hen an online store asks for your email address you could end up on a mailing list that’s not easy to unsubscribe from and face years of spam. Alternatively, you could use AdGuard, which is best known for blocking online ads and has now launched an email-masking tool. Sign up for AdGuard Mail and you’ll get an alias email address that you can provide instead of your main email. Any messages it receives will still be forwarded to your main inbox so you can monitor them. And if AdGuard Mail starts to receive spam, you can simply block the sender, safe in the knowledge that, because they don’t have your real details, you’ll never hear from them again. Here, we explain how to set up and use it.
