Wasn’t expecting them to actually set the laptop on fire
They probably took all the components out, but who knows?
probably a fake ikea display laptop
Bear Puns . By all the components you mean hard drive an ram? I could still see them lighting a broken one on fire.
Clearly a fuel similar to some sort of ethanol based fuel.
Might be some hollywood liquid where you have flame but only vapour burning.
"You need at least 1 core"
Dang it, I was gonna use my half core cpu.
i was trying to use my quarter core cpu
You look lile Jake's more handsome brother.
With hyper threading?
1/2 core w/ hypo-threading
ARM has 1/30 the insctuctions of a new x86 CPU.
That's also why ARM can have 10 cores, but struggle with a 2D game. Even with using GPU acceleration.

he left the bottle right next to it
@@SpunckyJew6969 yep i was waiting for the bottle to explode too o.o'

I use my own VPN to play LAN only games with friends interstate.
I've been doing it since Halo:CE and currently do it with minecraft.
There's your 5th use case.
Try Hamachi then
theres also a program called "xbslink" that allows you to play lan parties online.
My friend and me fixed a few error messages because we were lucky enough to get the source code and we use it to host Modded Lobbies on PS4 without having access to the PSNetwork.
theres also tungle, tungle is built for lan over internet gaming and even has a server browser to allow you to find people to play with

I'm sure they immediately used a fire extinguisher after the cut. Either way, butane mixtures typically produce a relatively controlled flame and aren't necessarily explosive.
How else are you supposed to be super sure you destroyed the evidence. If nothing explodes you are burning things wrong.

PIA's death was acceptance

PIA was purchased but that doesn't mean they have gone rogue...
@@hammerheadcorvette4 the Israeli company they were purchased by has a history of injecting malware into their apps.

What happened to PIA
What I missed in the "set up VPN"-part was the checkbox "block outside DNS" being checked. Without that, you risk a DNS bleed/leak.
*Guess who's not gonna be able to sponsor any VPN service...*
I'm guessing you haven't seen the "we had a video about setting up your own X, but what if you're too lazy to do that? Well, Y is the solution for you, and they're the sponsor of this episode!" into before?

Heres a fun one Connecting LANs for my entire family setting up a old style BBS or totally notfacebook there is quite alot that is good just under tunneling .psst file sharing too
Avazive . Hopefully. That's all they are doing.
This is good stuff. Thanks.
Also, nice keygen background score.
I watched this video the day it came out and told myself "as soon as I have a minute I am going to try this approach" - That minute came today and I am so impressed by the findings I'm seeing. Thank you for yet another great piece of content.
For anyone curious... I set this up on an AWS EC2 t2.mirco instance and I am seeing speeds at least double that of NordVPN and at some times triple. Ping is 4 times faster also. Streaming live FHD (H264) content through this method is seemless compared to NordVPN. No Stuttering image or buffering. My plan is to test with another instance type with better network bandwidth. Set up time was 25mins.

Me: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea
And PIA
Welcome to TH-cam buddy, everybody is selling their ass of for the sweet $$$
@@brokengames9020 well have you seen how many employees he has and how many families he helps feed? its not like he's selling out and thats it, he gives us information we could use and makes videos people will see, even with ads/sponsors
Wasn't there an extensive video talking about how TunnelBear's acquisition made them an untrustworthy VPN provider, and the sponsorship was immediately dropped?
@@hobomasterxxx There was. I don't think it's nice for people to say he's making propaganda. Things change. At the time, those services were considered good, now they're not.
3:15 when you leave a bottle of liquid lighter next to an open flame. Kudos to LTT!
"Liquid lighter"
fluid
Great tutorial Linus! Thank you! 👍😁
you guys have stepped up your background music game. I approve!
3:03 When LTT's insurance company realized its rates were too low.
I mean he left the lighter fluid bottle next to fire and the laptop's lithium ion battery. You are asking for a Samsung event to happen with sprinkles on top.
Aren't we supposed to have a safety officer on set for stuff like this?
Yeah.... That part seemed really unwise.
that was obviously edited

Now, I can download Linux ISOs to my heart's content!

