Love your channel just come across it, im in UK so some things may be different but most should be generic, easy to understand with no bias, keep up the good work 😀
Thank you! Thank you! You are the most trustworthy channel on TH-cam. Not only will I save this video, I’ll be forwarding it to all my friends. You explain things so very well that you make it simple to understand. You are a joy and a gem and very much appreciated. Best wishes and again, thank you.
Very informative video, thank you 👍🏼 For any VPN company that claims a 'No Logs' policy, I would always try and see if this has been tested in court to make doubly sure.
Actually, there is a huge complaint with the newest version of it that made me quit that yuck service.... NO SERVERS. The free version no longer has servers, and will only auto-connect you to the fastest servers, which was an immediate uninstall for me when I upgraded
@@LironSegev There are many people who would like to actually choose a server from a certain country. What if I wanted to see some website that's from Autralia or Japan? You are considered a bad TH-camr for being Pro-Proton.
Mr. Segev, thank you very much for your detailed explanation and tests. Even for this guy from the Netherlands it was to understand clearly, thanks to your clear pronunciation.
I used the Proton VPN. For the first seven days it was great. Then there was an abrupt change and from that point on it would only connect through Japan (I was in the USA). There was also a noticeable decline in how well it functioned. I uninstalled the VPN and proton drive. I still have the email which I have no complaints about but I've not really used it, I have so many email addresses already. I would feel better about them if they had just said it was a seven day trial. I'll consider them again if for some reason I need a different VPN again.
Thank you linore for your restless effort in helping me and my device get safe. My question is the use of proton vpn that i was downloaded on or staying as to what you are downloaded to pc. etc
I use the free version of Proton and it is the best. When I connect to the server of my choice, it doesn't allow me but it does connect to random servers each time I connect. I think its pretty amazing and Switzerland has some preety strict policy on personal data leakage/storage handling.
I watched the whole video! Great main points into the breakdown of each service! Was able to gain valuable insight on different solutions for issues that exist. Well deserved Subscribers! Thanks! 👍
Unless you have a specific purpose in my/only use it during vacations etc, you're better just buying the full plan imo. The money is tiny compared to other stuff people spend money on. Works out to like $1.50 a month.
I have used a few different VPNs. They've all made my internet connection slower and/or blocked access to normal websites. So I have given up hope of ever using any VPN.
Proton is still my go-to VPN. It had so much to offer prior to changing their whole "free" options. Still great though. Besides that, the one my employer provides for free and also learning that MS has it's own VPN in defender is even better. We get free Office 365 subscriptions.
Got to the end. It's a really nice summary of a range of free VPN providers. Thank you. Right now I do pay for a VPN, but it was worth the watch. Thanks again.
I've been using Proton free for a few months. When it works it's great. Too often it switches to the Netherlands form the USA. Now it won't turn on. Got my use from free.
Love your videos. Just wondering who is your Internet provider? That is really fast! I have an idea for you next video. Could you share your thoughts on what to do when you receive a spam email. Usually when you click on span they will ask you if you want to unsubscribe or report that. I've been just reporting them but they keep coming but I am afraid if I do click on unsubscribe they will realize the address is correct. Your thoughts?
Hi Liron, just tried the free Proton VPN on my Windows Laptop, looking good.. except on your video you show you accessing Netflix via the VPN and it played.. well of course it did, it selected a USA server, so it would play it.. I'm in the UK and it selected the Netherlands, I clicked on Netflix and it didn't recognise my account logon! I disconnected from the VPN and checked Netflix and all works fine... so it won't let you use streaming services like Netflix unless you pay! Pete PS.. just tried and if I have Netflix open and logged in already then used the VPN it works.. which if fine, but not ideal if I don't load it to start with etc
Proton vpn seems to also install proton drive automatically which I found dramatically reduced my connection speed. Like 270 down to 85. Trying to uninstall it is a pain also. Not having a go at a free service but be aware that there may be potential downsides.
hmmm I didn't get that automatically installed on the free version - I can't recall but perhaps when you install it you can choose to do a custom installation and untick those options?
@@LironSegev Perhaps yes, I'm not an expert. But I definitely had trouble uninstalling it. When I did my Wifi speed returned to normal speed. But thanks for your response.
@@LironSegev Update. I have reinstalled Proton and yes you can do it without the Proton Drive option. That was my mistake. It is now functioning very well. You live and learn. 😅
Hi Liron. Love the content! Have you done a vid on cloud storage? I hate the concept. Must be the last person on earth to not use it at all... but as a traveler who can't have a NAS, I need an alternative solution. Can't keep carting around external hard drives. Any suggestions?
Liron. Please mention, if using a laptop and use a vpn saying your in x country, not your own, that trying to get into youtube needs verifying it's you.
thats a safety thing that many systems do and more should do. If you are usually accessing their system from one location and then they see a connect from another country, they flag that as suspicious in order to protect your account. Its not just TH-cam and its a good thing!
@@LironSegev Thanks Liron. We love watching your vlogs, plus you make us think. Your vlogs are nice and easy "PC for Dummies" and we thank you for this. And "YES" before you ask subbed-liked and worshipped ;)
You can change server with proton but only every 130 seconds for first 3 then 20 minutes for next and random fastest server. in Canada it connected to Japan (the one i wanted) then Romania then USA then back to Japan. It used to just let you pick it for free and use profiles but i guess that was too OP. Some places actually blocked Proton mail in the past, not sure about now because primarily used by hackers i think.
Liron, I always wanted to know how invisible is your IP when the router has its own IP and reveals the location and the outgoing connection and also the IP?
Leaving with a chuckle and smile...at 7:30 I do think it would be the other way round...the nerves to do that I'm lacking. That's me been smart yes.....😊
I am literally looking at the pricing page and its still there. You create your account first and then there is an option to download the Windows client - protonvpn.com/download-windows
It's been a while I've been looking, without success, a VPN with uk address, that I can just purchase this month and NOT renew next month. Basically a TOP UP VPN. Do you know one?
I don't know of one but could you not just buy one and then immediately cancel and then it wont charge you the next month and when you need it again, repeat this process?
Lolz i was paying for att and getting like 400kbps YES KB😂 they said "my area was too far from the box" as in my home was too far from the cable box😂 The slowing down was the FIX for the constant dropping of the connection....😂 Such a sad sad situation...
As far as I'm aware from the reddit pages that focus on this stuff, there are no reputable free VPN's for torrenting. They recommend to try and look for direct download links as an alternative.
Do you know if any of the ones that let you stream, also let you cast to a smart tv? We used Surfshark when we were in Iceland and while we could stream on the phone, it blocked casting to the smart tv and no one wanted to watch shows on a phone. Thanks for sharing this!!
casting to a tv isn't done by the vpn, it is handled by the computer or the phone. On my smartTV I have a vpn app installed and it works fine so that it can work independently of any device
yes but with these specific ones that have an external audits and open source, there seems to be no catch besides being used as a way to hopefully get you to upgrade at some point.
When you logged into Netflix on those two VPNs, were you logging into an existing, paid account or is this a back door onto that platform without a subscription?
Howedy! Would you be willing to give a breakdown for the vpn that is included in the Opera browser, please? Thank you and love your videos - wonderful stuff and great info!
