Right, so intermediaries can see all content. And knowing your IP address, nothing is anonymous.

By anonymous I mostly mean that I don't require your name or email, there are no ads and I don't keep logs.

I will add a let's encrypt SSL cert though for more anonymity.

Cool. It'd also be good to clarify what you mean by "anonymous". Even Tor doesn't claim to be anonymous.

What I mean with "anonymous" is on the homepage. From typed.pw

> Write anonymously. No logs. No tracking. No name. No email.

Isn't clear enough? Should I add more details?

What do you think would be a better word instead of "anonymous"?

It's just that "anonymous" is such a loaded word. And many users still have magical faith in Internet anonymity.

I would warn people about the need to obfuscate IP address. Maybe point them to https://www.privacytools.io/.

Nice site. The only problem is that it never mentions free software or GNU/Linux. "Open source" has never been about the user. https://prism-break.org may be better.

Will a let's encrypt SSL certificate be ok? Previously I didn't have the money but now that it's gratis I have no excuses.
