    Privacy and security is a constant, ever-changing effort. Before choosing a VPN, you have to think about your threat model.
    Who are you worried about, the ISP? The government and/or three letter agencies? Big corporations like Google or Microsoft? Your parents? The school/university? Advertisement companies?
    Each answer requires different efforts, and it also depends on what exactly you don't want them knowing.

    Go to a random relative's, who doesn't know much about internet security, house, set up a server in their attic connected to their router via ethernet, open ports that only you would access, install a local VPN service on the server, connect to it via your own machine at home. Boom, perfectly private internet. (Can be improved by going to a stranger's house and doing it there instead)

    • @MrPir84free
      @MrPir84free 6 месяцев назад +6

      You don't need a server. You don't need to get into the attic either; most attics aren't cooled, so not the best place for electronics anyways.
      A good many wifi routers already have VPN servers already built in as really most routers are just linux servers; with a few packages installed, and a configuration file or two later, it then hosts a vpn server. It'd be relatively easy to configure one, then gift it to someone, and voila.. However, your connections would still come from your home to theirs, and most would log the connection, or at least see the connection if someone digs into the matter. Won't do you any good after a hard reset either, which is the default action when someone has an network issue. There are legal concerns however as well; if you are caught...
      But then you could simply use the TOR browser, or get a router that already has TOR configured with a "slider" switch to turn it on.

It wouldn't be as secure as Tor, but it'd be an extra layer that non-Tor browsers could use.

      The only problem with Tor is that it is slow because it builds every web page from scratch. Some ISPs and countries won't work with Tor so you need a bridge to bypass censorship of Tor.

    Ending of video was hilarious, I was still in the middle of the video thinking it would be funny if you put nordVpn ads at the end, we probably think the same way.

    Any five eyes based VPN has to give over logs when subpoenaed. It is the law in those countries. They also cannot inform the customer of it.

    • @Nixeu42
      @Nixeu42 5 месяцев назад

      I'm pretty sure they just have to start keeping logs. Possibly only on specific users. Not sure, though. But yes, outsourcing your security when doing things your federal government objects to is a bad idea. I'm not sure why that's shocking to anyone. Then again, I do have this bad habit of assuming people bother to inform themselves of risks before doing things.

  • @intergalacticalcommiteeofp9807
    @intergalacticalcommiteeofp9807 Месяц назад

    That's why I only use the VPN that I have worked for before, so I know what at the very least customer support sees when you contact them and how the data is collected to report a technical problem. Still, I only really use VPNs to bypass geoblocking.
    Also I don't pay for it, it was included in a bundle with another service my mom pays for.

    @alicethegrinsecatz6011 6 месяцев назад

    I don't not even have to move outside. Just dis- & reconnecting my router or my phone gives me a new IPv4 address because the providers in most countries around the world dynamically distributes the IPv4 addresses to all newly dialing-in devices based on what is currently free, and again when you log out of the provider's network assign to the next user who's connecting to the provider's network. So, I always have a radom IP from a Telekom server with the lowest latency when I reconnect. That's why business contracts claim static IP addresses as a selling point.

    • @tech-bore8839
      @tech-bore8839 6 месяцев назад +9

      It's true. However, the problem for most people is going to be the speed. You're not going to be streaming videos at the same speed as you would without TOR. That's one of the reasons why VPNs have become massive, because there's not a huge sacrifice to internet speeds.

      Tor is more private, in the sense that there isn't one centralized authority controlling the traffic. But it is much slower and relies on the entry and exit nodes also not being controlled by a single entity.
