First rule of VPN's is never use one that advertises.
When I was a high schooler I bought one just to connect to websites outside of my schools restrictions 😅
Correct ✔. Only use obscure never-heard-of VPNs with zero mentions on any tech channels.
@@Derbauer That sounds sketchy af
@@MutedAndReported3032 Because it is sarcasm. Only go with VPNs that publicly stick their neck out on upholding privacy, and have court orders to prove no logs.
Finally someone that says it. I always hear my technologically impaired friends and family say "wow Im shocked you dont, you'd be the first person I thought who would."
This is something I always think about when I see a VPN Ad. Thank you Grant, you are sooo right with everything. There are very few use-cases. Nice desk btw :)
Thanks for the info. Have always debated using one but have never had a serious issue not having one
VPNs are best used as a site-to-site thing which makes it easier to selfhost stuff. Ideally from a computer you physically control at home. Tailscale is by far the best option for this. I'm a huge fan of them.
The other things no-log VPNs are good for is hiding in the crowd. Advertisers/etc. can use the IP Address as a signal to help identify a person (a strong data point among many), but with so many requests possibly coming from so many different users it becomes mostly noise. VPNs are also likely better configured, faster, and for less money than something you'll setup. Mullvad is my preferred option, but I also liked TorGuard.
Finally... lets not ignore that a huge reason to use no-log VPNs is for torrenting to avoid getting DCMAs and the lack of logs prevent them from knowing who to forward the letter to. If you run your own server tied to your name.... obviously they're just gonna forward the letter to the person using the server.
Lastly the best privacy system we've seen is Private Relay which makes it so the entry point (one provider) knows nothing about what you're doing except which other provider you want to talk to. Then your request is forwarded to that other provider which has no idea who the first provider is forwarding this for. You can do very similar things with running your own VPN to connect to a VPN service or via Mullvad's multi-hop support. Still Private Relay is extremely user friendly and cheap.
All very good points. Haven't tried Tailscale myself, I have heard great things about them.
@@collinsinfosec Thanks! just wanted to add some more to your already great points on how VPNs are *actually* useful. Great video
Have watched and read about this a lot, even though the content is the same I still loved the way you presented with references. Thank you
Excellent! Thanks Grant!!
Great video! Thank you
Thank you Grant for making this clear. So many people are confused and spreading false outdated information about his.
Question:
1. Why still use OpenVPN? It's not quite straight to the point if you really need it anyway with enforcing HTTPS.
2. And why is DNS over HTTPS causing more problems than it solves?
Have a nice day.
google is free brother
Do you have a macbook? Is it good for cybersec?
I work in software sales in the remote access space. VPN technology especially off the firewall seems to be clunky for end users. It appears that zero trust and an SDP model is the way of the future for accessing content securely.
I agree! Although zero-trust has become the new "buzzword." The concept itself is effective.
Thank you.
I mean everyone knows VPNs arent gonna let u hack the CIA without a trace but theyre good for stopping any types of browser tracking and also for keeping your stuff private from your ISP. If youre an every day internet user who just wants to browse privately then theyre fine
Do you use a MacBook now? Do you prefer your MB or windows. Love your vids btw!
That's my work laptop. First time I have ever used an Apple MacBook. I hate Apple. But the experience has actually been rather pleasant 😂 will likely move to Windows 11 for my daily because of the programs I use for YT. And thank you for the kind words!
Love your videos
Hey Grant 👋
What should i learn after IT Fundamentals?
I suggest the Cyber security fundamentals and start with some IT projects!
Does adjusting your geographical location using a VPN still work with streaming services? Thought they prevented that now... also great vid :)
I still use it for netflix from time to time.
Good video man
Ever want to teach how to setup openvpn
The way you set up the desk as if it was your main station LOL
The intro though 🤣🤣
I just started learning networking and cybersecurity.. this is interesting but I need more info. Can you do a video showing how to set up your own vpn?
Added to my queue! Great idea 👍
@@collinsinfosec bro what job are you in right now?
What about tor?
haha, i like the humor
Not a tek guy, but about to embark into software dev. I like the idea of building a vpn. Mainly to be out of licking range of lizard ppl
Would vpns be effective against ddos attacks?
It depends. If you are masking your IP address with a VPN server, then yes. But there are other types of DDoS attacks beyond Layer 3 (network layer), such as Layer 7 HTTP GET and POST attacks. Generally speaking, for end-users, they will not have to worry about DoS.
Just use Mac changer to temporarily stop ddos attack it will force your IP address to be changed in ip private address
Hey Grant ! 😎
Hello 👋
Ill buy dee boo da vpn🙂
I like being tracked...I search weird things and they will be terrified looking it😂
Anyways... really informative video 👍🏼
Sir like everytime one more question
How much it costs to study in Missouri University per Annam
It depends on scholarships, out of state fees, etc. But likely around $20,000 - $30,000
@@collinsinfosec iam from india but can I get scholarship
Not private and not a network
Perfect privacy
What about vpns for torrenting?
That's a valid point, something I didn't fully consider. Although I understand why one would use VPNs for torrenting, you will often run into copyright (gray area) of the Internet for the actual content you are downloading. Still a valid point if it's legal content being downloaded.
@Russian Invasion of Ukraine nice
@@collinsinfosec would you consider games and movies legal or illegal?
It's all about money! .... Say no more man👍.
goat
'you and I' or 'you and me'?...what a conundrum!
Mental Outlaw has great content too for anyone wondering
He is awesome.
if this video was sponsored by Vpn company, this would be epic
It was! The DerBooDah VPN. A nonexistent VPN provider.
I have terrible humor.
@@collinsinfosec You could sell it even it is nonexistent by giving a scam-link :) That would be a real humor man
I don't believe I need a Vpn tho just not really important tho actually tho I think it is to me they think I believe I am in danger what do you mean I am fine right know anyways.
Haha PPTP
Proton VPN > *
If you just use the internet for general purposes, you don’t need to bother with a VPN. However, for the people who actually “need” one, Proton is imo an easy go to choice (and an obvious one). I think people should focus less on why it’s probably be useless for regular people not to waste their time with VPN’s and focus on why they shouldn’t wasted their time and *money* with Anti-Virus software. The bloatware and uselessness of them isn’t as common knowledge as why you don’t need a VPN. As mentioned, the amount of videos and articles on “Don’t bother with VPNs” is way more abundant.
only provider I trust is mullvad #mullvad gang
🤘
the only nessesary vpn is self hosted vpn
Finally
make your own vpn, it’s extremely easy
xD
Dee Boo Dah
HAHHAHAHAH someone actually is doing it right i feel sry for the people who fall for this scams ffs user TOR best VPN ever and free
First
Hello first commentor :)
Flat earth is the model for how the internet works . Just think how it will be hard with a ball model earth!!!😅
Video was extremely similar to cyberspartial with bit lower production quality. No hate but wanted you to cover unique topics
Valid point. I did say this video is a recycled video from many out there at 0:47. Thought I would address this topic since I receive many questions about which VPN is the best.
@@collinsinfosec no foul, keep rocking
