VPN - Virtual Private Networking

[@_ALLEGORY_]

Just learnt a whole lot about VPN's from a prisoner.

[@a.miller3909]

Many people don't know what a prisoner did before he was arrested.

[@FireAKADrazn]

+Naffi Axx I believe it was a joke about how he was wearing orange ;3

[@widebandrecords902]

woyeeeee

[@zdeadhead]

Dude, I've watched a lot of your videos over the years. I've learned a lot from you, I owe you a lot of thanks. Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff and for making it available, it's such a huge thing. Thanks for breaking down the individual components of the IT world and making them understandable. You really helped me man. Know that.

[@leijing767]

Well explained! What do you think about decentralized VPN then? Is it safer than a traditional VPN?

[@bsjndbjsnx2581]

My idea is that a Decentralized VPN is better, because you do not have to rely on a third party which means you are the owner of your own data. We may be in the early stages, but decentralization is the future.

[@leijing767]

​@hye quin that's my biggest concern as well.

[@afrohead2192]

+Afro Head Yeah, it is true, mine too. But why?

[@anvarghafurov4914]

+Afro Head Yeah, hahaha

[@ambermelton3386]

+Afro Head Pretty happy with HideMyAss www.hidemyass.com/vpn/r20533/ myself, it doesn't saturate my cable connection, but it's definitely fast enough. You have to connect to certain servers for torrent ports. Not using torrents anymore but when I was, speed didn't seem to be an issue for me on those servers.

Eli, you are the best! This is what we need to learn IT! you are an IT Professor!!!!!!

[@MarkTurnerChromium]

Very useful video! You get straight to the point and do a good job of explaining the underlying technologies, much better than a lot of KZbin channels that dumb things down far too much, and just tell you what a VPN does - something you could Google in about two minutes.

You're KZbin's top computer guy. You simplify everything and make it easy for beginners to understand many different IT concepts. Good video!

[@helounet3134]

[@jarrahfitzgerald2752]

HideMyAss passed on their activity logs when asked to by authorities. This helped in the arrest of LulzSec members. If security/anonymity is your concern (I'd assume it is if you're using VPN's) then best to look at providers that don't keep these logs. HideMyAss keeps log on and log off times, at the very least, and will pass them onto authorities when asked to do so. Doubt anyone serious would recommend them these days.

ELI! Thanks for the videos you are doing a terrific job at explaining and simplifying the technical bull**** into relevant language and examples. I wanted to offer a suggestion. . . with all due respect. I think you should create a "Course Test" for each video that folks like myself can take to enforce the concepts of your video training. I think you could be huge!! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the computer/networking world.

[@williamh1179]

dude just wanted to let you know your videos are really well written. I'm a Network Engineer and I listen to your videos for refreshers. you really know what your talking about. keep it up!

[@Manero666]

You can hear from both speakers if you unplug the headphones jack a little bit

[@sivakrishnat8225]

Summary: 1. VPN creates a tunnel between server and client where all the transmitted data is encrypted. 2. When a hacker tries to break into the tunnel, then the tunnel closes up and creates a new tunnel. 3. Upload speeds matter for VPN

[@jenndarcis]

Take a shot every time he says "penetrate the tunnel".

[@abhyudaychattopadhyay8632]

My left ear just learned VPN!! It is attaining more and more knowledge as I am diving deep into your channel!

[@Brainbuster]

I still don't understand what a "tunnel" really is. What is the tunnel made of?

[@coldzeroan]

good question i would like to know the answer too

[@walkingbobblehead]

think of this Internet traffic is a river You connect a pipe from one end to the other in that river. That pipe is a tunnel in that river. With VPN the pipe structure is encrypted coding that is with other internet traffic, but it is structurally unique

[@Brainbuster]

I appreciate the metaphor, but I understand what a real-life tunnel is. And I understand how information sent/received can be encrypted. But I still don't understand what the walls of the tunnel are made of. The tunnel in the river may be made out of metal or concrete. But what can a tunnel mean regarding internet traffic?

[@michalfrass]

Brainbuster walls of the tunnel are made of bricks and grout..

