Casey Charles is a veteran technology journalist and one of the most respected voices in the world of online privacy and security. With over two decades of experience in the media industry, Casey has built a reputation for delivering in-depth, trustworthy reviews and clear explanations of complex digital topics. His career began in the late 1990s in London’s bustling media scene, where he covered a wide range of stories from emerging internet culture to early discussions about online privacy. In the early 2000s, as digital life became mainstream, Casey shifted his focus to helping people navigate the rapidly changing online landscape. He was among the first UK journalists to explore the benefits and risks of VPNs, encryption tools, and secure communication platforms. Over the years, Casey has tested and reviewed hundreds of software tools and online services, paying particular attention to privacy policies, data protection practices, and ease of use. His reviews are valued for their thoroughness, honesty, and practical advice — if there’s a potential drawback hidden in the fine print, Casey will find it. He has also worked as a consultant for technology companies and contributed to research papers on digital privacy and cybersecurity. His work has appeared in both industry-specific publications and mainstream media, and he’s been invited to speak on panels discussing online safety, secure browsing, and the future of internet freedom. Since joining VPNOnline.co.uk in 2025, Casey has focused on providing detailed VPN reviews, privacy tool comparisons, and plain-language guides that empower users to make informed decisions. He tests every service personally, checking speed, security, and usability so that readers get accurate, experience-backed recommendations. Outside of work, Casey is based in Cambridge, where he enjoys cycling, photography, and tinkering with vintage tech. His philosophy is simple: technology should work for you, not the other way around.
