How to be Invisible Electronically: Part-1 Virtual Privacy Networks VPN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- Situational Awareness... We all claim to be aware. We all claim to be prepared. Some of you carry guns; others far more extreme. However, many of us, myself included, leave ourselves open to surveillance electronically. Our smart phones and internet browsers connect us to far more people than we ever would have agreed to.
So, several months ago, I was approached by an ole SF buddy of mine, EP, whos new full-time job is teaching government and military operators how to be invisible electronically. He said he saw the capable citizens that I was reaching, and he saw the state of our current political and military climate; and he decided he wanted to do his part making concerned citizens into capable citizens.
What we have put together is a series of videos. This is Part-1 of this series. If you missed the intro that came out Wednesday, you can find it in our video archive. We will then add another segment to this series about once a month, as I don't want to bore you all too much. While this topic is not "Sexy Pew Pew" like a lot of other gun channels do; I honestly believe that this is a subject that many should take serious.
Take notes and implement the tips that EP is willing to share with you. I know I did. These are all "open source" techniques, though many agencies wish we were not sharing this information. Still, there comes a time when we must arm ourselves. Knowledge will always be your best weapon. TR

I like this guy. He can explain thing in a way that gives knowledge but at the same time doesn't make you feel stupid.
I dont regret being a patreon of yours, not a single second. You are the only serious channel out there that provides a wide range of informations bringing subject matter experts from various fields, learning about so much stuff for free on your channel is priceless, i know there is stuff us civilians wont know because you guys are not allowed to share it on the open internet but for the amount of valuable informations you guys bring, a big thank you. 625k+ subscribers on the channel, maybe there are people interested in something else than jackassery btw.
Thanks for the support. TR
I have a feeling that lots of “deplorables”, that are being looked at for being a DT, are going to have this video series as some of the last things in their history.
My personal security is: keeping the wifee in not knowing all the ammo I am buying!
Just buy her fake but believable jewelry so when she sees a $5000 purchase she feels special. As your in the next room telling all the guns how special they are.
Haha, yea, fore sure
Lmao, exactly this
Proceeds to comment on TH-cam
I’ll just be over here re-evaluating my one password for everything policy 😬. In all seriousness though this provokes SO many questions for us archaic types, we need EP to come on a livestream so we can ask him stuff!
I use one password based for lots. They are all different but have one pet name in common. Worked well so far🥴
Use one strong password for your password manager, then change all your website passwords to something 20 + in characters (use the password generator).
I created my account while watching the video. Thank you guys very much!
Nice to see him recommending Protonmail. Been using it for a couple years and really like it.👍
Looking forward to the rest of this series!
3:07 If we connect to VPN first, what stops those servers from knowing everything we do? Seems like someone always will know.
Love this topic! More please!
They don’t know who you are. VPN is firewall. Proton Mail is great one. Hasn’t screwed anyone that we know of.
Make sure they have a strictly NO LOGS POLICY, this means they don’t log your connection info and don’t hand it over to any Law Enforcement. Good free one is proton vpn.
I remember reading that ExpressVPN uses RAM to store data, which means it’s constantly being deleted and overwritten, ergo no permanent record of your data
I’m sorry who made that statement that VPN are firewall. They are not they are proxy servers that filter content request. By set of parameter that have nothing to do with Local Host. Also VPN do not make you invisible the ISP still see the POST and GET being sent. They still know your log into a browser, because of Session ID
Thanks for keeping us in the fight Karl.
Great video karl, need more of this bro
Again ,only the best of our countrymen out there doing good work ❤️ thank you
Your only options:
1) Install Linux
2) Use only FOSS applications
3) Dont use any phone (all connect to towers regardless of a VPN)
4) Your CPU still tracks you unless you libre boot an old CPU from before 2010
5) Abandon computers for privacy
I thought a vpn could even be tracked back to you. Isn’t it just a server you go through that’s in a different country
@@my_name_is_chef4856 yes, but mulvad allows you to be more annoymous, but all CPUs have back doors.