[@walkingbobblehead]

well to understand that, you have to understand how packets of information flow over the internet basically it will be layer - 1st header[where it is going/from] 2nd data 3 header. in encryption the packet is like this - 1st header 2nd encryption 3 data 4 encryption 5 header. Technically this isn't exact, but for a basic idea, easier to understand this is how it works. but research packet TCP/IP to really understand

[@iSk00L]

To fix the annoying sound problem with this video, try this quick fix (Windows 10): 1. Right click volume icon on taskbar, and go to *Playback Devices* 2. Click on the sound device you are using (typically your speakers/headphones) and click on *Properties* 3. Go to the *Enhancements" tab, and enable *Headphone Virtualization*/ 4. You will need to reload this KZbin video for it to take effect. You should now get sound on both speakers/headphones.

The internet was created by a British Computer Scientist (Sir Tim Berners-Lee). Typical American arrogance... You call yourself a computer guy yet you fall for the myth/urban legend that it was created by the US military to combat nuclear war. A quote for you: "The widespread urban legend that the Internet was designed to resist a nuclear attack likely arose as a result of Baran's earlier work on packet switching, which did focus on redundancy in the face of a nuclear "holocaust" Read up on it...

A lot of shit was made in america by non-american, mostly by guy from europe

[@temle7489]

LOL why do Americans control the internet though dumbass LOL yeah he created it but he didn't know what to do LOL

[@PompeyMatt17]

Common misconception. Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web, not the internet. They are different things. The internet stems from ARPAnet which is indeed American military based. Berners Lee invented the Language we now use on the internet, web browsers, hyperlinks etc. The infrastructure was the internet, the way we communicate over it is the World Wide Web...

[@attech7215]

hi sir

[@pmull252]

This is not entirely correct? Initially he talks about not using a VPN, and a man in the middle being able to spy on our data if he gets access to one of the routers. If we are using HTTPS as the application protocol to communicate, the data will be encrypted anyways between the computer in Seattle and the destination computer in DC? The data will still be encrypted when it reaches the routers on the way? Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@hoomanhu]

yes HTTPS is encrypted but there are ways that you can bypass https using attacks like ssl tripping. Also, in https the payload is encrypted and the header is not, the header is the reason the routers are able to route the packet on the internet and we know the header can have a ton of information that a hacker can use. In tunneling/vpn the concept of encapsulation comes into play, where the packets are encapsulated within the packets. The packet which is encapsulated and it is the main ip packet that is going to let us inside of our private network is totally encrypted including the header and the payload so, all of the packet is not readable, which means if we only use this packet to reach the network, we will get nowhere because the header is encrypted and the router can't read it and therefore won't route it. We then take another ip packet and encapsulate our encrypted packet inside of this packet. Now we have packet in a packet. The outer packet acts as a tunnel and has header not encrypted. This is tunnel, it allows us to make a connection to our router's public side and the payload part of this tunnel contains our totally encrypted packet. Now if the hacker tries to hack this, they will get the header of the tunnel which only tells about the public network and the routing path and nothing about the private path. If the hacker bypasses the https and is able to decrypt the payload of the tunnel he will only get the fully encrypted ip packet whose header is also encrypted. The hacker therefore, won't have any clue about which machine are we trying to access and the private addresses of our computers inside of our private network. so, we are adding a whole new layer of security using VPNs.

[@hoomanhu]

This totally encrypted packet is then decrypted by our VPN server and we can access the network. i know i replied a little late, maybe you already got the answer and it might be a bit confusing but i hope it helps :)

[@pmull252]

@@hoomanhu Cool. Thanks for that. I understood how a VPN works by completely encrypting a packet and encapsulating this packet in a transport packet. By only using just HTTPS, the packet headers are exposed.. Good point.

I;m sure many other channel viewers have found Eli's content helpful during early stages of a networking/sys admin contracting career 3/ That said, hope he re-discovers that Eli.... a splits his channel into however many he needs...so that this channel stays a rich source for great networking technology tutorials for newbie's looking for a quick primer, that is well delivered from an actual expert. I'm staying subscribed in the hope of a course-correction....back to the channel that's the first stop ..when tech hits you with another *'What the f8k is this sh88 moment?!"
