- VPNs aren't necessary for the average internet user... right? Well, that may not be so true anymore...

Surprizingly, the ad wasn't for tunnelbear.
The Shrek xD
I was thinking the same thing!
Yeah, and but wipes for men was way better. If every body's dicks smell like peppermint, in prison, Linus is to blame.
Milk's nice one
RIP
I already know what a VPN is. I just came here to figure out why there's a taco in the thumbnail.
Same
Taco. Puttin on the Ritz, of course.
same
Same here lol
inside a taco
Tacos are a horrible analogy, the government hides cameras in the meat.
"Meat"
as long as they don't hide their meat in your taco...
LinusTechTips
LinusTechTips bravo, linus, BRAVO! *slow claps*
It appears you have been wrecked. I looked up your information and it also appears you don't have get wrecked insurance. This will count as a pre-existing condition if you sign up in the future.
watching on a vpn at school
YAY BACON same
cyber ghost was available on humble bundle
bruh our admin blocked those vpn chrome extensions
lol
Internet is slow enough in australia, imagine what the VPN will do
Reading the comments right now as I'm waiting for the video to load at 360p
I've had 100 KBPS (Yep, Kilobytes) for 4 1/2 years. You get used to it after a while. lol
MetalGear its kilobit so... less then kilobytes lolol
MetalGear ha! my max is 2mb!
rentamobtv 250kbps for the past 3 years. and 75kbps before that since dial up. I love Australia
9 years and this still holds up as one of the most entertaining VPN videos.
This video is about VPNs and the sponser for the video was "Dollar Shave Club" and not "Hotspot Shield" or "Tunnel Bear". :D
It's not a real sponsor, he's using an affiliate link so he gets paid every time someone signs up
a video about vpn
WITHOUT THE TUNNELBEAR SPONSORS
Only Linus could talk about Tacos in a video about VPN, even if its unrelated.
When I think about it that whole "taking precautions to protect your privacy opens you up to intrusion" is very true. If you're taking noticeable precautions and lengths to make sure people can't intercept or snoop in on your data, you're opening yourself up to be prime suspect of suspicious activity; regardless if that's the case. The paradox of privacy...
well privacy is a human right. what do they wanna arrest me for anyway? i didnt do anything i just wanna be left alone
Hey linus! Please keep making these videos. I watch them everyday when im bored at lunch at KU! I love the fast as possible series because u explain everything so simply! I might suggest a series of videos on good tech devices for college. U wouldn't believe how many printers i have setup for female friends!
Knock knock. Who's there? Lettuce. That's impossible.
so creative
Prometheus Hippopotimi lol
Lettuce in.
Thank you all so much here lie another. If life gives you melons, you are dyslexic.
if lemons give you linus you sell your deodorant to a demon
I love the comic relief you throw in there. Keep up the good work👍
Great upload Linus, loving the ad's.
The taco inside a taco theory tho is hilarious!
behind every taco is another taco...
Do you ever think we could have a video on ports - ssh, ftp, smtp, http etc ports :) explaining how they work please and why we have them
New writer knows his networking, I've been studying this for awhile and everything was covered in a easy well explained manner.
However what could of been mentioned, who actually owns the VPNs. The thing is you have to do your research and find out if they're actually logging the info you put in or not. Some companies are great, some are crap and others... Well even the govt owns some services.
I was expected to get an ad for TunnelBear, not for the Dollar Shave Club.
you're my hero of taking fast. keep up the fast talk!
This video is going to get pretty popular over the next few days!
Linus you are awesome.
Thank you tech quickie.
Every week i learn new stuff.
Keep up the good work!!!
Downright paranoid and delusional... Yep, sounds like me. Sign me up!
clicked this video just to see how Linus was going to incorporate Mexican fast food into a video about VPN's
Probably the beset South Park episode ever... Love it!
"New Writer Number 2" Was great, tell him/her to keep it up.
