I started building a small VPN Knowledge Base (and why GitHub docs actually help SEO + trust)

Hey everyone 👋

Over the last few weeks I’ve been working on two small privacy projects:
• VPN World (GitHub Pages, multilingual)
• SmartAdvisorOnline (practical VPN/security guides)

And I realized something:

Most VPN blogs are just endless “best VPN” lists…
but almost nobody builds real documentation behind them.

So I started a simple experiment:

⸻

🧠 A Knowledge Base as a trust layer

Instead of keeping everything as separate articles, I created a central hub where I collect:
• short VPN reference docs
• leak test explanations
• streaming troubleshooting
• glossary + checklists
• practical “how to fix it” notes

The idea is simple:

If you treat VPN content like an ecosystem (not isolated posts), it becomes much more useful — for users and for Google.

🔗 Why GitHub documentation is underrated

I’m hosting the reference docs directly on GitHub.

Not because it’s trendy, but because:
• it’s transparent
• version-controlled
• easy to expand over time
• and honestly… it builds more credibility than another generic blog page

It feels closer to how real tech products work.

⸻

🚀 The hub is here

I’m slowly building it piece by piece:

👉 Knowledge Base Hub:
https://dloran1.github.io/knowledge-base.html

Still early, but the foundation is there.

Small question for the community

Do you personally trust projects more when they have:
• open documentation
• public methodology
• GitHub references

Or do most readers never care?

Curious what you think — your feedback will help me decide where to go deeper next.

Thanks 🙌
