Makes sense
Ive been saying this shit since day one
"All vpns that can be advert and sponsor on clearweb are guarenteed honeypots with compliance of every law known to man and therefor offer zero true privacy"
Im so distrusting of most vpns that i didnt even pay for the one I use. Literally just bought a textfile of an SQL scrape and one of em was able to log into a lifetime Vypr
If anything thats the way to do it.
Awesome video man, hey quick question just purchased nord vpn trying to play on fanduel they still see that I'm in California with vpn on? Know why this is?
Here's a thought, Gov VPN. lol.
There are so many alternatives in nord, xpress, cyberghost and etc. is
Tor, Softether, OpenVPN, Wireguard, SSH Injector (SSH, so slow as Tor or as fast as normal ISP; depends on your servers)
note: softether and openvpn is pretty underrated and also wireguard…
What really scares me is the fact that in the image at 1:17 they have correctly drawn me as a hedgehog. How could they possibly know this?
This video needed to be a VPN AD

it's easy enough to spoof your user agent with a plugin.
Great family-friendly content! Keep it up, four-eyed catman.
Wtf I had always assumed that vpns changed your user agent. Good to know
Haha you did it again. 0:16 you say the word shill and then you immediately bend over. Who do you think you're fooling? You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. At this point I want to interview you in voice chat because I know you know more than you're letting on in your videos.
Hi Mental Outlaw. I really appreciate your video. Its technically accurate. Personally I still use VPNs since I really don't trust any Internet Service Provider and want to protect my Internet activity from people that are trying to snoop in on my Internet Activity within the LAN. Although you did mention most websites are protected by SSL/TLS–that all by itself is not enough. You also want the website to support Strict Transport Layer Security. Surprisingly, many important commercial websites don't have this. Including several online banks.
I just use tor
You missed the biggest point.
The purpose of a VPN is not just an encrypted web proxy. It's intended to securely extend LAN services over the internet. Of course, the big commercial VPN providers generally don't allow using their services in this way. The fact that is useful as a web proxy is merely a side-effect.
I don't want twitter to log me so they can't ban me based on IP address for a ban I didn't even deserve
Nordvpn is a pretty good vpn though? Especially for the price of like 2 bucks a month
OVPN is actually protecting Piratebay.
Do we have to say more?
That thumbnail tho
“VPN, the best thing for gay people, pirates, assassins and gay pirate assassins” – Tom Scott
ive always hated these ads
I like how before this video played, I got a pre-roll ad for a VPN.
Are there any working free vpns?
Heh, remembered the gay pirate assassin video also known as the honest vpn ad by Tom Scott
Here's the link to the video: https://youtu.be/WVDQEoe6ZWY
Funny how dislikes got disabled. People with ad-free YouTube premium are fed up
I got an express vpn AD on this video xD
Only first world countries use a lot of VPN

If a company is pumping tons of money into advertising: It's a bad product. They need it to be seen by as many people as possible, in hopes that those who don't know better will waste their money. Disgusting.
How is this any different from those free proxy sites?
Gay pirate assassin!!!
B-b-but my favourite YouTuber can be trusted.. Right?
So basically, the takeaway is, since I'm big into pretending I'm an American to access content, and don't much care what my paper trail is, my VPN is doing its job
I've been trying some free VPNs and in terms of keeping me anonymous while browsing the internet they're shit compared to just using TOR
Funny part about advertising, The more I see advertising, The more I thank Gee they sure did blow a lot on advertising, was there anything left for the "Product".
Only practical use of VPNs – make sites think you're in a different location. Which has limited success for streaming services.
I love the thumbnail
If not Tor, what is the solution to scrub user agent data?
whenever these ads are pushed so aggressively they pretty much make me loose any interest in buying the product.
But ngl the Internet Historian ads are pretty funny …
Are VPNs useful for travel though? Specifically saving lots of money on hotels and flights? Should I consider buying a VPN for that purpose?
I'VE LITERALLY GOT GBS OF CLOUD DATA STORED ON A FLASHDRIVE SOMEWHERE OF PREMIUM VPN ACCOUNTS. JUST B/C WAREZ
