About Hexento
Hexento is a small brand for decision utilities — short tools and guides that help you pick software under real constraints, or confidently skip the purchase.
What we make
The first live tool is Pickguard: a constrained chooser for consumer software utilities (VPN-first, with adjacent categories). Around it sit decision hubs for VPN, password managers, data-removal / privacy ops, and antivirus, plus opinionated guides when the market default is “just buy something.”
The bar is simple: useful even if you never click a partner link.
Who’s behind it
Hexento is run by Ken — an independent builder shipping small web tools and experiments. There is no twelve-person “research lab,” no invented editorial masthead, and no stock-photo team page. When a page says “we,” it means this project and its stated methodology — not a fictional department.
That smallness is a feature for accountability and a constraint on scope. We publish fewer pages on purpose. Depth beats a thin archive of synonym listicles.
How money works
Some recommendations may eventually use affiliate / partner links. If you buy through those links, Hexento may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Details live on the disclosure page, and again near any partner CTAs.
Partner availability can change which offers are easy to deep-link. It does not decide the winner when a free, built-in, or non-partner option fits better. Full rules: how we score.
What we won’t do
- Fake testimonials, fake lab counts, or “we tested 47 products” without a real method.
- Scareware patterns, fake system dialogs, or junkware / keyshop promotion.
- Guarantee illegal outcomes, total anonymity, or permanent deletion from the internet.
- Pretend a brand-new page is a decade of institutional testing.
