Alberta Vengrytė

Senior Cybersecurity Writer

With over 10 years of experience in PR and critical journalism, I took a well-thought-out turn to the tech industry and earned myself a trusted cybersecurity expert reputation. Charged with testing and reviewing VPNs, antiviruses, password managers, eSIMs and other security apps Ų products for VPNpro, I strive to deliver clarity in the complex world of cybersecurity. At once analytical and innovative, I thrive in the ever-shifting technological landscape, where I employ my most vital skills - creating and delivering quality content to my readers. I wrote and illustrated my first book…being 4 years old. However, it did not entirely cover my latest passions – digital technology, physics, communication theory, and contemporary art. I’ve also worked as an art critic and communication projects manager in PR before taking a sharp right to the cybersecurity industry. Since 2014, my critical articles and various short copy have been printed and published online in every Lithuanian cultural magazine and the general media in Lithuanian & English (complete list of work available by demand). Some of my creative writing has also been featured in books (i.e., Valeveil, Stockholm, 2014). I am a feminist by ‘religion' with a strong passion for philosophy and specialty coffee. I highly value empathy and open-mindedness in my personal life. After hours, you can find me lost in reading, cycling, or browsing my endless indie electronic playlists.

I’m now the author of 35+ books published on Amazon Kindle, including topics such as teaching English securely on Zoom during the pandemic.

Djordje Djordjevic

Cybersecurity analyst and writer

I'm a cybersecurity analyst and tech reviewer at VPNpro and an expert on VPNs, online privacy, cybercrime, safe torrenting, and bypassing geo-restrictions. My main task is turning extensive software testing into actionable guides and helping readers solve their problems. During my 12-year career in content development, I've led teams of writers and editors, and created and executed content strategies. My focus on cybersecurity, however, started in 2017 as a senior content specialist at The VPNLab. I then advanced to VPN expert at VPNOverview, where I was featured by renowned publications like PCMag and Tech Times. I also served as a tech editor at All About Cookies, where I wrote SEO briefs, optimized written content, and crafted guidelines for new writers. When I'm not testing cybersecurity tools, you'll usually find me reading ridiculously long fantasy epics or brewing outlandish Magic: the Gathering decks.
