> But Proton Pass will also enable you to create a hide-my-email alias. An email alias is a randomly generated email address that sits between a third party (like Amazon, Facebook, or Netflix) and your real email account

Is there some software I can install on my webserver to generate per service emails like Proton Pass here (amazon.44ot65@passmail.com, netflix.56ax12@passmail.com, ...)? And which forwards the mails to my main Gmail and allows replying to them.

You can maybe try SimpleLogin. It's open source and can be self hosted (I have no idea how difficult or not this is). Proton acquired them and integrated the product into their own.

Thank you, looks perfect.

Anonaddy, basically the exact same product made by different people, can also be selfhosted. https://anonaddy.com/

Both Google domains and Cloudflare Email routing have wildcard/catch-all email forwarding. You probably can't reply from those email addresses, but you can receive/have email forwarded to those addresses. I have had this setup with Google domains, I now have it setup with Cloudflare email routing. In both cases it's free, but you need to have the domain on Google domains for 1) or add site to Cloudflare (and use their name servers for 2).
