Trusted VPN

VPN software can be important in this day and age, especially if you do lots of online banking and/or use public WiFi whilst travelling. Having a VPN adds an extra layer of security to your PC or laptop when online to help protect your data, passwords, financials, etc from hackers or malicious programs. It can also let you access region-locked content (eg US Netflix from overseas). For gamers their can be even more benefits to using a VPN.

Because they're so popular these days, there are countless VPN providers, and it can be confusing to pick one. If you want my 2 cents, after a lot of research I decided on NordVPN 'cause it's one of the fastest, most reliable VPNs for both gaming and general use, with a lot of credible reviews out there backing that up. They also quite often run very solid deals.

About the Author (2025 Update)

I'm an indie game developer currently developing my first public release, a highly-immersive ambitious VR spy shooter set in a realistic near-future releasing on Steam, partly inspired by some of my fav games of all time including Perfect Dark, MGS2, HL2, Splinter Cell, KOTOR, and Deus Ex (also movies like SW1-6, The Matrix, Bladerunner, and 5th Element).

Researching, writing, and periodically updating this site helps a little with self-funding the game (game is 100% self funded since a few years ago, all I have has gone into its development), as I earn a few dollars here and there from Amazon's affiliate program (if you click an Amazon link on this site and buy something, I get a tiny cut of the total sale, at no extra cost to you).

Hope the site helps save you money or frustration when building a PC, and if you want to support the countless hours gone into creating and fine-tuning the many guides and tutorials on the site, besides using my Amazon links if purchasing something, sharing an article on socials or Reddit does help and is much appreciated.
