Your Trusted Online Safety Toolkit

The Tools I Actually Use to Stay Safe Online

I don't recommend anything I haven't tried myself. These are the VPN, password manager and antivirus I use every day, and the ones I point my clients toward too.

Why I Use NordVPN

I've tried a lot of VPNs and NordVPN is the one I trust with my own browsing. It's fast, dead simple to use, and it hides your data from hackers, trackers and nosy Wi-Fi snoopers, whether you're at home or working from a coffee shop in town. Want the full story on why this matters? Read my guide on why you need a VPN.

If You Think You've Been Scammed

If you think you've fallen for a scam, don't just feel embarrassed and move on. Report it. Report Fraud is the UK's national reporting centre for fraud and cyber crime (it replaced Action Fraud), and every report helps build the picture that eventually catches the people behind it. In Scotland, report it to Police Scotland on 101 instead.

Why I Recommend NordPass

I'm rubbish at remembering passwords, and so is everyone else, which is exactly why so many people reuse the same weak one everywhere. NordPass fixes that. It's a simple, secure password manager that keeps your logins safe across every device, from the same team behind NordVPN. Curious what makes a good one? Have a read of my guide on choosing a password manager.

Why I Trust Bitdefender

Antivirus is the one thing people either overpay for or skip altogether, and both are a mistake. Bitdefender is what I run on my own devices. It catches things quietly in the background without slowing the machine to a crawl or nagging you every ten minutes, which is the reason most people end up switching theirs off.