@@Bagginsess
Hardware backdoors at that.
How many people actually read the WikiLeaks NSA drop?
I use protonmail however I use brave as my browser. It's a lot more secure than chrome and not as anti free speech as firedix has become. Brave is based on Chrome. You can also use Chromium which is the open source version of Chrome minus all the data analytics being sent to Google. There's also Microsoft Edge which is based on the Chromium code, and Safari on Apple devices.
Trust the Tactical Rifleman Nation! I appreciate it, great idea, I don't know who to believe before, now we know
this is a great series, thanks for branching out to show us.
Great Channel and excellent advise as usual. A must have for anyone serious about personal security.
This was very helpful. Thank you
As I watch this in July of 2022, I hope as the series develops you end up using Tor browser as well.
For browsing Tor is the best.
We need more videos like this
More to come. We filmed a whole series with EP.
Old grunts like myself sure need all this techno info. Ty
Thanks for doing this. I hate when ppl preach about VPN's like they're 100% secure. They're not. What many ppl don't realize is that a VPN is absolutely useless if you're still logging into something like Google or Facebook that tracks your activity. You could use a computer at a library and Google still knows what you did if you're logged in.
Good stuff. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
did Karl have an AOL email account before this? "you've got mail". ;)
So one of the biggest benefits with a VPN actually doesn't really work since companies can 'see' your using it... I've been thinking of using one for the reason to 'be in another country' to be able to access movies that's not available where I actually reside (and after watching this I'll get one for security anyways!) But Netflix seems to not work that way?
Thanks, gents! Great stuff!
These videos have such a low, whispery volume level.
Great work guys, always great to see good people helping good people for the right reasons, this is Hard to find in 2021 Safety is important and I think online safety is always over looked. Also to anyone who hasn't been informed SCOTT from KENTUCKY BALISTICS had a major accident with his 50 bmg and released a video of what happend. Let's wish him well and a speedy recovery. It is a perfect example why everyone should be buying CAT and advanced EDC KITS with quik clot from the TR TEAM, his training and quick response saved his life. This is the reason why we train and prepare.
VPN. Thanks for the suggestion. Good to go.
Good thing to get more people to know and use Protonmail
I'm hoping he gets in the the Linux Kernel.. Probably the safest way to be online. Downside is it isn't used much as a OS system making the OS system not the esiest system to use. But this is a reason why its the safest OS system to use. Update! I just heard him talk about himself using Linux.. Nice!
I have Protonmail. My email and VPN are great and easy to use. I did pay for a 2 year subscription for the pro version. I am watching this video while on the VPN.
I have an android phone (love android) but don't like that it is google. What do you recommend for a smartphone? Should I root the phone? If so, where do I get started?
Excellent video
Good stuff. Thank you.
Love the channel
Great information! Thanks. I’ve had a password manager for years, but I’m on Macs and it’s built into the system, super easy, even for me. A couple of questions though. He mentioned avoiding Google, which I’m fine with for the most part, but if I’m using a VPN can I use Google earth to look at places without being tracked? And he mentioned a “travel router”, I have no idea what that is, and since I do stream Amazon video I need one for that...I think.
I think what he means by a travel router. Is just a cheaper smaller portable wi fi router.
It does not have all the features of your main router. But is good enough
@@crdowney1 I took a look on Amazon and found a number of what they call a travel router. Looks interesting.
Good stuff
Only way to be totally secure is to "Wardrive" on an Open Wifi on a "Live" linux distribution... through a VPN on the "Onion" network... Simple... No Trace...
This is helpful, but, there is no such thing as invisibility on the internet. There is no security. VPNs, especially PPTP (peer to peer tunneling protocol) are all by-passable. Even hax can "easily" bypass a vpn, firewall & system security.
