Online Security

Online security advice that starts with what can actually go wrong

Online security content often becomes too abstract too quickly. Most readers are not trying to become security engineers. They just want to avoid obvious mistakes, reduce exposure on public Wi-Fi, use VPN features properly and stop assuming that a paid app automatically solves every privacy problem. That is the approach I take in this archive.

I focus on the basics that matter in real life: using a kill switch, understanding what a no-logs claim really means, checking for leaks and choosing a provider that is trustworthy enough to deserve daily use.

For broader context, the UK’s NCSC VPN guidance and the ICO’s online privacy guidance are both useful reference points. They help keep VPN advice tied to sensible security practice rather than exaggerated promises.
