My idea is that a Decentralized VPN is better, because you do not have to rely on a third party which means you are the owner of your own data. We may be in the early stages, but decentralization is the future.
Dude, I've watched a lot of your videos over the years. I've learned a lot from you, I owe you a lot of thanks. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff and for making it available, it's such a huge thing. Thanks for breaking down the individual components of the IT world and making them understandable. You really helped me man. Know that.
+Afro Head Pretty happy with HideMyAss www.hidemyass.com/vpn/r20533/ myself, it doesn't saturate my cable connection, but it's definitely fast enough. You have to connect to certain servers for torrent ports. Not using torrents anymore but when I was, speed didn't seem to be an issue for me on those servers.
The best teacher online!!! Lectures are very interesting and easy to understand!!! You can read thousands of technical books about VPN and still not understand the meaning!!Continue what you doing man!!!
Few people, however, realize that the Web was born at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, and that it was invented by an Englishman, Tim Berners-Lee
for every1 complaining about "left ear thing" just pull out the 3.5 mm jack about 1 mm from the place , that should spread contact to both speakers ....or just pull them out all the way and listen on computer speakers ;)
Very useful video! You get straight to the point and do a good job of explaining the underlying technologies, much better than a lot of RUclips channels that dumb things down far too much, and just tell you what a VPN does - something you could Google in about two minutes.
dude just wanted to let you know your videos are really well written. I'm a Network Engineer and I listen to your videos for refreshers. you really know what your talking about. keep it up!
Thank you very much for this---I appreciate it a lot, very concise and organized with effective synopses at each end of the chapters. Very well done. Edit: You got my subscription for life.
Summary: 1. VPN creates a tunnel between server and client where all the transmitted data is encrypted. 2. When a hacker tries to break into the tunnel, then the tunnel closes up and creates a new tunnel. 3. Upload speeds matter for VPN
Eli thank you for breaking it down, It really makes more sense to me know I had somewhat of an idea about it but I feel more confident that I can now explain it and troubleshoot VPNs now. Thanks just as everyone says you are truly amazing.
ELI! Thanks for the videos you are doing a terrific job at explaining and simplifying the technical bull**** into relevant language and examples. I wanted to offer a suggestion. . . with all due respect. I think you should create a "Course Test" for each video that folks like myself can take to enforce the concepts of your video training. I think you could be huge!! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the computer/networking world.
This is the first time I'm EVER commenting on a video and man your videos are just awsome!! Elli , your videos are simplified yet complete . Thanks for it.
You have some audio problem with this video, I'm on a headphone, the audio on the left side is louder than on the right and I've also got some noises here
Indonesia I can hear through my left ear it is so irritating I checked both my headphones with the same results; hyper cloud x and astro's 40's. and the right ear is fuzz
i literally had to stop the video to write a thank you comment! The video is brilliant and your explaining methods are great! Thank you for making this video Eli!
HideMyAss passed on their activity logs when asked to by authorities. This helped in the arrest of LulzSec members. If security/anonymity is your concern (I'd assume it is if you're using VPN's) then best to look at providers that don't keep these logs. HideMyAss keeps log on and log off times, at the very least, and will pass them onto authorities when asked to do so. Doubt anyone serious would recommend them these days.
To fix the annoying sound problem with this video, try this quick fix (Windows 10): 1. Right click volume icon on taskbar, and go to *Playback Devices* 2. Click on the sound device you are using (typically your speakers/headphones) and click on *Properties* 3. Go to the *Enhancements" tab, and enable *Headphone Virtualization*/ 4. You will need to reload this RUclips video for it to take effect. You should now get sound on both speakers/headphones.
It all started to fall apart when you suggested the US military invented the internet. Actually, it was Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee, OM, KBE, FRS, FREng, FRSA, DFBCS (born 8 June 1955), also known as "TimBL", a British computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web.
