Q: Anybody know a good mail account usable in China, English and no servers in China or US?

I have ecrypted email accounts that I pay for my side businesses, but I just don't like even personal mail being monitored, nothing to hide, boring actually, just the principle of the matter.

 

I tried some emails in Luxembourg, to many signed up today, try tomorrow, same with proton in Switzerland.

 

I just want an English email account for correspondence hopefully that will allow attachments up to 50 mb that is not physically located in China or the United States.

 

Some bragging email accounts in Europe want come up for sign up or you fill everything in and it locks down.

Some you have to use a Vpn to get to them which defeats the purpose of what I am looking for.

 

Perhaps a Chinese friendly country like Pakistan or Vietnam.

 

As my boss says, if you have nothing to hide,don't worry about it, obviously a Chinese mind that has never considered that China is a hamster cage and he is the hamster being observed, the cage just happens to be a very large mafia pyramid cage and the lower you are in the matrix cage, the more scrutiny you get. Moreover, if everybody moved their email accounts away from spying, monitoring countries, perhaps the laws and oversight might transition to a more amicable resolution.

Try with email @ 'Yandex' with DuckDuckGo' search engine.

You could add Tor Browser to that for even more security ...., i.e. 'hide your IP address' as one.

Tor is a bit slower at loading, but it's worth to give sniffers hard time. 100% protection? I ain't sure into that much, but as you open US website you will have few adverts in language you most likely don't understand. It is because to USA website looks like you are opening website from Swaziland or from other planet. It cracks me up!

I am using both in Vladistan. As I remember, I couldn't download Tor when I was in China.

I tried with PGP encryption, but it's PIA 'cause it isn't enough if only sender has an encryption. Receiver must also have PGP keys to unlock your 10 words message. Too much hassle, but it's free if you care for an encryption.

I have PGP since 'Up-yours' HK days, but I rarely use it.

I brought a preloaded laptop with TOR to China, but it does not work most of the time or very slowly. I will try the other ones mentioned.

Yandex and DuckDuck search apparently don't follow/register your websites clicks like GOOG&Yahoo.

If I try to access eTities with TOR it just doesn't load, so it must be some kind of block on TOR in China.

Tutanota might work for you, if you can't get proton to work.

hi2u:

there are no emails that dont monitor. the swiss will absolutely hand over any information requested by the us. remember roman polanski? the swiss voluntarily offered polanski to the us. how do you think switzerland gets so many banking concesions? do you honestly believe any country can get those kinds of concesions without cooperating with the us? any wealthy country in the world now is wealth because the us allows them to be. without the us luxembourg would be poor. the fact that luxembourg is rich tells you that luxembourg will bend over backwards for the us on command.

 

pakistan, and vietnam have high levels of cooperation with the us also. the us is one of the biggest importers of vietnamese goods. how do you think it will look when the us asks for data and vietnam refuses? do you really think any country in the world, aside from china, will risk their relationship with the us to protect your data? countries with good relations with the us like australia, canada, iceland, japan, singapore are guaranteed to give any data requested by the us. as you may know, even china is collecting social security numbers and tax ids for the us. so what does that tell you?

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
