Questions about "the helm"

Hello Level1 forums,

i chanced across this product and had several questions that i hoped more astute techies would be able to answer :slight_smile:

  1. this sounds good and all, enhanced privacy, but is it even worth it ? is this just a private email server with sparkles?

  2. is there a cost effective way to do the same thing myself ? note the $300 price tag with $99 a year subscription fee

  3. is the hardware even worth $300?

thanks in advance
