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!

    I have a catchall inbox so I can just make up any email I want and everything gets forwarded to the catchall inbox. It’s pretty easy to set up if you do host your own mail server (which is relatively easy for receiving mail). Obviously this doesn’t integrate with bitwarden or anything, though. If you want to forward emails to your main email account on a big provider you’re going to have to make sure your server can send emails you can potentially use a relay service for this, or just set it up yourself (you’ll mostly just need some DNS records for SPF / DMARC / DKIM).
