Which ones disappointed you and why?

But wouldn't that defeat the whole privacy purpose of DDG?

@@vpnranksofficial You have no privacy on internet. But at least less biased search and BS.

I agree - 100% privacy is a myth. I'd still recommend the DDG browser minus Google.

You got that right!

Thanks a lot @pavan99 and absolutely! Great observation!

You're very welcome @christianturner! Consider subscribing for more such content!

Our thoughts exactly.

Nope, we used the exact words news publications used.

I suppose, but a lot of people don't agree.

⁠@@vpnranksofficial​​⁠​⁠​​⁠I know, and that’s fine. Everyone should be free to do their own thing, but I should be free to have my own opinion about it, without being censored. I’m glad FB/“Meta” has had this about face, which really is about free expression.

The real debate around free speech is where to draw the line which is much more trickier. So they just skipped all the diplomacy.

...best? =P

I hear you loud and clear. We'll get right to it!

Whats difference between vpn and using dns servers?

All good VPN providers operate their own DNS servers. When using a VPN, DNS requests are routed through the VPN tunnel and resolved by the VPN service. As the VPN tunnel is encrypted, the DNS requests are encrypted without the need for a private DNS protocol.

Well, since it is a shared social platform.

Well, it would seem that way from some of the comments that we received, although some users did tell us that they were able to get cheaper subscriptions with this method in late December.

As of 2025, there is no Constitution for the Internet and the laws about its use and rights of people online are still being debated and defined, country by country.

Which one though?

Oh definitely. But censorship and age appropriated content are the new guiding lights in social media right now.

@vpnranksofficial if your child is not of age to deal with the reality of Facebook then they shouldn't have a Facebook. Teaching your kids it's ok to censor people is wrong teach them to think for themselves. Especially when governments are the ones that are really behind the censorship like Zuckerberg said. People were being lied to for years by the government through social platforms. And alot of people were trying to tell you the truth about it but we're censored.

But this is a continuous process. It will keep censoring content and avoid fact checkers in the future.

I wonder why you think this is a good thing?

Some people actually like the AI ads they were sent on Instagram.

@vpnranksofficial no the ai accounts (I can't confirm if it's real or not I'm only.goimg off what I have heard on here) so it's fake accounts, fake pics fake everything that apparently can like and even comment (and send friend requests) on people's posts

I'm not sure about the friend requests, but yes people and companies have been deploying AI bots to engage with their content online whereas others have made entirely AI influencers that entertain people without fooling them. I agree, the former is pretty deceptive, but we had people getting paid to engage with posts or to leave fake reviews even before AI.

Don't you think this may give way to a lot of propoganda?

But so is propaganda, don't you think?

We all knew bias existed, but yes, finally!!

We've got governments meddling with public squares in other continents right now.

More power to you!

But then misinformation will spread like wildfire.

@ trust me my friend. It’s better for information to spread free. And Only trust the valid sources. Misinformation act is controlled information. A lot of the information the GOV tried to pushed to us during Covid turned out to be false and cancelled credible people from speaking under misinformation act and thousands of people paid it with their lives. And with the changes Obama made to the smith-mundt act the propaganda the US uses against other countries they can now be seen by their own citizens. Combine with misinformation it will be dictatorship. You always have to think in the event our real gov is not in control anymore we are able to get information from private sources to get informed.

I agree with information being spread freely, but how does one qualify as a valid source when many valid sources have been compromised to spread false information?

@ first question : Well would your prefer to have sources or non at all?

@ second when the gov has proven to silenced the truth to spread an agenda "like mark confessed. would you not want to hear other opinons with valid sources.

I believe Meta will be implementing this everywhere. They can't just localize Meta for different areas.

Oh of course, hackers and bad actors are only detected when they make their presence known. God knows for how long they were snooping around there.

Well, from what some of our viewers told us that their Ukraine one was just cancelled by TH-cam as of December 2024 but they managed to get Poland working for 25.99PLN (roughly £6) per month. VPN to Poland, UK card, Polish address and it worked. Vietnam, Romania, India and Turkey, as well as Ukraine of course, didn't work for these users. Bosnia & Herzegovina 'worked' but were for $13.99."

