I just came last week to work in Germany, I find super useful your videos and website. Thanks for the effort you're putting into this!
This was one of my biggest curiosities thanks
I was looking exactly for this info, thank you!
Fantastic 😊
Very useful informations. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Very useful info! Thanks!
You always know what I need to know 🤗
High five! A BIG Friends fan here as well! (Sadly, this comes soon after the news of 'Gunther' passing away 😥.) Other than that, I must say I've never used VPN personally but this information sure comes in handy - even, or I should say especially, before moving to Germany. This is how I see it from my personal perspective. Of course I have stumbled upon a web content which happens to be inaccessible in my home country Bulgaria, but these have been rather within the range of illegal stuff anyway, like trying to download ... for which activity I don't care for many years now. (Yep, times change and mindset changes. That is, if common sense is not late.) But what about streaming content like on TH-cam? Something that might be interesting for me to see, but when clicking I get a screen saying "This content is unavailable for your country." This has only occurred with music videos of artists who are mostly popular abroad, or are dedicated to a very specific genre, not like big international stars, and has never happened about content of vloggers for example, or any official media. So... yeah, all of your selected information is more than halfway new to me, and thank you for being right on the spot, as always! 👍😀
Great info even if one isn’t in Deutschland. 👏🏼
Love you two😁 great content. A question though, on the subject. Is it legal to visit a website which streams lets say tv shows and movies but those are not official (as in Netflix and similar)? In this case I, as a user, am not downloading anything copywrited but the site which streams the content is doing so.
Streaming content that does not follow the proper copyright rules is illegal in Germany. An example of illegal streaming sites in Germany is 123movies or similar. Streaming services like Netflix, Discord, Twitch and TH-cam, however, are completely legal to use. Hope that answers your question 😊
Loved friends (back in the day) lol❤
Very interesting. Im technically inept not inclined 😄
When it comes to anything that evolves technology, I can barely turn the damn thing on let alone what to do after I have succeeded. I can remember when most of this barely existed.
Thanks for more fascinating and entertaining content ... Unfortunately, I've tried Nord and Express; BOTH were detected by Netflix, who instructed me to turn off my VPN, then try to access their site again. I canceled both VPNs! As individuals, you two are perfect ... together, you're even better! I love it when Jen, at 15: 07 (unconsciously) does an impersonation of Yvonne's accent, saying: 'It's not because--as you said--the VPN klähmß ..." : ) Bis bald!
Hahaha 😅. Interesting about Netflix, thanks for sharing. There is so much movement in this industry. Which Netflix country did you try to access?
It seems Nordvpn does not do Netflix anymore only Amazon(based on the help on their web site). For geoblocking it is a cat and mouse game. vpn finds a working ip, streaming service blocks it..... really what everyone should be doing is cancelling the service until geoblocking is gone. I do not have a netflix account for this reason. There are other ways of watching content online and if companies do not want my money well then I will keep it.
Content geoblocking is one of the most complex and fun topics to discuss. Generally, the reason why some content is not available in some regions is because of it has to do a lot with the licensing deals.
These deals are usually stupid and archaic. The content providers or CPs (HBO, SHO, Disney, etc) have made deals with long expiration dates. Let’s say HBO made a deal with maybe Sky Cinema for Game of Thrones in Germany for 3 years as an example. Since Sky now owns the rights to GoT, no one else, including streaming companies (including HBO if they launch in Germany) can show you GoT till the contract expires.
So, if you unblock the content using VPN, you are technically breaking the rules by accessing the content illegally since that platform has no rights to stream that content and theoretically CP will not earn money from that steaming session.
This is why shows made by Netflix are instantly available across the globe since they own both production and distribution rights.
This is one of the best ways to describe a VPN technically, :) may be i will share video To one of the customer ( biggest auto maker ). Let see the response then ;).
Thanks again "Queens".
Thanks Rahul 😊
Oh my goodness, here I found out something I didn't know yet. Because of the German-sounding name, I've always suspected NordVPN is somewhere in northern Germany, maybe Hamburg. Very naive, I know. Panama changes practically everything. Great comparison.
Can i use TOR in Germany?. Have you guys made a video on best internet service provider and plans?
in UK is prohibited you become suspect and you can be arrested or your devices confiscated
Hi girls, thanks for the detailed info! Still I have 2 questions: #1. is the downloading for offline watching on official streaming services like Netflix and Spotify legal? These are legal services and I pay for them so I think it should be legal but can you confirm it? #2: does screening out onto the TV from my laptop count as illegal streaming? eg. I have Friends Reunion downloaded on my computer and I want to watch it on the bigger TV screen. One of the screenshots of your streaming article on your website mentioned it but it wasn't very clear. Thank you :)
Hey! So #1 is totally ok cause you’re using the paid app to temporarily store media. You’re not reselling it or anything.
#2 if you’re mirroring content from any device to a TV to which you have paid for that’s totally fine as well!
What’s illegal is to download movies from sites that pirate the media and don’t have the rights to use them.
Hope that clears it up 😊
War bestimmt super hilfreich und informativ.👍 Doch.. oweh... ich habe nach der Hälfte des Videos kapituliert, weil meine Englischkenntnisse dafür nicht ausreichen. Vor allem wenn ich mir unbekannte Begriffe höre und nicht weiß, wie sie geschrieben werden, wird es schwierig. Bis ich mal raus hatte, dass ihr von 'access to geoblocked contents' sprachet! 🤔🙈 Das hat gedauert. Zum Glück bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen, dass ich hier in Deutschland kein VPN brauche. 🤷♀️
Vielen Dank für den Einsatz 😇
Es ist super erklärt - wie es sonst eben keiner macht. 😎👍🏻
Aber ich brauche das auch nicht.
