River is a Tech Software Editor and VPN expert, helping take care of cybersecurity content on Tom's Guide, ranging from reviews, buying guides, and must-have VPN deals. River's expertise in the cybersecurity field opened their eyes to the startling amount of online snooping we accept into our daily lives. Now, River is committed to fighting for your right to digital privacy by shining a light on its biggest threats – and helping readers safeguard their data with the help of a VPN. Surfshark is River's favorite VPN, and they use it every day to keep their most sensitive details out of the hands of third-party trackers.

Originally from North Wales, River graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University with a First Class degree in Creative Writing and real knack for crafting stories. After bouncing around the UK as a B2B magazine editor (and working in an eclectic range of fields, ranging from theme parks and amusements, VR gaming, and e-commerce), River landed in Liverpool in 2019. After joining ProPrivacy, they dove into the world of cybersecurity, and has since been quoted in The Guardian, BBC News, and Forbes.

When they’re not keeping Tom’s Guide content nice and tidy, River likes to wind down by raiding in Final Fantasy 14, trying not to fall down various mountains and hills while hiking, and shouting at men in tights at wrestling shows.