@@fredwupkensoppel8949 bless you
I dont see why Linux distros need a VPN.
Or are you seeding any paid / altered one?
@@JR-mk6ow went over your head
dude i just found your channel, aspiring soc analyst here, and you are by far the most entertaining!! subscribing now!!!
There's an open source project called Algo that can automatically set up a VPN for you, including spinning up a VPS instance from one of a few major VPS providers, creating certs and and configuring the server. Getting it working is as easy as downloading the project, putting in your API keys and following the prompts.
As someone whose last use of torrents was legitimately just getting a Linux iso, I feel simultaneously attacked and vindicated.
ok.
Linux is free though, and open source. Why would you use a torrent for a Linux iso? Security?
@@tcbloxstudios It's faster, especially for big files and slow internets
@@tcbloxstudios Torrents is easily the most efficient way to download files. I really wish it would just become the norm already, instead of having fifteen million file sharing sites
@@tcbloxstudios It tends to be faster since a lot of distro host servers are slow but also torrent clients verify the file has automatically so yeah it can be for security too.
The feeling when you get an ad featuring Linus Tech Tips in Linus Tech Tips
what
They do a ad for Honey
As well as pulseway
Linus himself is just one big ad
Wouldn't know, using TH-cam vanced
"With clearly worse latency....." proceeds to show 62 ms ping.
**Laughs in 500 ms ping**
I can't wait to move out to do this! This is crazy too, I was wondering if you could make your own VPN like a week ago and bam now there's a tutorial!! Thank you LTT for reading my mind(or my search history: D).

Rolling a VPN, huh?😆
Always wondered what was more “secure” about sending your traffic to some random company.
considering hackers can still trace all activity back to you since VPN services were invented by hackers, it's not secure at all
Well, if you pay them money to secure your data, then only the immoral ones are going to purposely do anything with it. You just have to do your research and find one that is reputable or make your own.
@@coolbrotherf127 every single one of them is "immoral" when they get a good offer or put under pressure to give away your info. A company is by its nature only interested in profit and you just can't guarantee that betraying you wont be at some point worth more to them than your money.
@@danielschroedinger2090 just get a company that has it as policy not to log and save your connection. You could sue them if they don't then
@@randompanda3415 depending on what kind of traffic gets exposed and to whom, winning a lawsuit or getting a bit of cash out of a settlement might not be even close to being worth it.
great vid and great tutorial on forum
Holy fuck… This is why I love Linus tech tips he’s literally so honest it’s almost illegal. He’s always made the best reviews based in science and numbers and even in a… Taboo subject he covered it so well. I love this so much there’s so little of this left on the Internet it seems
3:22
You may not endorse fraud, but you got me hooked on the free robux generator
Get the express
How is that done?
LTT: A VPN is good as it keeps you private.
Also LTT: Smart home equipment is good. Just ignore that it is constantly listening to you.
I host my own VPN & seedbox, the VPN only routes NAS/seedbox traffic, that allows me to map it as a shared network drive, and i can just stream whatever i want and not care about coping files between devices. Pretty easy to do.
I totally subscribed when you lit your computer on fire. Nice!!
3:03 left the lighter fluid pretty close there
SERIOUSLY!!! I'm sure there was an extinguisher VERY close by but DAMN that could have been bad!
Thought the same. Vid will probably get flagged for dangerous content now 😧
@Bill Messenger Exactly, I doubt they would take such a risk.
@Bill Messenger That would mean that they had a craaaaazy totally insane speciel effects artist making it, because that fire and lighting looks, what would you call it, real...