Es gäbe vielleicht 2 - 3 Sender, die mich interessieren könnten.
Aber dafür müsste ich mich anmelden und meine Daten herausgeben. Das muss man ja mittlerweile für fast alles und mich nervt das.
Der allerbeste Datenschutz ist doch, sie *nicht* überall anzugeben.
Und da ich sowieso nur wenig Zeit in Film und Fernsehen investiere, verzichte ich eben.
@@Ringelsocke. geht mir genauso. Ich nutze selten meinen Fernseher und auch nur öffentlich rechtliche Sender. Außerdem diverse social media. Und ich lese Papierbücher und ebooks und höre Hörbücher. Die gebotene Vielfalt erschlägt mich manchmal fast und ich wünschte, mein Tag hätte mehr als 24 Stunden. Als ich selbst in Indien mit reichlich Datenvolumen auf meiner ind Simkarte unterwegs problemlos die ZDF Heute Show in der Mediathek anschauen konnte, hatte ich wirklich den Eindruck auch im Ausland auf nichts verzichten zu müssen. Noch mehr zusätzliche Inhalte in Fremdsprachen würden mich überfordern.
Speaking of HBO Max,do Germen cell phone providers have offers ,such as,Free HBO Max? Some of ours USA do.
Yes, there is something similar. Some cell phone providers allow you to use certain apps which don’t consume from your data plan. So for example: chatting apps like WhatsApp or Facebook messenger. Or music streaming apps like Spotify and so on.
@@simplegermany wow I’d rather have the Data than HBO. I watch HBO Max once a month. I use lots of Data. 😂🤜🏽🤛🏼
Hi guys, I am living in Germany since 2 months and wanted to access Disney+hotstar using Nord VPN. Can I access this? Also I can access prime in Germany but some content I am not able to see in Germany which is available in India. Can I access that in Germany using VPN of Indian server.
Maam can i download movie/series by using telegram in germany?
I've been watching pirated videos for many years and from my experience this is a gray area. Downloading is illegal so I use OBS to record shows I want to keep.
Isn't Surfshark located in the Netherlands? And ExpressVPN owned by a british company with a malware distributing history? And when it comes to privacy of data, why should I trust a Panama based company more than an Germany Internet provider that has to follow the GDPR standards? Hm, not sure about those recommendations, but the VPN vocabulary part was great :)
It isn’t important in which country the service is located, but where the surfer is located (Panama, Virgin Islands...).
Sky link does not seem to be working?
Thanks for letting us know! Now it is working 🤗
Sky soon be launching , a VPN service of there own, let see how it works.
Price? Higher price doesn’t guarantee Better service. In my opinion.
They are talking about Killswitchs and Panama and I just wanna watch Tatort from Spain
😅
can I play indian games using Free VPN? Will there be any issue?
That depends on where the indian games are hosted and what the terms and conditions are 😉
Ich hab NordVPN ja
sorry guys. I like your channel, but saying a VPN protects your data is just wrong.
You state correctly that your ISP can access your (transmitted) data.
Using a VPN will prevent your ISP to access yout (transmitted) data.
BUT
Your VPN-Provider can access your data. All you do is to replace your ISP with your VPN-Provider. All your traffic will still be visible. But it will be visible for the VPN Provider instead of your ISP
everybody should make a decision if they trust their ISP or a VPN-Service more
Well, that's what they said! Data IS visible to VPN and Internet providers, but that visibility just Cannot pinpoint to you. I mean, did you even listen?
@@fannychristozova8158 0:57 - "No. 1 Purpose is to protect your private data" - This is not what a VPN does!
16:02 - "The main purpose [...] is to protect your data" - again, this is not what a VPN does
Can you please link to the timestamp you are talking about? I cannot find it. Thank you
@Watts To The Wheels 1:24 "Obviously you get your Internet from the Internet provider [...] and these companies, they can still collect your data like, whatever you're doing online. [...] I think they're allowed to do it actually, they're just not allowed to pinpoint who you are specifically but they can use your data, amass. 7:25 "Very important that they do not store your data or logs, or whatever you do [...] 7:52 "and of course they all use a military ingraded encryption, that's very important that the VPN needs to be encrypted [...]" Encryption makes the data unreadable.

This is true, and they can do that as long as you are not using an encrypted VPN.
If you DO you an encrypted VPN, the same is true for the VPN provider. Your ISP can no longer collect your data, the VPN Provider can. That is the crucial thing they do not tell. That was the reasoning behind my first comment.
"Very important that they do not store your data or logs, or whatever you do [...]
yeah, sure ;)
"and of course they all use a military ingraded encryption, that's very important that the VPN needs to be encrypted"
The Connection is encrypted. Meaning the coonnection between you, and your VPN Provider. The data you sends out to the internet will be DEcrypted by the VPN and then send to the target-host normally as you would do without a VPN. So the VPN (and the VPNs ISP) can see your data.
All you do is preventing your own ISP from seeing what your data. But your introduce a VPN provider (and its ISP which is usually the same company) which CAN see your data.
there's a reason why express vpn is expensive, some vpns actually keep logs about who u r, how much time ur using it, and all which defeats the whole purpose. where express vpn is so log free that even Russian govt couldn't extract data from it when a crime happened and the crinimals were found to use it.
they also take out all of their servers in india when indian govt asked all vpn companies to log the user data.
good
