PrivateBin is self-hosted and open source pastebin software that deletes pasted text after a visit. It can be configured to not delete the paste after first view, at which point there is an option of commenting and replying to the paste, like on an Internet forum.[2] All pastes on PrivateBin are encrypted with a password.[3][4] The encryption is both during transport and at rest.[5]

PrivateBin was forked from ZeroBin.
