About VPN or Not

Hi, I am Ricardo — I’m the person behind vpnornot.com.

I work in cybersecurity and infrastructure, with a background in network security, systems engineering, and hands-on lab environments. Over the years, I’ve seen how often privacy tools are misunderstood, misused, or blindly trusted — sometimes creating a false sense of security.

I built this site to test and explain what VPNs can do in plain language, what they can’t do, and when they’re worth using.

Some pages may include links to VPN services. If you use them, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Thank you!
