About Us

Welcome to Aovory

Aovory (aovory.com/) is a publication built around one simple idea: technology decisions get easier when the research is already done for you. We cover four fast-moving spaces — VPN and online privacy, gaming, artificial intelligence, and software — and turn our findings into news coverage and hands-on reviews you can actually act on.

The Person Behind the Site

Aovory is run by Dennis Anderson, based in Gainesville, Florida. What started as a way to track and compare tools across the VPN, gaming, AI, and software markets has grown into a full publication covering release news, industry shifts, and detailed product testing across all four categories.

Our Coverage Areas

VPN: speed benchmarks, security and no-log verification, streaming unblocking tests, and pricing breakdowns.
Gaming: reviews across PC, console, mobile, indie, and VR titles, plus release calendars and industry news.
AI: testing of chatbots, image and video generators, coding assistants, and productivity tools, alongside model and research news.
Software: evaluations of productivity, security, design, and utility software, plus update and release tracking.

Our Testing Approach

Reviews are based on direct hands-on use wherever possible, supported by vendor documentation and independent research. We’re upfront about how a product was evaluated, and we revisit reviews periodically so ratings don’t go stale as products change. See our Editorial Policy for the specifics.

How the Site Stays Running

Aovory is funded mainly through affiliate partnerships — if you buy something or sign up for a service through a link on this site, we may earn a small commission at no cost to you. It helps keep the testing and writing going. Details are in our Affiliate Disclosure.
