Through his comprehensive guides and reviews, he underscores the many benefits of VPNs, from safeguarding privacy to unblocking and streaming TV shows and sporting events.
A graduate of the University of Lincoln, Mark earned a BA (Hons) degree in English and Journalism before relocating to sunny Spain, where he spent several years teaching English as a foreign language.
