Don't get caught short. VPNs can be valuable tools, but you have to be realistic. Understand what they can and can't do, pick the right one, and be a more savvy internet user.

I have used Express for years it's a little pricey but you stick with what works. Having said that any of the good VPN services are good. Norton, surf shark, cyber ghost, proton VPN . The good ones are good and the bad ones are bad. Just do some research and by a trustworthy one.

I dont trust vpns. I feel like any agency or govmt can get access to the servers. And now they have people thinking they are hiding them selves but actually they are pooling everyone into one spot to monitor.

I'm still none the wiser to be fair. I want the freedom to slate the government, and offend people through free speech without doing hard time in jail. Too much to ask?

@ericmessina91Which one’s best in UK and how much is it?
@Manc-fh5weVPN cannot hide your physical location. It can only hide your location based on IP (he mentioned gps but he’s mistaken kind of. The gps data websites track which is the gps data he’s referring to is not the same as your actual gps. It’s a much broader data set) but remember you also have a ridiculously accurate GPS in your pocket. And if you think a motivated party can’t get your gps location you are very mistaken.
Worse in the vast majority of devices you cannot actually fully turn of your GPS.
what if my vpn hides ipv4 and other date but not ipv6, should i worry about my privacy? thx
@RomanOmoTorrenting files isn't illegal.
@OrPhEeUsHello, my brother bought a vpn subscription named privatevpn. So my question is can he see what i am doing or looking?
@ercin2065I do live In a country which forbids vpn so what do I use ?
@mariaminari1341How does VPNs effects Apps, like Facebook?
@Chemo_SucksI need to hide my email address and IP address. I wouldn't be using the VPN for browsing...only for sending out emails. How would VPN work to allow me to do that? Does it assign me a new email address? Do emails from a VPN user often go to spam?
@ShandelarThis was amazing! I thank you!!
@mikegunter580I recently invested in Nord's dedicated IP address package, which has been a game-changer for me. Prior to purchasing this, I had been banned from all social media platforms due to my controversial political views and anti-vaccination stance. Unfortunately, I lost all my subscribers and the hard work I had put in overnight. Despite using VPNs, I would create new accounts, email addresses, and even reinstall Windows, but the platforms still detected and shadowbanned me. This cycle went on for years. However, once I acquired a dedicated IP address, I was able to regain my social media presence and my following is growing steadily. The key is to maintain good online behavior, as any misstep could result in being restricted again - down to just 3 likes per post. If you're facing similar challenges, I highly recommend considering Nord's dedicated IP address solution. Great video btw.
@MyBackupAccount89Everyone should have a VPN installed, especially when the government loves controlling and criminalizing people's thoughts. VPN and encryption for your drives. Learn it before they come for you.
@DaveThompsonfairlife4allI have tried Nord and Express but my speed drops over 70% while using them , turn them off and everything returns ( speed ) tried all the so called fixes nothing works ?
Great video many thanks . Subscribed
Suggest you use the generic 'GNSS', rather than 'GPS'.
@chrisross1703They are all crooks basically...Proxies all the way
@Crazy--ClownI deliberately leave things open where others can see them. It is intentional.
Then I use slight of hand and do others things they can't see.
Trail of breadcrumbs if you will.
I LET my ISP see quite a bit but not everything lol
VPN basically hides your source IP address.
HOWEVER, the browsers you use have GEO TRACKING built in. And that reveals your true IP address even if you have a VPN, use tunneling, etc.
Most VPN's will NOT let you torrent. And the ones that do, want your CC information (and that has your ID in it).
If you are dumb enough to use a cell phone, you deserve to be located and watched. Hacked.
If you are dumb enough to use Windoze or 'hackintosh', you deserve to be watched and such.
It takes a really concerted effort to hide online. It is not easy and requires constant diligence.
You are not worried about foreign governments seeing you unless they are part of the 'Five Eyes' countries. Then you better be really worried (if you do anything they do not like).
I would trust Russia or China long before my own government. At least I KNOW what they are doing and want to do.
Suggestion: Use multiple browsers at the same time. Each browser for a different purpose. And NOT one from microsoft or google.
Question: Is the choice of country important for security? I have heard people say to avoid The Five Eyes, The 14 Eyes, NATO, EU, etc. Should I use USA if I am in the USA? Does this matter with a good VPN company?
@richardjames6947The editing is phenomenal. Don't understand how you have so little subscribers.
@williamzou8669great production, hope you get the viewership.
