    Show HN: Free IP fraud score detection (without ads or captcha)

    I run a temporary email service and it was a constant battle to block the bots so I built an internal tool to give the IPs a fraud score from 0-100 and limit the fraudulent IPs. I …

    Show HN: IP Lookup Extension

    I made a really simple tool that let's you lookup the DNS, WhoIs and IP of the site that you're visiting. It also let's you highlight IPs on websites, right-click and do lookups in…

    Show HN: IP Tools (Ipaddress.to)

    After some struggle to find a simple, affordable and reliable network tools I've made a site called https://ipaddress.to > and my goal is to make it easier for fellow devs and I'll…

    Got it, that makes more sense and could actually make your inbox more private as the email provider won't be able to snoop into your emails to gather data to "make your ads more pe…

    Can you give me an example of who would be sending you emails with PGP though to your disposable email address and why?

    Thanks for the advice and I'll look into supporting email forwarding, but I'm not sure why users would need PGP.

    Exactly, that's the site I had in mind although I'm pretty sure it had another name before (could perhaps also be the reason to why I didn't find it in the first place).

    Got it, this could perhaps work and the downside would however be that the user wouldn't have complete control over the domain, unless DNS control is provided and before I can say …

    If I'm not misunderstanding you, the same should go for aliases as they will be flagged as disposable addresses as well. I also noticed that Addy allows users to send emails throug…

    I think that's for the small players though as this should be pretty slow, expensive and have the risk of the "employees" stealing the data (the business they are in is practically…

    I think that completely depends on what the service is, but I don't think users would have anything against paying a few dollars if they find the service valuable, especially now w…

    I'd rather fill out a captcha when I sign up than having to drag emails to spam on a daily basis so I can find emails that are actually important.

    There are plenty just like there are IP lists for VPNs. Feel free to share a link to your service as I'd love to check it out and best of luck running it also!

    Right, that actually sounds like a decent idea and since the users would then have verified themselves with their payment details, it would reduce the risk of abuse.

    That's what I would assume most of them are doing, yes. In this day and age I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to just use a headless browser instead of doing it manually…

    That's funny in a bizarre way. Imagine having to tell someone that you can't access your accounts because you retweeted something that wasn't deemed acceptable. Perhaps if we're lu…

    It's a great service that I used myself many years ago and I was sad to see them shut down, but it seems as though they are back now.

    I'm not sure that's a great solution though, because all the domains would use the same mail server which would basically instantly flag your domain and all your addresses as dispo…

    That's another way yes and I've actually seen another site do this, but I wasn't able to find it in my browser history.

    Take a look at your network requests though, there isn't a single third-party script running on the site. I understand what you mean, but it has to apply to the use-case. If the se…