I knew this sounded alien, but yeah that taco killed me.
hey Linus,
do you have a video that reviews the security policies of these different networks? which one do you actually use?
the analogy had me hyperventilating
I liked the script. It was comprehensive and fun
Really good and fast and familiar video, thank you very much!
I didn't notice that it was a new writer, so i guess they passed!
"chocolate tunnel" this just turned into Church of Fudge
1.How to hide your IP address.
2.How to over clock your CPU
3.How to use hacking as a mode of attack.
You could make a video about Tor vs VPN? Quite a lot of people don't seem to know the difference or they want to know which one is "better"..
Would VPN providers utilize MPLS by default? I wonder if that would allow for faster connections if it was configured at the client end as well. I'm sure new protocols will come along to speed things up, and there is always Internet 2 which probably isn't that far off.
Anyone got specific recommendations on VPN services?
Throwing a rock with a piece of paper tied to it works for me! :D
Private Internet Access works great for me. Im hitting 100Mbs (www.speedtest.net/result/4076232357.png) and allows for port forwarding. Also pretty cheap
Thanks!
AirVPN
ZenMate, for Chrome and Opera browser, free VPN switch.
I was understanding what you were talking about, until you mentioned the taco. I started to think about food and forgot the main idea. In other words, I had to play the video again, and I agree with that tunnelbear, should be the ad for this video.
You forgot to mention that VPN's are also a great tool for figuring out whether your ISP is throttling you or not, did your overall connection improve once you started using a VPN? *Dingdingding* time to switch away from Comcrack and switch to Utah Broadband (insert applicable local ISP in place of UBB), with lower advertised speeds but higher observed speeds than what you were getting previously!...???... Profit!
just as he was talking about congestion and slower speeds, my video started buffering. how fitting
+ninjalikwid strange thing is... it started buffering for me too at the same exact moment at 3:16
+ninjalikwid mine too, at 3:18. I actually thought it was part of the video
No tunnel bear ad for people who are interested in it?
I was convinced, with absolute certainty, that this video would advertise Tunnel Bear...
I hope this won't be banned by governments
Such a pity Hotspot Shield doesn't seem to be a sponsor anymore xD.
That analogy was so intense that it caused my video to buffer, then my internet die. What the hell Linus! Lol.
please explain proxys
rentamobtv Thought I'd just add that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can see all of your traffic on a proxy, and is not a replacement for a VPN in terms of privacy besides having a different IP address.
rentamobtv No...? VPNs are nothing like proxies...
rentamobtv They are fundamentally different and don't even serve the same purpose at all. Their infrastructure is different (server vs network), the layers on which they operate are different (application/transport vs network),...
A proxy is just one server which handles and caches HTTP requests for users. The client connects to a certain port on the proxy, he sends his HTTP request to the proxy instead of directly to the origin server. Then the proxy looks for the requested file in it's cache, if it's there it sends his copy to the client. If it's not it will connect to the origin server and send it a HTTP request for the fie. It's main purpose is to reduce the response time for a client request and to reduce traffic on an institution's access link to the Internet.
The purpose of a VPN is to provide an IP network for institutions that extend over multiple geographical regions, so that its hosts and servers can send data to each other in a secure and confidential manner.
You know what a private network is right? It's a stand-alone physical network - including routers, links and a DNS infrastructure - that is completely separate form the public Internet.
A VPN is virtual, which means it uses the existing public Internet instead of purchasing, installing, and maintaining it's own physical network infrastructure.
Their working is closely related to that of a VC, each router, server, host, ... is aware of the virtual network and is maintaining state (resources, routing tables,...).
A VPN uses some other routing protocol like MPLS which routes packets using labels instead of looking at the IP adreses to route packets. This means that routers can forward packets along routes that would not be possible using standard IP routing protocols, e.g. to reroute traffic over a precomputed failover path in response to link failure. This requires every router in the VPN to be a label-switched router.
I can go on and on about how they differ because they are nothing alike, but I think you get my point.