I'm not even worried about the machine, since I'm sure it was old and useless. I was a little worried about the drapes, THE BOTTLE OF LIGHTER FLUID RIGHT NEXT TO THE FLAMES, the table, etc.
I really am wondering how and where that was done without an alarm going off and fire engines coming to visit.
@@nakyer You mean the bottle of filled with nothing right ? The lighter fluid and the flames are specials effects nothing real here.
@@XxS3riaLxX If so, it was done pretty well. Scared the pants off me, to be honest. I was like "WHAT was Linus thinking?!?!?" I even noticed the flames seemed to stay BEHIND the bottle, so someone did some pretty good roto-scoping type effects!
Oh man, I can steal so much Linux this way.
3:03 When LTT realized.. they left the bottle on the table xD
I got the pulseway ad with linus in it at the start of the video and I was really confused when the video actually started!
Often feel like I’m the only person who legitimately only torrents Linux ISO’s.
Piracy is good, Time to put a end to racism
I always download Linux ISOs with a torrent client. Of course, there are some other things as well......
You are not alone, Now days streaming service for movies are available. Also, net speed is enough to support streaming.
@@sagarrathi1 yeah, fast enough for streaming from torrents.
No, you are not.
Really love the background music in this one!!
There was background music??
Yeah, would definitely like to find out what it was.
The thing with background music is that I always watch videos on a very low volume, so I never really notice it anyway, but when I do, it drives me nuts because I'm always thinking "What's that weird noise?" for a few seconds. Imo LTT could stop using it.
@Linus, I am a fan of your videos. Instead of using 3rd party VPN client, please make a video to use more widely acceptable OpenVPN, and use self generated and self signed keys, or use lightweight WireGuard with SSH public keys without any certificates, also free tier of any cloud provider like AWS or Google can enable you to make your VPN for free for upto a year (if your usage does not exceed 1GB per month), Google Cloud + Outline is also a VPN for novice users. You can also integrate Pi-Hole and Pi-VPN on the same server, that is ad-block and VPN in one package and one connection, you don't need to buy a Rasberry PI or a Pi Zero hardware to use Pi-Hole and Pi-VPN and use DNS over TLS for additional security with CloudFlared. With so many people working from home, this would be more widely used than ever before so we need better ideas to improve privacy and make it almost free and accessible to all. As a word of caution, close management ports from firewall and make the Pi-Hole only accessible over VPN, that way it would not be prone to attacks or abuse.
Linus as the sketchy guy in the hoodie sniffing packets at the coffee shop is the hardest I've laughed in a while 😂😂😂
McAfee be like: Oh they have a partnership with LTT? - Let's buy them!
Pia wasn't bought by McAfee
@@alexv.d.h.7331 they are referring to tunnelbear, not PIA
@@Gaget01Stuff he was kinda implying that PIA also got bought by McAfee
And LTT cut the partnership lmao
@@alexv.d.h.7331
He said they were bought by "McAfee and Kape, respectively." Not the "manners and politeness" meaning of respectfully. The version that means "Tunnelbear is McAfee and PIA is Kape" kind. He didn't imply it, he explicitly said they were both bought by 2 different entities. McAfee doesn't own or work directly with Kape or anything like that.
On a Linus binge love the content keep it up
Being a college student, there's times I had to do research on a topic and because of the school's security settings sometimes we couldn't even access the web page they wanted us to. Enter a VPN, where I was able to display the webpage and we could do our work for the day. Use case number 6.
proxies are good enough for the 4th type i found out from my old isp that they dont directly monitor traffic there are companies that connect to torrents log the ip's and sell that information back to the owner of the content simply using a proxy is good enough to evade those types of monitoring
I literally already did this as soon as I found out about PIA getting acquired by Kape. I deployed to Digital Ocean with AlgoVPN, super easy and not a single issue 2 months in.
Linus: *burns laptop
Me: ...this is fine...
*this is the way
i didnt even blink,looked like a piece of shit xD
Been watching you for so long now. God damn it, I love you Linus!
the day before this video i spend the whole day trying to setup openvpn server on a old windows laptop that i have, then i failed and give up, so the next day this notification shows on my phone, ive never been so surprised lmao, and now i installed and it is running great, ty!
*Those fire video after effects looked really believable!*
Next up, a PiVPN video to complete the whole PiHole setup!
@@KeijonAutoVuokra Same goes for this video or the PiHole video. The point is to spread knowledge.
It would be nice for them to show how to set up PiVPN with Pihole so you can be as free outside your house. I couldn't find a single totorial that shows how to do it
Rambo Yan do you know where I can find a tutorial? My main problem is with the PiVPN setup. I don't know how to make it "use" the DNS of Pihole.
@@k-panga easy
If you installed both simply edit 2 config files:
nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf
Delete: push "dhcp-option DNS xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Replace it with push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"
Make new config in
nano /etc/dnsmasq.d/02-pivpn.conf
Paste in: interface=tun0
Restart the services
/etc/init.d/openvpn restart
/etc/init.d/pihole-FTL restart
Done :)
Would agree. PiVPN is super easy to setup and works great. Tis what I use so I can be across the country and VPN to my home, to access files off the NAS.
This is just great. Pritunl seems very powerful!
Linus should absolutely write text books. In my data communications networking class the text was so dry and such an info dumb it was hard to follow a long but Linus explains things like a human being.
Looks like someone isn't getting any VPN sponsors anytime soon

