Worth repeating: NordVPN agreed to allow me full control over all research and visuals. I firmly believe if more companies fund publicly available, objective research we're all better for it. My research has not been tampered with in any way, period. If you came here to comment as such, I know you didn't actually watch the video.

PATREON

the routable address usually is assigned to the client router, not the ISP server, but the IP routing is a whole different topic
Also, usually for your home, the router is the DNS server, with it having the recursive server being the ISP or another service, which deals with looking it up... That too is a very complicated multi-tiered topic.
VPNs not keeping logs or details: many of them actually do keep that, as shown in court records from subpoenaed data. Many VPNs sell the information like you say ISPs do; that is why they are free. I like the added section about how some do that.
Your description of a honeypot isn't correct. Hotspots mostly have eavesdropping, then next most common is where it's a fake AP (either man in the middle where they are connected to the AP, or with it's own internet connection), to monitor the traffic or redirect it to a malicious site (through redirecting DNS)

Before 2022 I even could not understand what for VPN is needed. Nowadays in a country where I forced to live you cannot use internet without VPN, otherwise only local web-sites with propaganda are opened for users. Thanks clever people, who invented VPN and continue to make it more sophisticated to bypass government censorship and geographical restrictions on websites.

You should do animation of a OVH VPN and a NFO VPN like what is the difference?! Nice animation tho!

Wrong. Even if the VPN says it does not keep logs they could be. Never use a free VPN. Use an audited, open source VPN like Mullvad.

Just bc VPNs say they don’t keep logs makes it true? How about the CIA says they don’t run VPNs so then It must be true.

The best video I've found on YouTube ❤

Any chance of getting
"How the dark web works" or "How the TOR works"
I assume those are similar

Love your videos bro

Would really like to know - "who owns and controls these VPN companies?" Don't see companies like Google, Microsoft, Norton, etc. Are these VPN companies based in Eastern Europe, China, where? Who are the major shareholders? How can we be sure the VPN company does not do nefarious things to know our data that is not encrypted? How can we feel safe if the owner of the VPN is secret?

4:00 "your VPN does not keep a log"
How can you prove that statement? Technically they can.

@piotrmartyniuk125

"The VPN doesn't keep logs" sounds like Nord VPN actually directed this video and you had no choice.

The can chose to keep logs if they wanted to.