I think proxies is where you try to fool the website you are accessing that you are somewhere else in the world by giving it a different IP from what your computer has. It doesn't require a different computer to be using that IP and doesn't require a different computer to be turned on to channel the data through it.
It's basically giving a wrong house address at your area's library.
In simple words:
When you request a web page, your computer sends a HTTP message to the server which contains that particular web page, we'll call this server the origin server. This server will then send his answer (the web page) to your computer.
A proxy is a server, between you and the internet (not necessarily though). Now, instead of sending the HTTP message to the origin server, you send the HTTP message to the proxy server. Then, the proxy server will send this HTTP message to the origin server and he will send the response back to you.
The proxy server will also cache (save) this response in his storage so when the next client requests that same page, it can send the response without sending a request to the origin server.
The original intention of a proxy server is to reduce the response time for a client request and to reduce traffic on an institution's access link to the Internet.
Your internet provider has some proxy servers in it's infrastructure and every web request you make will probably be handled by that proxy.
A lot of people and probably a lot of people who watch NCIX will use a proxy server as some form of privacy. Because the web server will only see the IP address of the proxy server and the origin server will not know the original request originates from your computer.
Another popular use is to access blocked websites in institutions. Because they block the origin servers and not the proxy servers.
Hope this explains it! If you still have questions, feel free to ask!
"Sony anyone?"
SHOTS FIRED, SHOTS FIRED.
I didn't get. Would you explain please... I was searching down the comments for an interesting story... :D
Its like a taco, inside a taco, within a taco bell, thats inside a KFC, thats within a Mall, thats inside your BRAIN!!!
So vpn just allows encryption between the two computers
-server(the one hosting)
-client(the one that's accessing)
My question is that everyone speaks of free vpns and paid vpns. I understand they offer security(embedded Anti-Malware,encryption methods) and other features like faster upload speeds(sometimes), cloud storage and cached internet pages,etc. So with all that said what is the difference between using the one windows provides you with? You know ..
etwork connections >file >>new incoming connections
What kind of procedures would you have to do to make this secure? Does this have to do with securing firewall ports, antimalware, etc.? I mostly want to know the cons
hands down, best tech dude on youtube
It's LTT so yes.
Seems like a good writer, just make sure he can keep being consistent in his writing.
You should explain about the tor network, maybe
I've got an interesting question. With the packet lost, effecting dropped and reconnecting connection. I believe Optimum wifi is VPN. Does that mean that, for example video calling (Skype) I'd be prone to that as well?
Tech Quickie: Why there's a taco in the thumbnail as fast as possible!
OHHHhh! Now I get it.. Thanks for explaining a good video. Subscribed!
Basically what Batman uses in his cave system
What would your personal recommendation of a VPN be? I use Avast Premier and ended up getting a free trial and now I'm questioning whether I should buy it or not, I do online shopping regularly and sometimes torrenting so id rather stay safe when doing so.. Any advice would be great
"A taco, in a taco, in a KFC, in a mall, inside your brain." OH my God. I just realized the south park reference(?)
linus was tripping balls i think during this one
I actually get faster speeds when on my VPN is on then I do when I'm not. This is because companies like Charter and Time Warner (personal experience with both) use cached servers that they own to "help speed up the web". Those cached servers are actually there to save those companies $$$. Using a VPN you are able to bypass these cached servers and get faster speeds, especially TH-cam.
Not to mention depending on your area during certain times your internet will get throttled, even if they say they don't, they do, it's in the agreement you agreed to. VPNs can get around this.
Anyone noticed the focus lenght? it seemed like anytime linus approached his hands to the camera they got blurry
How ironic that I would be eating a Caramilk bar at 1:30
You got mad writing skills, writer #2
Hey guys. I'm using "Private Internet Access" as I just got a good deal. 2 years for 59.99.. But I have a quick question. Should I install the VPN on each electronic or just add the VPN to my router?
