About

HiveCore Network is an independent editorial publication covering networking, vpn, privacy — for humans who actually run the wire.

We publish reviews, comparisons, and operational guides written by working operators in the field. We don't publish AI-generated slop. We don't accept gifted hardware or paid placements. We don't recommend tools we haven't used in real production.

The team

• Quentin Marsh, Senior Editor — Network engineer with 12 years operating ISP-scale infrastructure.
• Ingrid Voss, Privacy Editor — Privacy researcher. Background in operational security.
• Caleb Tran, Home Lab Editor — Home lab specialist. Runs a 12-node UniFi + Proxmox stack.

Contact

Reach the editorial team at editor@hivecore.network — though for category-specific corrections, the byline author on each piece is the right contact.

Submissions

We accept guest submissions from working practitioners — not PR pitches, not affiliate-pump content. If you've shipped real work in our coverage area and want to share what you learned, send a query. We pay $0 for submissions but offer a permanent byline and full editorial credit.
