What would be a more appropriate email address to use - or just no recovery email?
It's best for anonymity to not use one at all. Proton provides a recovery key to allow access to your account if you manage to lock yourself out. Keep that key somewhere safe/secure.
Thank you. Recovery key seems like a better route for sure
Ideally no recovery mail or you can create burner gmail account with a vpn
Doesn't Gmail require a phone number upon registration? One of the worst choices for "burner" mails.
Do they now? I remember creating 10 gmail account using a free vpn back in 2022. iirc outlook doesn't require a phone number
Oh, nice! Where was the VPN server, if you remember? Also heard of it being possible on a real Android device, but not on an Android VM so even harder to fake.
