Small, self-funded, and free for everyone
CyberSecurityGuides is a tiny, independent project. Every guide is free, with no paywalls — and we keep them tested and up to date as apps, threats and settings change. If we've helped, here are two ways you can help keep it that way.
Support us for free — use our links
The simplest way to support the site costs you nothing. We'd rather be funded by recommending genuinely good tools than by cluttering the guides with ads — so this is what keeps the lights on.
Set up tools through our links
When you start or upgrade a paid plan with a tool we recommend — like Proton — through a link on our site, we may earn a small commission. It costs you nothing extra, and it's the main thing that keeps the guides free.
Only tools we actually use
We never recommend something just because it pays. The advice doesn't change based on commission, and we always flag the free option when it's all you need.
Share a guide that helped
Passing a guide to someone who's been hacked, scammed, or just wants to lock things down helps more people and helps us grow — completely free.
Switching to Proton?
Proton is the private, encrypted email & VPN we recommend throughout our guides. Starting a paid plan through our link supports the site at no extra cost to you.
Affiliate disclosure: if you create or upgrade a paid plan through links on our site, CyberSecurityGuides may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend tools we use and trust.
Or make an optional donation
Completely optional, and never expected — especially if you've just been through a hack or a scam. If the guides genuinely helped and you'd like to chip in toward hosting and the time it takes to keep everything current, it's hugely appreciated.
Chip in whatever you like
A one-off gift or a small monthly amount — no account needed, no pressure, and you can cancel a monthly donation anytime.