It's smart that you pointed out nodes though, that's how you pwn tor, he who controls the exit nodes, controls the traffic 😉
A VPN will encrypt your traffic, but, same as tor, if you pwn the end points (there are only 2 with a vpn (host and guest)) it's game over.
The only, and I mean only way to be invisible on the internet is to not use it unless you have "diamond opsec". And even then, your still on the internet due to friends, family, and "public video collection". This, is the very first step. Good first step though. Especially for those not technically inclined (boomers), you guys explain it simply and effectively.
Exactly. Once you start anything that transmits information you have become visible. The nsa wasn't born last night.
@@SkeezyFPV Lol. No, they weren't. But even SIG is malable, like putty, to those who know how to be puppeteers & know how to make lemonade out of lemons. You can spam, whatever you want, flawing the bulk collection diagnosis and analytics. Even, I dunno, giving them targets (bad guys). Thus, rendering it, "obsolete".
Good to see them 👀 still though. It's always entertaining to me, when a puppeteer, realizes, that they are the puppet 😆
Because, fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Copius Omnium. With consent of all.
*Pulls puppet string of puppeteer*
The only way to be invisible on the internet is to not be on the internet. Not be involved with any consumer products or have any things related or can be translated to the internet, such as buying from stores that have you check out with an email and such.
We all have to take on a level of risk management on how we use the internet.
I'm a 68 yr old boomer brought up on Fortran, COBOL, Basic, etc. I now use Linux and can hack the ass of most people with Kali. Care to re think Boomer abilities???
@@joshuarramos yes and no. But I'm not going to go into that.
If vault 7, the snowden leaks, the fb1's declas of operation mystic and more taught us anything. It's that all electronics are pwn'd via vault 7, all electronic comms are collected and stored via the snowden leaks and that all phone calls are accessable, screened and stored via the fb1's operation mystic's declas. There still are ways though. And it pisses {them} off 😆
Your Amazon link is OOS.. RED X.
Why does my vpm wont let me get on u tube
I'd like to know how to set up that home router with VPN, and travel router just for TV. Can we get a link/video for how to do that?
This stuff makes my head hurt but it’s stuff we have to learn
Did he recommend the best password managers?
Thank you for great content.
Next in Part-2
Proton mail is solid. And, yes, people stay TF away from anything Google. I would only add that I prefer Duck Duck Go as my web browser. ...Good stuff here, sirs.
Firefox, Duck Duck Go and Nord VPN.
@@lancekilkenny721 Proton vpn for their no logs policy
I'm definitely a caveman when it comes to the internet like you Karl, this is helpful. So if I heard correctly, even if you use a search engine like Duck Duck Go, your internet provider still sees everything. Did I get that right??🤔
Yes, the searches you make out your computer goes through your Internet Providers equipment. Their modem, their cables, then hits different hubs (eithernet repeater, routers).
@@joshuarramos What about if you use your cellphone??
@@americanpatriot6918 change the apps you use. I have Verizon and I use Signal as my default app for text messages instead of the Verizon messenger or Samsung's. Signal encrypts your texts with another Signal user so that neither your phone provider or the phone manufacturer or free unsecured wifi locations can read. I use it with my wife, I have checked our text messages on my Verizon dashboard. I can see basic texts to my family that doesn't use Signal, but I can't see any text to and from my wife.
@@americanpatriot6918 apps that encourage any encryption (real and not a marketing scheme) will be your best bet.
@@americanpatriot6918 to answer your original question, yes your phone provider can see anything you do on your phone.
Would it be best if your proton MAIL userid (and password) is different than your proton VPN userid (and password) since the first time you send an email your user id is made known which is one half of your identity? Thanks
Karl is awesome 😎
Protonmail is awesome. Multiple tek guys recommend it. I just wonder, "there is no free lunch" comes to mind, what do protonmail get from a "free" account?
