Comment on Does Cloudflare provide anonymity?

  Exactly. Most cloud virtualization providers you just take a snapshot of the virtual disk and provide that when requested and the customer never has a clue that is happened. I’d get contacted by our legal department, told that my boss was only to be told that I was working for them for now and no other details, and then directed on what they needed a copy of and how to send it to them.

  Thanks for your insight. Reading these stories always makes me feel data should stay on own premises with extra security measures. And yes, on my VPS, imaging the storage is one click and I believe it’s done online without any interruption of service. Not that I do a lot of illegal stuff on the internet. But with the current situation in the US and the general overboarding surveillance, I think i’d like to keep their government and agencies out of my emails and personal stuff…

  Though I didn’t ask about privacy here, but anonymity. And I guess selfhosting stuff at home isn’t an option either. Everyone can tell my ISP and location to like 30km with that.

      Sure, email is bad and we don’t have any worthy successor. I can only deal with the most problematic aspects. Keep my inbox stored somewhere where people can’t just easily go through all my stored mails and I guess it’s transport encrypted more often than it’s not… But yeah, it’s only a little bit and “secure” shouldn’t be in one sentence with email, I guess 😟
