Tried pgp.mit.edu, but getting a upstream proxy error.

I’ve found some others (keys.openpgp.org & flowcrypt.com), but the keys that they have given me so far don’t even match each other… probably user error I’ll figure out after 2-3 days of banging my head against this. But in the mean time, I thought I’d solicit your keyserver recommendations.

    I don’t — I just use S/MIME which doesn’t require a server. You could argue PGP is more private, but I’d argue it’s only “Pretty Good”. 😋

    Both are more than secure enough for anything I’d be willing to put in an email.

    Relevant note from the gpg man page:

    Most keyservers synchronize with each other, so there is generally no need to send keys to more than one server. The keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net uses round robin DNS to give a different keyserver each time you use it.
