Does open-sourcing the code make the vpn vulnerable to being hacked?

[@AllThingsSecured]

No, it doesn’t. It just shows you a copy of what’s going on behind the scenes.

Hey, about your review of Proton VPN, they do have Split Tunnelling feature in Windows and Android app. Don't know why you didn't seem to have them on your Mac.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks! I realized that after finishing this review, which is a bummer. You're right, though - Proton offers split tunneling on Windows and Android only (and I forgot to test on my Android device...I don't have a Windows device).

[@bishals098]

@@AllThingsSecured Also, the free version lets you connect more than one devices at once which you mentioned, is a Premium-only feature. But I use it all the time :)

[@DionMalimbag]

The cons are now that (from a Windows/Android user anyway) is none from your review hehe - WireGuard is now a beta feature. - Split Tunneling is a feature.

HaHa! What a small world! I've been trying to figure out how to get a VPN set up at home, which one, etc, etc. I ran across a video and said, "Hey! I know that guy!" LOL Hope you and the family are doing well! So, I had heard of Proton Mail, but this is the first time I've heard of their VPN. I've been looking at Nord and Express, leaning to Nord. Have you reviewed or had experience with either of them? BTW, you should be very proud of your work on these videos. First rate! I'm enjoying your channel so far. Thanks and best to the family.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Dave! I was just thinking about you and your wife recently. I hope you guys are doing well. Learning Spanish, I see? I use and have reviewed both ExpressVPN and NordVPN, which you can see here: ▶ ExpressVPN Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-aZq2Ibap4p9E ▶ NordVPN Review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHPQl4ahnMR-hM0 In short, it really depends on your needs as to which you choose, but they'll all do a good job for what they're designed to do. Both Express and Nord have apps for Smart TVs and routers, which might be helpful if you use those.

[@NikhchansGaming]

Thanks for the review. The free version is also really good for the limited use I have.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Glad to hear it!

[@antwango]

Just wondering what you're "Limited" use is for context? Just downloaded free, just wondering what all the fuss is about VPNs? I'm not sure l want to be throttled though as I've just finally gotten decent capable internet? when he says slow servers on free for example err how slow /bad is it ? Just wondering if it will take me back to the stone age I've just come from? what do people use VPNs for? For example why isn't a VPN a regular standard thing that the computer does when connecting to internet? Should it, a VPN be on all the time? If not why not? Is there down sides ?

[@adamb3129]

Is Proton free good for someone just wanting to access geoblocked sites for streaming? Can I easily install it on my phone?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Free VPNs generally don't work well for streaming. Casual browsing, maybe, but the speeds aren't fast enough for streaming.

[@speedracer9132]

7:13 am I understanding that this would give me the benefits of tor without using a tor browser, or would I still need both?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Exactly. No need to use the Tor browser.

[@alkoxy]

Hey, so when comparing it to Nord VPN, would the fact that proton has a transparent ownership tip the scales in its favour? Given that they now have split tunnelling and wireguard as beta(hopefully soon to be fully integrated), would this make it a better choice from a trust and a privacy standpoint?

[@AllThingsSecured]

Personally, I would say yes. I still have reservations about NordVPN for a number of reasons, and I like Proton a lot.

[@SF-jf3xv]

Mate, stay away for Nord VPN trust me.

[@squeebbb]

@@SF-jf3xv Why? I always hear they're compromised but my use of it has never seemed to breach security.

nordvpn just got blocked for me from a website i use daily with no solution to fix the issue. Also netflix streaming stopped working a long time ago. i just tried proton and it just works so i'd say workflow wise it's better.besides having a tor network included always best so i am giving proton the win on this one after wasting 2 hrs with nordvpn on chat trying to get it to work. not to mention the way they update the app is rather annoying for me feels like they are breaking stuff more then they fix in those uppdates

Safest? What does that mean to you? Safe in what regard? A government agency can't request access or will the storage break and you lose data?

[@jcepri]

The problem with this for me, and I imagine many more, is it's too damn complicated! Who has time to learn about changing servers, protocols, etc. And who wants a slower connection? The trade off is no privacy, so maybe focus on why someone needs this? I think a majority of us become numb to the lack of privacy to be honest.

[@AllThingsSecured]

I understand the frustration, Jeff. Can you explain how the trade off is no privacy?

[@jcepri]

@@AllThingsSecured if you don't ise a VPN you have less privacy.

[@bulliontoy]

Read my main comment posted just now. Ultimately you have no true privacy with vpn. You're just hopping to the next opening. Any VPN service should have 3 easy buttons: Skip your isp (least private), multi hop (more private), lockdown (most private but you can only use incognito mode and you have to figure out how to block all apps and browsers from connecting to the internet. That's the real truth to this vpn game.

[@nasserim]

One question that I am having trouble finding the answer to is, do I need a certain router to make this VPN work or will it work with the current regular consumer grade Motorola router/modem that I am using? Great video and thanks so much fo the review!

[@AllThingsSecured]

Thanks, David! Any VPN that allows for manual configuration (including ProtonVPN) can be added to a viable router. However, most of the time the router/modem provided by your internet service provider (ISP) won't work for this. You'll need to buy a separate router that allows for VPN configurations. Watch this video for more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfVhKusbZySp7s

[@djfhsbdufje666]

@@AllThingsSecured thanks for the quick reply. Thanks for confirming that the only way to use a VPN is by buying a router that will support a VPN. Do you think they will come up with a VPN that you don’t need a special router for?

[@AllThingsSecured]

You can use SmartDNS with any router, but that’s not the same. I think the biggest thing is that encryption requires computing power, and most cheap router/modems just can’t handle that. Your connection would be too slow.

It depends on what you need. ProtonVPN is great if you're looking for more privacy. I also enjoy ExpressVPN and Surfshark.

[@jpgrygus]

Free Proton VPN wont allow P2P connection......so Torrents are out. But planning to get a paid version so this function will be available.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Yea, that's true for most VPN services.

[@bulliontoy]

No point of paying for tor P2p. It's free and all servers are free to use. Once you singup for this vpn they still connect to free public tor. That's the whole point of tor. If you use private servers for tor thne it's not actually private at all. The only way to use tor most securely is have your own exit node and use the regular tor. Using a VPN service for tor makes no sense at all.