Basically 🤣

Who are you referring to?

Thank you for your kind words and stay tuned, because we have so much more content in the works. That's a great question, and to put it simply, the latest privacy tools and other similar tech are in a neck-to-neck battle with cybercriminals in saving unexpecting individuals and companies from becoming the next victims. This is also why cybersecurity experts keep asking individuals and companies to stay updated with the latest tech and privacy trends because cybercriminals are actively looking for their next target. We have plenty of interviews with cybersecurity experts from various industries who've already answered this particular question holistically.

No way! The spyware was mostly targeted at journalists, activists, or government officials. How'd you know you were affected?

@ they got all her photos and information

Oh my god! And you found these photos and information leaked online? And what're your next steps?

Many users trying this method got it to work in Romania. Here's what they did: 1. Create a Google payment profile in Romania, 2. Use the android apps with a VPN in Romania 3. Change the country of the Play store by clearing the cache of the Play store 4. Try to get TH-cam premium from the app. If it's not working try to clear the cache of the TH-cam app, or the Play store again. Some people reported that their Ukraine one was just cancelled by TH-cam as of December 2024 but they managed to get Poland working for 25.99PLN (roughly £6) per month. VPN to Poland, UK card, Polish address and it worked. Vietnam, Romania, India and Turkey, as well as Ukraine of course, didn't work for these users. Bosnia & Herzegovina 'worked' but were for $13.99.

You could even emulate them WITH NINTENDO SOFTWARE😂😂

@MopTopMase 😂😂 that's what I'm saying. Companies be getting goofy with all these "subscriptions" when you can just homebrew their systems.

You have a point there! Perhaps this could be a gateway for modern game developers like PS or Xbox?

@@vpnranksofficial a gateway? Explain please.

Metaphor for an introduction.

Head to the Settings menu. Select Network. Select Settings. Select ‘Set up Internet Connection’ and select either LAN or Wi-Fi depending on which you use. Highlight your connection and press the Options button to bring up the options menu. Select Advanced Settings. Set IP address to Auto. Set DCHP Host to Do Not Specify. On the DNS settings section, select Manual. Input the Smart DNS you got from your VPN provider, and hit Next. Set MUT to Auto. Set Proxy Server to Do Not Use. Select Test Internet Connection to verify your settings. If all goes well, you should successfully connect to your Smart DNS and be able to access content from abroad on your console.

Agreed. But do you see how your experience deviates from the experience of the other user in the comment below?

Yup, it's happening!

What's problem with this method

Could you let us know what hurdle(s) you faced with this method?

@@vpnranksofficial vpn not works sometimes

@@vpnranksofficial you now have to proof you live in turkey to do this method again. It doesnt work since january. They now ask for valid turkey credit card

@@vpnranksofficial TH-cam/Google has made sure, that you as a customer, need to use a credit card that has been issued in the country that you are buying TH-cam Premium from. So the VPN approach, doesn't work anymore. Maybe you should make a video on how to get a virtual credit card issued in India as a foreigner ;)

The video may be AI-generated but all of the news is a 100% accurate.

@vpnranksofficial I literally don't care. It may be for this one video but that doesn't matter. And there's so much nuance that should be taken with journalism so that topics don't get confused and readers don't get mislead to make misinformed opinions.

Thank you for your suggestion @Jordan-rb28. We'll take this into account as we move further.

Dude, how is this a good thing? You serious right now?

Innovation is good, but you're right @Jordan-rb28, this could go either way!

@vpnranksofficial Dude don't even try to fool me that your reply isn't AI generated. TH-cam allows for that as a feature now. So sad. It doesn't go either way, AI so often gets these things wrong and shows images that are completely make believe. Shame on you and your work.

Umm, okay @Jordan-rb28. =/

That's very kind of you! Hope you have the a blessed New Year!

@@vpnranksofficial You're welcome and thanks I hope too :)
