Everything on Save Internet Freedom is published as educational content. It is written to help ordinary readers understand internet freedom tools and policies โ€” not to serve as legal advice, digital-security consulting, or a substitute for professional help in a specific case.

Tools change

Software described on this site is updated constantly. Features, defaults, and available options may differ from what an article describes at the time you read it. Always check the tool's own documentation before relying on it.

Laws vary by country

The legal status of tools like VPNs, Tor, and encryption apps varies by country and changes over time. Nothing here should be read as legal advice for your jurisdiction. Consult a local lawyer if the answer matters to your safety.

High-risk situations

If you are at real risk from a state, an employer, or a stalker, please reach out to a group that works with cases like yours. Access Now's Digital Security Helpline is a good starting point.

No endorsement

Naming a tool is not an endorsement. We describe how tools work so readers can make informed choices. We do not accept referral fees, and no tool vendor pays for placement on this site.

Honest limitations of this disclaimer

This page cannot list every risk you might face online. It is meant to be read alongside the articles, not as a substitute for the caution good articles already recommend. If a specific piece of advice on this site sounds wrong for your situation, trust your own judgment first.
