An alias generator for online privacy protection

NEW ALIAS

About

New Alias is an alias generator designed to protect online identity. It generates plausible-sounding names, usernames, and passphrases, as well as real open addresses in the United States that are not tied to any particular individual or business (made available through the OpenAddress project - you can read more on them here: https://openaddresses.io/).

Installation and Usage

This program is available as the python package "new-alias". If python is installed on your system, then you should be able to run "pip install new-alias" (with a dash) without any issues. After the package is installed, the program can be run on the command line by simply typing the package name "new_alias" (with an underscore).
