Yes you can use Protonmail online and yes that might be the easiest way to do it. You’re simply using another service except this one is more secure. You are used to logging into your Gmail or Yahoo account on a web browser, so don’t let this scare you. ProtonMail is web based, and for most of you that isn’t an issue. There are several secure email services and in this blog I will focus on ProtonMail They use end to end encryption and if you have a ProtonMail account and you email someone that doesn’t…….you can still create an encrypted environment. It was super cool but people just would not take the extra steps to do this. Email encryption is nothing new and in fact I remember the first consumer grade stuff ………Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) in the mid 90’s.

If you think Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo are not spying on you there is no hope for you. I won’t get into details beyond that but …….why not encrypt your on-line conversations? No one needs to know what you like and don’t like, and what you stand for or don’t stand for. Most people think they are boring but as the current news feeds amplify, if you dare speak out on a subject you may be a target. Now more than ever in this Social Media day and age I think it is important to encrypt your private communications.
