As a security analyst working in Beijing in 2008, I struggled to connect to basic websites like Facebook and Wikipedia (coincidentally, many more websites are banned in China today than were then). Naturally, I started looking for a solution. VPN services were, at the time, security tools used by large IT companies or cybersecurity professionals. I’m now the founder and CEO of Privacy Australia which I continue to run on a full-time basis.
I also write about investment and trading services aimed at beginners. My work has been featured on sites such as the New York Times, Yahoo Finance, and MarketWatch.
