Our Story

TechLapse was created by a team of cybersecurity enthusiasts in 2018 to help users learn about internet safety and make unbiased and informed purchasing decisions. They set out to create a website where they could teach people about the best online security tools to make cybersecurity simple.

Our Vision

We created TechLapse with a mission to spread awareness about internet safety. Since online threats and hackers are constantly on the rise and getting more dangerous, we are dedicated to teaching people how to protect their sensitive data and digital assets.
Our goal is to provide in-depth reviews, analysis, and independent research about tools that will help avoid any trouble on the internet in many ways. It includes testing, comparing, and ranking Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), antivirus software, password managers, ad blockers, and more.
Here at TechLapse, we also aim to help you take control of your privacy. That’s why we develop and share useful cybersecurity tools for free, including a secure password generator and IP address checker.

When you purchase products through our links, we may get affiliate commissions from some companies to help keep our site running. However, it does not affect our reviews or rankings in any way, and we purchase all of the tools that we write about ourselves. There is no place for bias – TechLapse always provides objective information.
We are also an independent company that is not owned by any cybersecurity tool providers. So, you can trust that we do not write to sell – we write to inform.
Ultimately, we are a team of passionate tech people who care about your right to internet freedom, security, and, most importantly, complete privacy.
