Sea Hagg Tech Distillery

A Short Overview of the Distillery

Sea Hagg Tech Distillery is an online project and technology blog run by John 'Sea Hagg' P. The name functions as a metaphor: the aim is to 'distill' complex topics such as web hosting and VPN into clear, practical guides. The content is aimed at readers who want to understand protocol choices, privacy and security issues, and how to navigate differences between free and paid services.

History

The site appeared in 2016 and carries a copyright from that year. John 'Sea Hagg' P. presents himself as the author with more than ten years of experience in web hosting and virtual private networks. As early as October 2016, the mission was articulated to make technical material simple and practical. In the following years, articles were published on SSL certificates, choosing hosting, and in particular many posts dealt with VPN: selecting protocols, how a VPN can protect against throttling, and the risks free VPN services can entail. Discussions of major events, such as the end of net neutrality in December 2017, are also included in the articles.

Whiskyer

Sea Hagg Tech Distillery does not offer spirits but a selection of technical guides and explanations. Among the topics are in-depth reviews of VPN protocols (OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP and SSTP), explanations of how a VPN protects against ISP throttling, warnings about free VPN services, an introduction to SSL certificates, and advice on choosing a hosting provider. The content ranges from beginner-friendly introductions to more technical configuration tips and recommendations on security and privacy.