@J thanks, i didn't know know that. Learn something new every day 😉
Proton is requiring an email address to set up an account
Who else here see's that Google can/will give the government a history of your web visits/purchases from gun stores when the time to confiscate comes.
Yep, also saw that they created a pharmaceutical company
👍
Asking for a friend should we still use FB, Twitter etc? :)
NOT AS BORING AS KARL MADE IT SOUND!!!!!! Thanks for the content!
What's the worst that could happen having a smartphone?
i did use proton vpn, it wont let you use the email and vpn for free 1 or the other so i had to make 2 accounts lol... what does ep think of web browser "brave" ? i can stream youtube with brave but for stageit shows i have to go to google chrome
Did I miss it or did you forget to discuss password keeping?
Just briefly around 8 min mark. Maybe that's in Pt. 2

Part-2
@@TacticalRifleman I was hoping you were going to say that.
I tried going on proton from my ipad and the screen freezes everytime.
Karls making the NSA very unhappy
Does EP have a website thats viewable to the public with this info and more?
No
All Tactical shooting videos will from now on be in slow motion due to VPN !!
I have been using Duck Duck Go
So a VPN takes the place of your browser such as Chrome or Edge?
No. I think it's more like a middle man between you and the internet. You still browse using a normal browser. I could be wrong tho.
Do we need to reconnect phones to the VPN everytime we search online or does it stay connected?
Mine often drops, but I’m in rural areas
And it's nobody's business to know what websites you go to and make you a commodity that they trade off of without your knowledge.
I'm sure, by now, it's accepted that the act of collecting your info, by and of itself, is evidence of bad intentions.
Great video. Will start using VPN today. Is there a way to clear past history from ISP
who else got a add from Google while watching this
Use "AdBlock" on YT no more ads while watching Karl. It's free.
Carl are you guys gonna show how to setup your VPN on your router?
Look up a xr500 gaming router it has that feature. Very rare for others to have that option.
you can use the default ones that require a simple login to the Vpn “hidemyass” any Vpn with it if that Vpn lets you download the config file and it takes some trouble shooting to properly set up.
@@ahahaa1602 ill look into it thanks
Sounded good. I attempted to create an account got step 5 were asks "are you human" & did not get the CAPTCHA option & was not allow to go beyond that point with out giving email or phone number or making donation. I stopped there. Where did stumble from the path.
Turning off VPN resolved issue. That was a little counter intuitive but worked. Back on the path, VPN turned on & email is working. :)
There was no free VPN available when I logged in I have had proton mail for awhile. Am I doing something wrong?
There is a free version
@@TacticalRifleman When I tried just like the video showed it only gave me the 4 dollar or up plans no free plan.
If you’re commenting on TH-cam, everyone knows who and where you are.
Just be careful, some financial websites do not like VPN IP's.
Only if you own that vpn.
TR, EP, VPN , Proton, New email password ,FIRE FOX 🦊 log in don’t log out, I think 🤔 I got it, Karl said something about the basement I don’t have one ☝️😂, Nice show and tell there 📱🖥📡👍👌✌️🇺🇸
When you have a VPN then only the VPN corporation can sell you info.
A lot of these VPN corporations have open sourced codes so that it's peer reviewed by other InfoSec professionals. If you want to check the reliability of the VPNs, verify the checksum of the executable with the company's site that provided the checksum info. This will tell you whether or not the application is the same as the company's or has been changed out for something else.
@@joshuarramos Roger that sir. I figure there is absolutely nothing they can't hack or see. My policy: Here it is b!tch, whatcha gonna do?
@@CatarineausArmory I hear that, think of it as a really thick jersey wall. Even though traffic can get through, the wall with slow done the speed of the traffic. VPNs encryption policies are tough, it'll take multiple NSA super computers a while to crack them.
The ads cant be true cuz i keep getting gay woke ads 😂
Sorry, we have no control over what ads TH-cam puts on our video
learn to install linux. windows spies on you
