Burner and ben are two common words, almost 100% sure it is just coincidence. Also if you're making an psuedo email you probably shouldn't use the alias you go by; I recommend using a random string generator.

An another note, Protonmail doesn't let you use the standard recaptcha verification if it sees you are on a vpn or tor node so you either have to use your actual IP, verify with phone, verify with non-proton email, or make a donation. Proton claims that they don't log phone or email but it's up to you if you trust these claims.

If you're ultra-paranoid , I suggest getting a prepaid visa using cash and then signing up to Protonmail over tor and spend five dollars to verify your account (I believe the money goes towards one of the subscription plans they have, it doesn't just go to the void). Make sure to also use a long randomized password and change it often :3

Any account that doesn't need to be tied to me I deleted and made an anon account if I still wanted to use it. However, I think I would go insane seeking full anonymity/privacy; There are so many ways companies/people could track you if they desired and I still want to talk to my friends and go by my username that I've been going for by a good portion of my life. So I still keep a Discord, Telegram, Youtube, Steam account, etc.

I run Qubes OS to keep my digital life compartmentalized as well as for security; This lets me set up different network and firewall vms to run things like a tor gateway vm and vpn vm. For example, I have a separate crypto appvm which runs through a different firewall vpn and then through my tor vm to hide my IP. I also use Vivaldi as my main browser with Brave and hardened Firefox as my alt browsers.

I plan to install a custom rom or Linux on my phone since im still using the default one. I know I can still go deeper into the privacy rabbit hole but I think I am at a good point now.
