Delivering the intelligence and education that defends privacy in an exposed world.
TorWire started with a simple idea: the internet should feel safe to explore, not confusing, not scary — just open to everyone. While our journey is just beginning, our commitment is drawn from years of collective experience in the digital privacy space.
Our crew? A combination of cybersecurity pros, researchers, and writers from all walks of life. We just want to make the internet easier to grasp and safer to use. From simple privacy advice to checking out the shadier corners of the web, we want to give you the real info you need to browse safely and with confidence.
Really, we’re here to help everyone get smarter and stay safe online. We believe knowing how the internet works is the first step in staying truly in charge.
Our Mission
Think of us as your curious, cautious friend who tests all the privacy tools. We also write detailed reviews on VPNs, antivirus software, and the likes —but we don’t stop there, we go the extra mile. We create accessible, accurate, and actionable guides to understanding the layered ecosystems of the web, including the deep web and darknets. But, it’s worth noting that we will never advocate illegal activity – we do, and will always, document and reveal such activities to alert users online.
Curiosity’s human. You want to know what’s happening out there, explore new things, and maybe keep in touch with people without being watched. We get that. We give you the facts and tools you need. No drama, no jargon. Just clear privacy and security guidance so you can make informed choices and browse with confidence. Knowing the risks is what makes exploration safe.
And privacy? That’s not just a feature—it’s a basic right, especially now, when so much of life happens online.
In a landscape that’s always changing, TorWire works to be your go-to source. No hype and scare tactics, we just give you the facts about staying safe and private online, so you can make informed choices.
Our Core Values
TorWire runs on honesty, integrity, and a real concern for our readers. You are trusting us with your safety—that’s not something we take lightly.
Transparency first: We purchase all the tools we review ourselves—just like you would—and put them to rigorous testing. We never get paid to say something nice or hide the bad stuff. You get our real, expert opinion.
Accessible expertise: Cybersecurity jargon can feel like a locked door. We find the key. We explain hard topics and translate the techno-babble into plain English, because privacy knowledge shouldn’t be a secret language.
We empower you, not scare you – We give you the facts to help you feel prepared, whether you’re setting up a VPN, using a proxy, or just trying to stay safe online.
Integrity: We don’t accept guest posts or run traditional ads in our reviews or guide content. We’re honest with our evaluations. The evaluations we post are a true representation of our own research and what we believe to be true, and not influenced by outside sources. If you end up signing up for a service through our links, we may receive a commission. It won’t cost you anything extra, and it never changes what we say in our reviews. We only recommend tools we’ve actually tried and trust.

The People Behind TorWire
Our team is a collection of privacy advocates, tech geeks, hands-on researchers, and writers who may be a little too curious. We are the kind of people who see a ‘Keep Out’ sign on the internet and need to know why. Though we mostly work online, we’re all about people – your safety and helping you understand it is our priority.
We each come from many different backgrounds, but we all share one desire…to find out what’s on the internet, to see what’s really going o,n and to show you what we find. Our editors are very detail-oriented, reviewing every guide. And our analysts take their analysis to the next level by testing software in the real world. Everyone in our team is dedicated to earning the trust of our readers.
Keeping Our Team and Our Work Safe
The most important part of our work often involves looking into sensitive parts of the web and digital privacy. To keep our team safe while they’re doing this important work, they might use fake names or other security measures. This allows them to delve into critical topics—like dark web environments or surveillance practices—without personal risk. We adhere to strict ethical guidelines in all such work, always balancing investigative depth with personal security and integrity.