Yooo, I noticed linus' watch. Is he going to do a review on the LG G watch R? I'm excited
I'm a university student and just got gifted an xbox one console. The university does not allow game consoles to connect to its network but does allow the us of VPN's. I was wondering if maybe I used a wireless network adapter through my used 2014 macbook (running sierra) to create an access point or hotspot could I run the VPN through it and thereby enable internet access to my xbox one s? Also, the university only allows wireless connection. There are no hardwire ethernet options in dorms or anywhere else on campus.
supremely helpful thank you!!
I use a VPN to watch TH-cam in peak times, when my provider seems to throttle my connection. With VPN no problems.
I fall into the shady paranoid guy. Yeah, think about that one.
I use VPN to bypass the 5gb tether cap and get unlimited tethering. Suck it T-mobile.
Lol or just get a rooted thether app
they have tethering caps in the states........ this is honestly the first time I heard of them.
darkdancerman tell me more please
are all vpn's do the vpn's do the same or there is a specific method to do that ?
>I pay money for a service that speeds up my Internet connection
Makes sense
I am setting up my own VPN just for the hell of it, and because I have servers laying around.
I like your new writer, with direction he is pretty good
No tunnel bear add? It would have been the one and only perfect transition
I love the videos because I can actually understand them and I'm only 12! Also, your taco analogy was... umm... interesting.
No shout out for South Park for that inception joke? You wouldn't steal a joke.
Yes I would - an illegal joke.
That moment when you realize that piece of cake was the most important part be like...
Hey Linus, could we get a Memory Interface as fast as possible because I'm trying to figure out what i should get for a video card.
I came for tacos...
In many countries, there are many blocked or censored websites, for political, religious or moral reasons, vpn can let people bypass that, so that is another reason that you haven't mentioned,,
I studied a Certificate IV in IT Networking and already know most of these topics, but i enjoy watching these videos anyway haha
Man I just got a personalized ad for VPN before this video. Man this makes me feel uneasy about this stuff
I knew there was something different about the script. Number 2 gets my vote.
You should do a video on cloning and and imaging a drive, on what the differences are and when to do it.
New writer is good. I approve.
Was confident that he would say "Speaking of _______, TunnelBear comes ______........
Thanks for the quick look at VPNs. I am currently running vyprvpn and though they are little more pricey (14.99 per month) the speeds are fantastic and average around 10 Mps once up and running. Currently I am waiting on my case and monitior to arrive and I can complete my first build, holla. Would you mind touching on the topic of bios. I purchased the asus z97-A mobo for a couple of different reasons, price at performance, ports and someone said they have a great bios. I know little about it but know linus could explain more. Thanks again for your videos.
Can you guys explain Intel Smart Response tech. I know Linus did it for NCIX but I feel like we need a more general description
2:01 awesome analogy
2:00 its like a taco, inside a taco, inside a taco bell, inside a KFC- and its inside your brain
Could you use a VPN connection to connect for example your and your friends home network and simulate it's one network?
The taco bit was quite funny.
i will vpn to have access to youtube and google services (im in China)
mate You sold yourself, that advert at the end just killed me, whats next McDonalds? or Pizza Shit?
new writer number two is beautiful. my teachers ( a few of them ) didn't do as good of a job describing that to me.
Vpn: slow. My connection: they call that slow? Full power!
Do subnetting as fast as possible next now
what if a wifi network blocked VPN's from connecting?is there a way to bypass this? for example.my school blocked snapchat from working on the wifi and a couple days later everyone started using VPN's so my school desided to block the VPN servers from connecting to the wifi.
Wait so are VPNs a stand alone thing or do i still need an internet connection for it to work?
Thoughts on Opera’s free VPN?
there's peanut butter on your hands Linus
I use VPN to play CSGO. In game, I can see my latency (ping). Question is: what is this ping, when using VPN? Latency from my computer -> VPN -> game server? Or just VPN -> game server?
