The Real Deal with VPNs (Don't Trust VPN Ads)

You're not listening to your favourite audiobook on Audible?

you re roasting like 50% or more of big to mid or even low youtubers, and i love it

Loool I can’t stop laughing...

Yea especially since all vpn ads read very similar, I hate when companies don’t let creators deliver sponsored segments the way they want to. They follow the script almost as closely as raid shadow legends ads.

@@baconaterlover5399 Affiliate links are way better but still not good

Blue baby stinks! baby hush is better

@@baconaterlover5399 I always find it funny whenever those ads have them say lines like 'this has quickly become my favorite game of all time!', because that's so clearly bullshit.

Haha nice sum up

and took it back after getting keyholes and even less with snake cameras

Even less once they found out most doors used similar locks so they just make lockpicks for that

though even those you have to pay for

Black films

There are news articles where some vpns got sued to give details on X individual but they cant give the logs since they dont keep them. And a few were discovered snitching to the fbi Then you could make your own vpn somewhere but then you could have problems with those companies having your billing information and needing an account to make the things. Pick your own poison and try to not commit too many crimes

Lmao that's genius. Honestly they must all be honeypots. Or at least downloading a VPN flags you in the NSA database.

That’s why i opted for a VPN that’s not Nord EDIT: if you’re curious, it’s ExpressVPN

Private Internet Access at the least doesn't keep any logs on user traffic, and has proven so in court multiple times

Tbf nord wasn’t the first VPN to be popular, and even before that there are plenty of options to hide your history, and most people good with computers could do it beforehand

THANK YOU!! "Pay us to steal your data so we can sell it

@@HunterPhenomMakoy except that's not possible. All the password managers secured with a master password. That master password is typically hashed and so it becomes very difficult for the company to see your passwords

@Logan Levulett hol up, WHAT?!?!

Agreed. There are a lot of youtubers I like/trust on a basic level. But like everyone else, they’re just trying to get paid. Definitely not buying what they sponsor 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Logan Levulett WHAT?

Yup, I do the same with YT ads. Like the colgate optic white ad. Since I hate the ad I stopped using colgate products and started buying another brand. (I Know it doesn't affect the company, but the ad is making me do the opposite of what is supposed to) And I know I'm not the only one doing that.

@Logan Levulett Oh boi, gotta uninstall that one quickly. Thanks for the heads up.

I saw in one of these RU-vid sponsored bits that one of the selling points of Nord in their website is that it works in China 😂

@@appalachiabrauchfrau Eeeexactly. From vehicles to issued kit & clothing. Military grade doesn’t mean the best, it just designates “this is the cheapest we could get without something falling apart within 2-3 years”. The *only* instance I have found “military grade” things to be better than commercial grade are in the night vision world. Night vision intensifier manufacturers like L3Harris and Elbit Systems of America will purposely bin intensifiers that meet 18UM military spec requirements. Everything below these thresholds get sold on the civilian/commercial market. Typically, these commercial intensifiers have small blemishes or “dark spots” inside. A lot of people will choose to save $400-500 and simply buy commercial spec intensifiers for their NVG’s.

Unfortunately, most of the people are not that smart like you.

Not sure it's truth though. You might be thinking, that if you haven't bought some shit immediately after an ad - then you're safe, but actually there are lot's of ads, which work just for brand recognition. So month and years after you saw an ad, you still might connect some specific product with some brand (i.e., like Xerox) , or in case where you need to buy something you have no experience with - you still might end with the choice you've heard of

@@f23anone82 What I meant is that I've never seen an ad/a youtube shill then went "oh yeah, let me go buy that". You're right, there is no escape from advertisements. It is just impossible, but I do research everything I want to buy, especially if it was heavily advertised.

@@f23anone82 IMO the difference is in the state of mind when you make a purchase. I prefer to search up a few alternatives or at least do a little research of my options. I might choose the very same product I saw in an ad, but the decision was mine in a pace dictated by me. I didn't let an ad decide for me by making me do an on-the-spot purchase.

