As VPN editor at Tom's Guide, Mo manages the three-strong VPN team and oversees a busy weekly content schedule of VPN, privacy, and cybersecurity news, reviews, and advice. He's a daily VPN user himself – typically NordVPN or ExpressVPN – and a regular reviewer of all the leading services: you’ll find his latest recommendations in Tom’s Guide’s best VPN and best free VPN guides.
Mo is deeply committed to helping people choose the right VPN for their needs, and takes a meticulous, data-driven approach to Tom’s Guide’s testing processes to ensure that he and his team can make confident VPN recommendations that are grounded in thorough, real-world testing.
Whether he’s analyzing advanced privacy features like obfuscation and split tunneling, connection speeds across different protocols such as WireGuard and OpenVPN, or compatibility across different devices, Mo has clocked up hundreds of hours over the last half decade interrogating the claims made by leading and lesser-known VPN providers.
Outside of his role at Tom’s Guide, Mo has contributed to a number of leading tech publications on VPN and privacy issues, including TechRadar, What Hi-Fi? and T3, developing his position as a trusted voice in the field.
He graduated with First Class honours in English Literature and Creative Writing from Manchester University in the UK, and before joining the Tom's Guide team, worked for several years in creative and editorial writing. Alongside this, he side-hustled as a proofreader and copy editor – honing his skills in communicating complex information clearly – all the while gaining notoriety (if not success) with his band in his homeland of Cornwall.
