Email aliases that forward to your real inbox
An alias is a second address that belongs to you. You hand it out instead of your real one; everything sent to it lands in the inbox you already use. Spam starts? Switch it off, and your real address was never exposed.
You give out
SandVPN forwards
Your real address is never revealed to the sender
You receive
In your usual inbox, nothing to install
An alias is not a disposable address
Disposable address
Lives 24 hours, has its own inbox you have to open, and dies with everything in it. Perfect for a one-off signup you will never come back to.
Try the free disposable inboxEmail alias
Never expires, and forwards to the inbox you read every day. You use it for years with a service you actually care about — and you can shut it off without changing your real address.
What it changes
Your real address stays private
The sender only ever sees the alias. A data breach on their side exposes an address you can delete.
One alias per service
When spam arrives, you know exactly who sold your address — the alias tells you.
Switch it off, not your inbox
Blocking an alias takes one click. Changing a real email address takes weeks and breaks every account you own.
Nothing to install
Mail arrives where it already does. No second app, no second inbox to check.
Choose the name yourself
Premium lets you pick what goes before the @, so an alias reads like a normal address instead of a random string.
Unlimited aliases
Create one per signup without counting. There is no cap on Premium.
When you would use one
- Signing up to a shop, a newsletter or a forum you do not fully trust
- Selling something online, without publishing the address you use for work
- Free trials, where the address is resold more often than the service is used
- Separating your bank and administrative mail from everything else
- Anything asking for an email before showing you what it does
Unlimited aliases, with the name you choose
Included in every SandVPN Premium subscription, along with the VPN and the password manager.
Questions
What is an email alias?
A second address that forwards to your real one. You give the alias to a service; the mail arrives in your usual inbox, and the service never learns your real address.
How is it different from a disposable address?
A disposable address expires after a few hours and has its own inbox you have to go and read. An alias never expires and forwards to the inbox you already use, so it suits a service you will keep for years.
Can I reply from an alias?
Yes. Replies leave from the alias, so the person you answer still does not see your real address.
What happens when I disable an alias?
Mail sent to it stops being forwarded. Your real address is untouched, and every other alias keeps working.
How many aliases can I create?
Unlimited on Premium. The free plan lets you try one forward so you can see how it works.
Can I choose the alias name?
Yes, with a Premium subscription: you pick what goes before the @. The domain is sandtobox.com in every case. Without Premium the name is generated for you.
Does an alias hide my IP address too?
No — an alias hides your email address, not your connection. The VPN, included in the same subscription, is what hides your IP.
