Really happy for you Rob. I'm sure it was discouraging at first when posting videos urging people to listen to the truth, and your willingness to help them, but being largely unheard. It wasn't because your character, or your content, but solely because it was not the right time for your videos to kick of off. Now the time has come, and even more will be tuning into watch Braxman! The Internet Privacy Guy! As an original subscriber on both of my accounts I can say it has felt pretty good to see you achieve something we all knew you really wanted - to reach people's ears, to help them, and to begin the revolution to stop Big Tech! You hit a gold mine brother; one that took time, hard-work, and patience, and nobody deserves it more than you. Goodluck! Let the views roll in!

Great video! Some nuanced points on the interaction of Tor and VPN missed. There's are use cases and ways to combine these services. Also I would say that this is not the baseline. Understanding and development of good OPSec is fundamental. If your leaking personally revealing data like a sieve; Tor & VpN won't protect you.

If I have my house set up with a VPN and we use it for everything (especially bittorrent) and someone logs on to our main wireless network that is not using a VPN, is all the data in the house exposed just because 1 person's phone on our network not secure, or is it just that 1 person's data not secure, but the rest of the house still is ?

either bandwidth or he's just not willing to deal with the legal headaches/financial cost. if his company is legally based in the US he'd probably need to hand over logs or general user information, or go to court over piracy. edit: the issue could also be that whatever service provider he's using for the vpn disallows bittorrent. i don't know whether he hosts his own infrastructure, though, so these are all just best guesses.

[@robbraxmantech]

Hard to prevent DDOSing since they can DDOS whatever your IP address currently is. But a VPN server is usually a bigger machine so it can handle DDOS better. But VPN slows down gaming since you're creating extra hops. My only point is that there's little privacy benefit since gaming data is limited.

I don't understand your use of SOCKS5. SOCKS5 is a way for a client to tell a proxy server what it wants to connect to, yet you recommend not using a proxy server. And last I checked (many many years ago), it only worked with TCP. Also as I recall, SOCKS5 had nothing to do with encryption but maybe there are newer versions. The advantange of SOCKS5 is that it does not require route table entries nor a tun device but requires client applications to be SOCKS5 configurable. Something like OpenVPN is not SOCKS5 as it will encrypt any IP traffic, be it TCP, UDP, ICMP, whatever. But it requires a route table entry and tun device. So I'm curious to know how BytzVPN works.

[@readme_nfo]

depends on your use case. VPN on only your host machine if you don't mind any and all of your identities you're using on your VMs to be tied to the VPN's IP. in a lot of cases this is fine, but some services (e.g. facebook/google) will be able to build a pattern of your behavior if you haven't used a VPN before. if you want to keep your VPN usage tied only to specific online identities, then you should use it on specific VMs. using windows as a host or guest might be a bad idea for most of this because of the massive amounts of telemetry MS collects as well. there are ways to block the telemetry, but the most effective way to do it is likely windows AME which breaks a lot of MS's telemetry services at the OS level. not here to shill or spread FUD, but it's best to show caution if you take privacy seriously.
