About Mike Percsy

I’m the founder of Enfinnit and the person responsible for the testing standards and editorial integrity behind every VPN review published on the site.

I have over 25 years of experience designing, securing, and operating high-stakes financial systems, where reliability, privacy, and trust are non-negotiable. That background shapes how Enfinnit evaluates privacy tools today — with an emphasis on evidence, repeatability, and real-world behavior rather than marketing claims.

I designed and oversee the Enfinnit Global Stress Test (EGST) — the documented testing framework used across all VPN reviews on Enfinnit.

EGST is built to evaluate how VPNs perform under sustained, real-world conditions, not idealized or one-off scenarios. I am responsible for maintaining the methodology, ensuring consistency across reviews, and updating testing criteria as technologies, threats, and usage patterns evolve.

This approach allows Enfinnit to publish comparisons that remain fair, meaningful, and difficult to manipulate over time.

How I Test VPNs

Before founding Enfinnit, I led in-house development and security teams responsible for financial software handling billions of dollars in client funds. My role sat at the intersection of technology and decision-making - translating complex systems into outcomes people could understand and trust.

I hold postgraduate honours qualifications in Information Systems (High Distinction) and have spent decades working in environments where privacy failures have real-world consequences.

The standards below govern how reviews are produced and maintained across Enfinnit.

All reviews published on Enfinnit follow the same core principles:

• Independence: Reviews are based on hands-on evaluation and documented criteria - no pay-to-play.
• Evidence: Where appropriate, findings are supported by published test results and verification.
• Clarity: Explanations are practical and plain-spoken, without hype or unnecessary jargon.
• Consistency: VPNs are tested using the same framework to ensure fair comparisons.
• Updates: Reviews are rechecked and timestamped when material facts change.

Affiliate relationships, where used, are always disclosed and do not influence review outcomes. See the Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Enfinnit is independently operated and based in Australia. I remain directly accountable for the accuracy of published content, the integrity of testing methods, and the ongoing maintenance of the EGST framework.
