Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Shivansh, and I built GhostRelay after a job board leaked my real email to data brokers. Within two weeks, I was drowning in spam and phishing emails. I looked at the alternatives: • SimpleLogin — €4/month • addy.io — $4/month • Apple Hide My Email — requires iCloud+ • Firefox Relay — bundled with Mozilla VPN All of them charge monthly for what is fundamentally a database lookup + email forward. And if you stop paying, your aliases die. So I built my own. On Cloudflare's free tier. The entire thing: - Email Workers (intercept + forward) — free - KV Store (alias mappings) — free - Pages (dashboard) — free - Total monthly cost: $0 It took me 15 minutes to deploy and I've been using it daily for months. Every service I sign up for gets a unique alias. When one gets compromised, I know exactly who leaked it, and I kill the alias with one click. It's fully open source (MIT license). No tracking, no analytics on your data, no catch. I'd love to hear: what would make YOU switch from your current email setup? What features would be most useful? 👇

Simple products often win because they remove recurring friction. Curious—what convinced users to switch from existing aliasing solutions instead of just staying with what they already had?

 Great question! Our focus isn't just on creating another aliasing service—it's on removing everyday friction. Users who've tried GhostRelay appreciated the faster setup, cleaner UX, and straightforward alias management. We're continuously improving based on feedback, so conversations like this are incredibly valuable. Thanks! 🙌

  Appreciate the thoughtful reply. I like the focus on removing everyday friction rather than just adding another option.

I'd enjoy continuing this conversation and sharing a few thoughts on product positioning in this space. If you're open to it, what's the best email to reach you?
