Hi josh. I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment. Feedback is important as I know channels like yours put in alot of hardwork producing these videos. I have only had a smartphone for just over a year,a S10. I'm of a generation who didn't grow up with computers and have always struggled to grasp the technology which is why it took me so long to summon up the courage to get one. I must say i am most impressed. I have come along way in 12 months. But confidence still eludes me at times which is where channels like yours come into their own. I am especially grateful to the S10 tutorials and found your Google authenticar and password manager videos most interesting. Please pass on my thanks to all your colleagues in the technology videos space for all the help and guidance given. With out them people like myself would have found learning much more difficult.
Kind regards, Robert lang.

Just started using Mysterium and because it does not use data centre ip addresses it is the only vpn that i have ever used that does not get Geo-blocked by any media companie as it uses residential ip addresses.. no email address
required just a bitcoin payment and it worked first time on my linux system. This is one of the scenarios that bitcoin was created for, so well done Mysterium and well done bitcoin.

Hello Josh. Would be great to see an update on this since it's been 2 years and you said that some key features were under development. Also for another video idea, maybe you could talk about tor over VPN vs VPN over tor. Thanks.

[@sergey_zatsepin]

Has this network similar issues with data safety like exit nodes in Tor, which are available to spy client's traffic?

[@shitsui7567]

hey i have 3 questions
1. do i need to buy a vpn to use Mysterium
2. i know you mentioned you have multiple vpns does Mysterium serve as a all in one or does having other vpns/dvpns apart from Mysterium serve some benefit
3. lets say you can use only one vpn/dvpn what would that be
thank you would love to see an update on Mysterium

[@arkadiuszstanczyk8517]

This is a very good direction. We should all support this idea by using this software and recommending it to others who value privacy.

[@sold8215]

probably not a good idea to share it since the more people that use it the more expensive it is to buy it lmao

[@Dorajwinner]

Could the user of my node see my network traffic or devices connected to that node? What are all the security controls on my node? Also if I use someone else's node can they trace back my connections?
The problem I see with this idea is that the user's traffic is going to unregulated/undocumented networks that could leave users with many unknowns.
This essentially adds another devil to the mix between choosing an ISP, VPN, or random strangers network.

[@RoryNickel]

the latest versions of myst are pretty amazing. you should do another video on this (3 years later)

I have a question I hope can be answered: if you host a node, and someone connects to your node and does illegal things, won’t it look like you yourself are doing this from the perspective of the ISP?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yes, which is why you need to be very careful about how you run a node. Most services like this will give you the option to only choose “white label traffic”, which is considered safe.

[@normalguycap]

That sounds huge and a big turn off. I feel that should have been examined more.

[@hanelyp1]

One of my big questions, how do we know some random node in the network isn't run by a TLA, and siphoning data? Or at least addresses and data quantities for encrypted connections. With TOR it's taken for granted that some nodes may not be trustworthy, and no single node knows the whole picture.
