My router supports wireshirk and I have a pi-hole recursive DNS on my local network. It’s been great

Great video, easy to understand with the simple animation. I don't quite understand how the Ad Network there knows who you are despite have connected through VPN, how did it do that?

By looking at your cookies, which will be the same regardless of whether you’re using a VPN or not. So having an adblocker helps stop cookies and prevent this

As someone who’s paranoid about their data it feels like a never-ending battle! I can’t believe people are so careless on what data is collected. It’s almost active privacy is fading! Sadly, the people that need to watch this won’t!

Running your own VPN server is much better and relatively easy to set up.
