Expert guides, in-depth analysis, and practical advice on VPNs, encryption, online privacy, and staying anonymous in an increasingly surveilled world.
Browse All Articles →In-depth, independent guides on online privacy, VPNs, encryption, and everything you need to stay safe online.
We are not sponsored by any VPN or security company. Every recommendation is based on our own testing and research.
Our team includes cybersecurity researchers, privacy lawyers, and former network engineers with decades of combined experience.
We cover privacy threats and solutions relevant to users worldwide, from mass surveillance to corporate data collection.
CipherPost was founded in 2023 with a single mission: to make expert-level privacy and security knowledge accessible to everyone — not just technical professionals.
The digital privacy landscape is changing faster than ever. Governments are expanding surveillance programs. Data brokers are building comprehensive profiles on billions of people. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated. Yet most people receive their privacy advice from sources with obvious financial conflicts of interest.
We're different. CipherPost accepts no advertising from VPN providers, security software companies, or any other entity that might benefit from our recommendations. We buy and test every product we review ourselves. When we say a VPN is trustworthy, it's because we have independently verified that claim — not because they paid us to say it.
Our editorial team includes former security researchers, privacy advocates, and journalists who have spent careers covering surveillance, data privacy, and cybersecurity. We translate complex technical topics into clear, actionable guidance that anyone can follow.
We believe that privacy is not a luxury — it is a fundamental human right. Our goal is to give every reader the knowledge and tools they need to exercise that right effectively.