For you that have problems with the audio on left ear only do this (for windows 10). Hit start and search for: ease of access. Then go to: Sound. activate mono sound.
Many many Compliments Eli you're are born teacher ! I just discovered your teaching lessons(folllowed 2 of them) and I am impressed ! Thanks very much!
"Here in Baltimore, we have a man named Freddy Gray, and in four years, he will be assaulted and murdered by members of our police department, sparking protests and civil unrest, which will be very very very bad for data transfer speeds."
yeah, the problem with you're comment is that those things actually correlate. Virtual Private Networking was built for safely communicating during a time of crisis. You should give this guy a listen, he speaks in terms an elementary student would understand but the subjects are definitely college-grade.
think of this Internet traffic is a river You connect a pipe from one end to the other in that river. That pipe is a tunnel in that river. With VPN the pipe structure is encrypted coding that is with other internet traffic, but it is structurally unique
I appreciate the metaphor, but I understand what a real-life tunnel is. And I understand how information sent/received can be encrypted. But I still don't understand what the walls of the tunnel are made of. The tunnel in the river may be made out of metal or concrete. But what can a tunnel mean regarding internet traffic?
well to understand that, you have to understand how packets of information flow over the internet basically it will be layer - 1st header[where it is going/from] 2nd data 3 header. in encryption the packet is like this - 1st header 2nd encryption 3 data 4 encryption 5 header. Technically this isn't exact, but for a basic idea, easier to understand this is how it works. but research packet TCP/IP to really understand
Im trying to research how to bypass internet censorship, Turkey is thinking about blocking youtube and facebook and I wana know are VPNs the best way to get around this?? I allready know that proxys cant do vids so no good for youtube, would the same thing occure in a VPN?? Im aware of TOR but am reluctant as quite chunky and slow. As intresting as the deep web seems, im totally freaked out about going there and only wana use youtube/facebook so is really gonna be my very last plan.
Try this VPN I use it, It's very affordable and it has great features. My friends in Turkey are using it and works great for them www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/buy-vpn/EMILYLIFE Hope this helps you!
The internet was created by a British Computer Scientist (Sir Tim Berners-Lee). Typical American arrogance... You call yourself a computer guy yet you fall for the myth/urban legend that it was created by the US military to combat nuclear war. A quote for you: "The widespread urban legend that the Internet was designed to resist a nuclear attack likely arose as a result of Baran's earlier work on packet switching, which did focus on redundancy in the face of a nuclear "holocaust" Read up on it...
Common misconception. Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web, not the internet. They are different things. The internet stems from ARPAnet which is indeed American military based. Berners Lee invented the Language we now use on the internet, web browsers, hyperlinks etc. The infrastructure was the internet, the way we communicate over it is the World Wide Web...
He reminds me of a tech support guy I worked with while I was with Computervision back in the 80's. His name was Steve something or other. He's like most guys on youtube, they take a long time to get to the point. Their video could be about 1/3 as long and still cover the same material.
I've been watching these videos for quite some time and the content is very good, Eli's knowledgeable about everything he talks about but you would expect "Eli the COMPUTER Guy" to have his audio working properly haha! keep uploading man!
Eli you re so good at teaching new things to me, I use your channel as google for everything I want to know more on, like "vpn eli the computer guy". Thanks man!
HMA is priced pretty reasonably. In fact, last year they had massive discounts in the summer ( I think August) and for the Holidays (December). I think I got the whole year for $60. It's in their blog.
Just learnt a whole lot about VPN's from a prisoner.
Many people don't know what a prisoner did before he was arrested.
+Naffi Axx I believe it was a joke about how he was wearing orange ;3
+The Sushi hahahahahahaah
+The Sushi This made me laught so hard xD
woyeeeee
Well explained! What do you think about decentralized VPN then? Is it safer than a traditional VPN?
My idea is that a Decentralized VPN is better, because you do not have to rely on a third party which means you are the owner of your own data. We may be in the early stages, but decentralization is the future.

