@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.

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.

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

NordVPN was the KZbin ad 😂

[@johngaltline9933]

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.

[@jat1668]

I had an ipvanish ad.

[@fuchs4]

@@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.

[@johngaltline9933]

@@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.

[@cl0udbear]

@@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.

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.

[@coolbrotherf127]

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.

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!

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?

You forgot another very important benifit of some. DDoS protection - Such as I host my own OVH Server for this exact reason. 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.