I use TorGuard. They seem to be a bit more focused on power user needs. The speeds are good and they have good security options and a bunch of servers.
This is the first sponsor I can relate too and am actually in need for (contacts) and I plan to purchase some with your link LTT :)
even an ad for dispossable contact lenses, wow
Disposable contact lenses are not medical tools.
@@xenonram oh sorry, don't know much about this things
@@xenonram they're a medical device that's why you need to have a fitting for contacts. I am an optician and contact lens fitter myself and this brand of contacts is very good and is meant to relax your eyes for near vision.
MrEmmatron contacts are not recommended for heath by doctors and thus are not medical tool because they are SOLEY for cosmetics and actually can put your eyes at more risk. Very unprofessional by you but I am not surprised because you are biased by nature to your profession.
By not recommended I don’t mean Doctors won’t say don’t get contacts in saying doctors would never recommend contacts for your health, you get them for cosmetic purposes unless you are in an extremely small percentage of people who need them for some reason
I've been using biofinity lenses for years and love them
More content like this, for sure. Tutorials in general.
I have a Linksys WRT3200ACM router with built in OpenVPN server that I just learned how to setup and all I did was enable it and export a connection file to feed the OpenVPN connect android app on my phone. Works flipping amazing. Now I get full ad blocking thanks to the Raspberry Pi running PiHole on my home network, and I can access my file server super easy using the same local network IP addresses that I would use to access it at home. Crazy cool and super useful.
NordVPN was the TH-cam ad 😂
Same. Oddly I have no beef with Nord. They failed to disclosed that a white hat hacker found an exploit and that they fixed it? This is only how every company in the world with bug bounties works. You don't disclose there is an exploit until you've fixed it.
I had an ipvanish ad.
@@johngaltline9933 Yes, nobody should disclose an exploit before it's fixed. but the problem is they didn't disclose it even after it was fixed. Considering that it was caused by an missing update, fixing it was as easy as installing an update. The fix already existed, it just wasn't installed on that particular server. Fixing it took them a few days, maybe a week, but they didn't disclose it for more than a year, and then they only disclosed it because they were specificly asked about it after some researcher detected it.
@@fuchs4 Again, on equipment they did not own or maintain and never actually used as an exploit. No one had any data snooped on Nord. In every other business in the world, no one expects a press conference over finding a defect and fixing it. that's what they are supposed to do. "There's a bug that was never actually used maliciously, it's already fixed, we're not letting that same thing happen again" it is a non issue. I would get the outrage had any user's data actually been compromised, or if there was some massive cover up, but as I understand it when someone asked about it they came right out and told the truth.
Over all Nord did nothing wrong that I am aware of, they just didn't bother telling anyone that there was a bug that got fixed before it ever mattered.
@@johngaltline9933 Not only that, but it was a decommissioned server, no longer a NordVPN endpoint. The worst an attacker could have done is taken the private key and used it to set up a bogus NordVPN endpoint, but if they wanted anyone to connect to it they'd have to actually hack NordVPN and add the server to the list, so that it would appear in the NordVPN client. It was an entire extra hack away from being a problem.
Furthermore, disclosure of exploits and breaches is one thing, but this was neither. The vendor of the software should disclose to its customers the exploit when they make the patch available, but there's no requirement or even need or preference for the company using the software to propogate the disclosure unless it constituted a risk. If the vendor of a bank's fraud-detection software issues a patch for an account information leak bug, but no risk was present because of either other controls the bank had in place or the access vector or complexity of the vulnerability meant it couldn't have happened, they don't need to say anything.
Why not a LTT VPN. Seems like he cares and is more than able to set it up
Well LMG at its core is still a media company (and floatplane is related to video content too) so this would be too far from what they are currently doing. Perhaps he cares, does he care enough to risk millions of dollars to start a VPN company?
@@HengTengYiakaRandumbPerson2003It wouldn't cost nearly that much, not unless you're planning to become a world leading provider.
He's actually perfectly positioned to start his own VPN company - he's knowledgeable in his own right, but also already employs people he'd need to get something like this set up, with contacts elsewhere for anyone else.
He's also got a ready made market with his viewers, many of which would love a trustworthy VPN solution, neatly avoiding all the biggest problems for new entrants to the market. And with Floatplane he's got a ready made test audience, for limited roll out.
Who better to start a new VPN company, when it comes down to it?
@@dandavidson4717 But why open yourself to user abuse? #3:10, like the video says.. any abuse by users would make LMG liable... he is not going to risk LMG which is worth millions just to start a VPN company.
@@dandavidson4717 "Wouldn't cost nearly that much" What are you basing this of off. It'd cost a fair amount.
i think that's illegal. unless your business is based in some 3rd world country
You could also take a look at Outline Server. It can automatically deploy to platforms like DigitalOcean too. It‘s not as advanced but it‘s just easy
Done! Thank you guys so much!
Tip: if VPN’s are blocked in your school/workspace, set the port of your VPN to 80 or 443, since these are open ports and most other ports will be most likely blocked!
If they do DPI, that'll still get flagged
@@sundhaug92 unless all https traffic is throttled after some connection time/total transfer threshold - it wouldn't with proper setup.
They had barracuda at my high school. Blocked everything. My workaround as a high schooler was just to RDP into my home PC from school. All windows PC’s/workstations have Remote Desktop Client built in ;)
@@miket5506 "Blocked everything" and RDP working don't go in the same story.
@@sundhaug92 DPI can be circumvented depending on the protocol. There are a lot of VPN to HTTPS proxies that can mask VPN traffic as standard web traffic.
For reason 1) your traffic is probably already encrypted. Most websites that conform to modern standards use https, which involves AES; which is the exact type of encryption most VPNs use anyway. Your ISP and other people already can't see the content of your data - the only thing they can see is where it's going, and maybe where it's from. Which is itself a concern for geo-locked sites, but in terms of your own data security, this hasn't been an actual problem for a few years now.
Never thought I'd see Linus advertising for Coopervision, and this is from someone who works in the optical industry