"He tries to penetrate your tunnel"
Couldn't resist.
kek
Had a good wee chuckle to myself there.
Hmm I need to get into the tunnel now.
grow up.
YOu nasty man :()
Why do so many people not know anything about their audio configurations, and then brag about it. Thank you guys for making me smile.
I want to protect my tunnel from penetration. Thank you for the info.
Few people, however, realize that the Web was born at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in Geneva, and that it was invented by an Englishman, Tim Berners-Lee

Thanks
and everyone trying this note it only works on one side of the cable if you're using an aux
it worked 😀😀
Not many people can teach as good as this guy!
Agreeed!! :)
@@MEN101 I heard its quiet good.
Its hard to loose focus in his lessons, where as so many Vloggers just bore you the hell out.This guy is spontanous and keeps it interesting.
Alon Fisher I never had any issues
@@MEN101 It is quite worthwhile. I want to learn to make my own customised VPN though.
Very useful video! You get straight to the point and do a good job of explaining the underlying technologies, much better than a lot of RUclips channels that dumb things down far too much, and just tell you what a VPN does - something you could Google in about two minutes.
You're RUclips's top computer guy. You simplify everything and make it easy for beginners to understand many different IT concepts. Good video!
just wanted to say that you are great bro, appreciate what you doin.keep it up
"Penetrate your tunnel"
You must be a wizard to not start giggling after like the 5th time you said that lol
literally thought i was the only one who smiled lol
I am from Dubai and YAY someone noticed us
Adel adil Ya, I think ya'll r much more chill than ur Saudi neighbors tbh. Do u live in Dubai proper or just in the area?
Thank you Eli , Your Devotion and desire to share knowledge is an attribute I frankly admire in you. Welcome To kenya

You can hear from both speakers if you unplug the headphones jack a little bit
Eli you are the best teacher I have ever seen, I wish I watched your videos back when I had to make a career choice.
You have some audio problem with this video, I'm on a headphone, the audio on the left side is louder than on the right and I've also got some noises here

Loda mera
This is the only video I've seen so far on VPN that actually truly explained what VPN is. Thank you.
Eli has secured his girlfriend's tunnel with VPN
hahahahaha
hahahahahahahahaha. Lol
awesome!

You are really great at communicating. Not very many people do this repetition of information. Thank you.
To fix the annoying sound problem with this video, try this quick fix (Windows 10):

4. You will need to reload this RUclips video for it to take effect.
You should now get sound on both speakers/headphones.

thanks that helped!
I should not have to "try" any quick fixes from a "computer guy" seriously!!

Dude explained VPN quicker and more easily understandable than all of my college classes. This is sad.
As old as this vid is, it's still a comprehensive VPN for dummies that's well explained. Thanks
Wow.. Are you a lecturer? I really enjoy the way you explain things...
Gianpaolo Pazzini are u a penguin?
within 54 seconds of listening to this video, I learned more than in half an hour of reading from various websites.
This Eli the computer guy is awesome!
As a first timer in VPN , I understand now how VPN works. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Had my earphones switched around and so I thought the left ear jokes were all sarcasm.
+James Martin lol
Neville Lusimba HAHAHA Some Dumb Shit, Right?
James Martin thats right..i thought it was twisted thinking..funny though
I'm a compute sciences student and your videos have helped me a lot for my studies. Thank you very much !
If this video is in any way invading my privacy or tracking my connection, it looks like my right ear has a VPN.
I seems like yesterday when I was watching Eli The Computer Guy and learning both Computer stuff and English. It's been a decade though. Time flies.
My Right ear understands. My left on the other ear.....
Your speakers are backwards. On headphones it's the left.
Always learn everything from his videos, way better than paid ones or any other on youtube
you are awesome! I am happy for every video because I am automatically relieved, that there is someone who can explain it like a god :)
xXnoXx com

i hope you get to millions soon ... one million is nothing for you ... learned a lot from you over years . THANK YOU
So well explained and interesting. Really enjoy the real work application.

