company.

I spoke too soon. There’s no option that isn’t paid. So I guess back to self hosting anonaddy

Edit: I finally got duckduckgo email working with bitwarden integration. It now generates a random email for me automatically!