I make a video that is actually technical and in depth on this subject; from someone who runs numerous servers. (Including protecting your RDP from bruteforcing and such).
Also, don't use protunl. Use OpenVPN for compat. Even smart routers that don't have typical VPN options almost always have OpenVPN support.
My main reason for using a VPN in the past was to get around government censorship while I was living in a country that had very strict censorship laws. I used shadowsocksr on a vultr vps server and it was pretty decent.
We gonna show you how to setup a VPN. Also literally sets a Laptop on fire
4:00 "at least one core"
lmao, so half a core won't work? I was hoping to save money by not using any processor at all actually xD
You can use a VPN to bypass ISP restrictions on server hosting. You can host whatever you want if you get a dedicated IP vpn from rapidvpn. Pretty much every residential ISP in the US will block server hosting and port forwarding, but I’ve managed to get around it using this and I can host a server from anywhere as long as it can get internet.
TH-cam advertising: IPvanish
Me: Watching video about making my own VPN because I'm interested if I could make my own to drop my current VPN provider
Tried accessing LTT server through a VPN and got a nasty message from Huawei.
Bwahahahaha
dont know why this was so funny but it was AHHA
''speaking of'' is now a cursed quote by you you know. As soon as we hear it most people will just skip ahead.
happened to me in a conversation with a friend. I just started with "speaking of" then he walked away.
@@MrIous99 that happened
Come on don't kink shame people. Some just watch these videos for the "Speaking of" part
I like how Linus left the starter fluid RIGHT NEXT TO THE FIRE
3:05 is this footage of a MacBook thermal throttling?
They should have used the Mac Cheese grater
Use case 5: Linus did it in a video and it looked cool
0:26 "But whether you should... treat your eyes to long-lasting comfort"
When inbefore your Linus video, you get a Linus (Pulsewave ad) video so now you have double the LTT 😍