Please come back next year to change it to 21. Thanks ❤❤❤
For you that have problems with the audio on left ear only do this (for windows 10). Hit start and search for: ease of access. Then go to: Sound. activate mono sound.
My left ear greatly enjoyed this.
Many many Compliments Eli you're are born teacher ! I just discovered your teaching lessons(folllowed 2 of them) and I am impressed ! Thanks very much!
My left ear really enjoyed this video, right ear not so much...
My left ear loved this. Partly because it was the only ear that got any sound through the headphones.
Take a shot every time he says "penetrate the tunnel".
I want to say big thank you. You are a great teacher and you explain things clearly, intelligibly and simply.
Nice one Eli, that was very informative. Should solve my problems
My left ear just learned VPN!! It is attaining more and more knowledge as I am diving deep into your channel!
I like your videos a lot! You are a great teacher man, great work!
Eli, when are we gonna see you shaved? :)
"Here in Baltimore, we have a man named Freddy Gray, and in four years, he will be assaulted and murdered by members of our police department, sparking protests and civil unrest, which will be very very very bad for data transfer speeds."
came here for VPN but I am hearing talks of nuclear bombs ...
Eli talks about all types of things, worth the listen if you have patience.
warrengonline first time listening to him, man, he's the best!
yeah, the problem with you're comment is that those things actually correlate. Virtual Private Networking was built for safely communicating during a time of crisis. You should give this guy a listen, he speaks in terms an elementary student would understand but the subjects are definitely college-grade.
Oh my god, it has been 10 years but still valuable to me!
I still don't understand what a "tunnel" really is. What is the tunnel made of?
good question i would like to know the answer too
think of this
Internet traffic is a river
You connect a pipe from one end to the other in that river.
That pipe is a tunnel in that river.
With VPN the pipe structure is encrypted coding that is with other internet traffic, but it is structurally unique
I appreciate the metaphor, but I understand what a real-life tunnel is. And I understand how information sent/received can be encrypted. But I still don't understand what the walls of the tunnel are made of.
The tunnel in the river may be made out of metal or concrete. But what can a tunnel mean regarding internet traffic?
Brainbuster walls of the tunnel are made of bricks and grout..
well to understand that, you have to understand how packets of information flow over the internet
basically it will be layer - 1st header[where it is going/from] 2nd data 3 header.
in encryption the packet is like this - 1st header 2nd encryption 3 data 4 encryption 5 header.
Technically this isn't exact, but for a basic idea, easier to understand this is how it works. but research packet TCP/IP to really understand
Great description for a person who is not technical! Thank you!
Excellent teaching.
man this is the video i needed. im completely new to this stuff your videos are always great!
Eli the computer guy you are awesome! Keep going

if your internet is slow, your gonna have a bad time
not of you write a script to auto activate load balancing.
You make all technologys look so easy and simple. Thank you
I can advise a good VeePN. Works on all platforms, also high speed and full privacy
Thanks for video.
VPN topic starts from 10:02
Thanks for info... ps: Don't walk near prison with this shirt :) #truth
Eli, thank you for this. I'm studying for the security+ and you just cleared the muddy waters of VPN.
anyone in 2019?
You better not penetrate my tunnel. LMFAO
Wow, been watching through the whole Networking playlist, and you've lost a lot of weight... looking good! Dat neck hair doe... :-P
Thank you so much. To a beginner in this field of study you really broke it down nicely and gave great examples of real world scenarios. Thank again!
A tech wiz can't get audio right.
I've been watching these videos for quite some time and the content is very good, Eli's knowledgeable about everything he talks about but you would expect "Eli the COMPUTER Guy" to have his audio working properly haha! keep uploading man!
Just got a suscriber!
Thank you so much, Eli. I knew nothing, and now I know a lot.
My left ear feels lonely.
Put the headphone jack partially into the 3.5mm tunnel and both your ear tunnels will be engaged.
+Prasanth Valsan - nice tip dude!
best videos on vpn ever made
bro, the audio is awful, just saying.
Who is watching in April 2019? Thanks Eli
i am watching lydia, how are you?
YAY Dubai people are cool :P
hi sir
Eli you re so good at teaching new things to me, I use your channel as google for everything I want to know more on, like "vpn eli the computer guy". Thanks man!
can i use VPN to anonymously serf the internet
Indeed you can my good man.
VPN is for privacy, not anonymity.
Brainbuster what is for anonymity then ?