VPN good to prevent random dudes from looking at what you do on internet in public. VPN good to prevent internet service provider from seeing your website stuff. VPN good for hiding IP and allowing access to otherwise blocked content. VPN gives data to VPN company instead. VPN claims they don't keep data. Trust factor is added. But, user has no way of knowing if VPN is lying. Basically using a VPN is trusting the VPN company instead of internet service company. Doesn't really change anything

Basically you don't really have more privacy with VPN than without as you're simply transferring it over to the VNP servers so don't know what is collected, but it is more secure when using a public unsecured wi-fi vs not using VPN. VPNs can be used to mask your location but not reliably.

I have a bit of a conspiracy theory that some of these VPN companies simply shill for the likes of Netflix. Both parties get something out of it. VPN companies get customers thinking they're getting this great workaround, and Netflix have indirectly given more people an incentive to use their service, while also having plausible deniability if media companies come at them with lawsuits.

@@jakerockznoodles makes sense

They have tried to block VPN usage on Netflix, many times, VPN's continue to code around these blocks and its currently a growing war between vpn's and vpn blockers concerning Netflix and other paid streaming services.

Long story short: VPN is only good for piracy and region locked content.

you nailed it.

Same thing happened during Prohibition in the States. Wine making kits were legally sold, and the instructions given actually started with words to the effect of, "Do not follow these instructions or you will make wine".

It's also why, when your local head shop sells bongs, they call them "water pipes" and explicitly state they're for "legal tobacco use only". In fact, the shop will usually kick you out if you even say "bong". By the way, why hasn't a reggae group named an album "Legal Tobacco Use Only" yet?

They're even worse. Basically every piece of running software increases the chance of one of them having a security vulnerability. And in order to work malware scanners have to run with system privileges. So when one of them has a vulnerability a piece of malware can target that and easily gain entrance to your system. This has happened in the past and will keep happening.

SPEAKING of mcaffe, my laptop (an hp laptop i got from my grandma) keeps getting mcaffe popups. every time i turn it on. sometimes ill be playing creatures of sonaria and trying to run from a jot or smth and BOOM, mcaffe popup preventing me from moving my mouse until i interact with it and tell it no like 50 times.

That’s just not true. Nowadays that windows has its own anti malware scanner that works very well yes it’s kind of true, because Windows Defender does a very good job and replacing it with another anti virus isn’t going to help. But in general anti virus is very good at detecting known malware. Which is 99%+ of attacks an average consumer and most companies will face. Even most complicated attacks will eventually just upload and execute a piece of known malware to your computer or server. So even if the actual vulnerability isn’t patched it adds a layer of protection. The thread of facing an attack that will leverage your anti malware is very small compared to the chance that it will stop a known malware from running. There is a reason a lot of liability insurance will require anti malware software. Yes anti malware isn’t very helpful against very targeted attacks by skilled hackers but that’s just something most companies and private persons don’t face. Security is always relative it’s not absolute and it’s a cost/benefits calculation. Every bike lock can be broken in seconds with the right tools. But yet you wouldn’t claim that locking your bike Is useless. Now if your running a Linux desktop antivirus is not needed because common viruses are just not developed for Linux because it has too few users so it’s not worth the effort for malware authors. It’s a different story for servers actually anti malware does a decent job of detecting bitcoin mining scripts, php shells and a lot of other stuff hackers will upload to Linux servers.

in my opinion navy otters are cuter

military grade encryption is probably worse than your number to number messaging app

Seals but on Mac pros 🦭

VPNs are not made for the "average consumer" they are made for people that have some sort of understanding on how networking works. The "average consumer" doesn't know what an IP is or how a VPN routes your traffic. A vpn provider could say "We don't keep Logs" and when you read their TOS or the fine print they say that they do.

What about travel to China

@@coolwin7710 You are seriously underestimating the effort of these ad campaigns. The average consumer has seen a VPN add enough times to recite it by now. As such they have just enough knowledge to think they need it. This is what happens when you run adds everywhere all the time like this.

