For e-mails, you can just get firefox relay with your own subdomain and generate infinite e-mail masks for 1$ a month. I usually take "[email protected]" for example. It's pretty great because you just make the masks on the fly.

What about plus addressing which is supported by most major mail services for free? You can just use [email protected] for example.

For users of Gmail, I can confirm this works and you can even set it up so that address+nameofshop goes to a folder called "nameofshop."

You can also apparently add a dot anywhere before @gmail.com and still receive the email. I haven't tried this one, but the last time I mentioned this someone said it was part of the email standard, so presumably it works.

I don't know of tricks specifically of this vein for proton mail, but I do know you can setup a catch-all address so, for example, something addressed to [email protected] goes instead to [email protected].

I've not tried SimpleLogin, but apparently it offers similar functionality.