@@Lowlightt The problem is that VPN ads spread misinformation, such as the fact that you can protect your privacy online. When you create an account with a VPN, chances are you are asked for an attribute that connects to your real identity. VPN ads state that a VPN is a magic tool that will protect your privacy and they are right and wrong. For example, if you use a VPN for gaming, you are increasing your security and privacy by hiding your IP address to prevent DDOS attacks and doxxing. However, if you sign up for a social media account on main platforms, you will be asked for a phone number, which is linked to your identity, which defeats the whole purpose.

It looks like the shield (the VPN) is blocking the red glow (the hackers). But yeah, it does look a lot like they’re sending it to them...

@@everythingiseconomics9742 I can, but links aren't allowed here. One of a few artists I follow on Twitter had his Crunchyroll account banned specifically for the use of VPN. I highly doubt he's the only one.

@@fsLeg That’s CrunchyRoll, though … you said Netflix. However, your point still _kinda_ stands, but I believe the ban isn’t solely for using a VPN unless the termination message of the account specifically states it as being the reason (which I haven’t seen yet). You have to remember: streaming sites with a monthly subscription check and log where your account is signing in from/accessing it. Ever sign up for something and later get a notification stating “a new device has logged in from (city, country)”? Most sites keep tabs on that stuff. When you sign up for these sites and enter payment information for the services, there’s usually a system in place to keep tabs on where you’re signing up from and they monitor where your devices connect from. For instance, mine will always show 2-3 certain devices that is connected from a local town that the IPs will always point to (a general area). It’s been that way for 8-9 years. Now if I start using a VPN and changing it to a different country every time I go to watch something, and start accessing the other profiles on the account from other countries through that VPN, as well, then the system isn’t going to flag me from using a VPN. The system is going to think my account has been “hacked” with my login information being abused. Continuously doing that and never having my usual IP on that account again is a good way to get the account removed, which is what I think these companies are doing instead. They don’t _know_ specifically what VPN you’re using or if you’re even using one. They’re just gonna’ think your account is no longer a yours and taking measure to lock said account. Forgot to add: The majority of VPNs are using banned IPs. That’s one way they’ll know (the only way they’ll really even know). If you’re using a VPN that a lot of others use and you connect to an IP they’ve banned, then yeah, they’ll think “VPN” or “abuse of the account login” or do a combo of the two and terminate. Lesson: stop using shitty VPNs. People saying they’ve been banned probably log in from the banned IPs using “free” VPNs and do it so often.

But do VPN companies like Nord VPN make that possible? My work has its own VPN that lets employees connect their home computers as if they were on our LAN. But it’s not a big, international VPN like Nord. It’s just a free service our router offers.

When I was young, it was Tunngle and Hamachi or something like that. Seldom did the latter work. I don't know if games nowadays release in such a way that those methods work anymore. The most common one we used it for was Warcraft 3 before Reforged. A lot of port forwarding talk and such that made hosting and joining a hassle. It was probably our modems all that time, because they were from the ISP itself and they're not known for being good. But use Tunngle and those problems ceased to be. Others can also join, so it's like the logged in option, except everything works. But the best thing about LAN working with something like Tunngle, is that you can go back and play the old version. Legally you can't or at least legally you can't get the old game anymore, probably. Piracy as always being the way to preserve games, old and new.

bandwidth would be the main issue, a 5mb average upload speed can't sustain much, you're in an extremely small minority if your yours is 50mb or higher. You could probably make it work with enough users but that would be way more than the onions we have right now

The only problem with that is you would have people doing all kinds of dodgy stuff from your ip and you have no control over it. Just ask anyone who runs a tor exit node the problems they run into.

@@wilfridtaylor yeah... I guess ip addresses would be reversable even if you are sending stuff over https. Every website would have to implement tor hidden node functionality.

Firefox now supports dns over https

the problem is that you need to ask the server for whole files (unless you want half a website), so time correlation attacks are still a thing, since the server can log which entry points got the data, and then you could correlate which time packets of the same size got to the isp and now it may even be easier since you need less data. you might wanna look at the etherum network which might be capable of such since data isn't stored on a single server. also you still run into the freedom dilemma since making hiding easy for regular people is also making it easy for bad actors (though there's a fine line between heroic resistance and terrible terrorism.)

piracy, shady business, unblock sites, and watch region lockde stuff.
