The multi-million dollar question these days is: "Why on earth do people want to be influenced by somebody else"? Why don't people do their own research anymore, ask themselves what are important aspects for them, and thrust themselves.

Good explanation. I use a VPN for privacy reasons. Since all the data is encrypted, the ISP provider can not track the sites, that you have been visiting. The weak point is indeed that you have to trust the VPN provider and that they do not keep logs.

That is to the point. VPN is all about encryption. At the end of tunnel, you are exposed to someone else.

Woah, great video mate!

In certain countries, ISP's are required by law to log everywhere you visit and in some cases, save the actual data stream going to and from your computer. A simple demand for the SSL keys from a site you have visited exposes all the data you have exchanged with that site. A VPN stops the ISP from collecting data on where you visit and it also encrypts the data stream a second time. If you choose a VPN outside the jurisdiction of your country, they simply can't demand the encryption keys to access your data, If the VPN uses perfect forward privacy, even with the keys, they won't be able to decrypt your activities.

So, Your ISP dont know what websites you are visiting ?

I just want to add that another legitimate reason for using a VPN (and also one of the reasons they were developed) is to remotely connect to another (private) network, hence the name "Virtual Private Network". It can be very useful to connect to, for example, your company's intranet to access services within your company's network while working remotely. In this case, the VPN service will be provided by YOUR company of course. Thanks a lot for making this video as it will hopefully clear up the mis-understanding that a lot of people have about VPNs (that VPN companies make them believe!)

@@sgholt Not necessarily. My first use of VPNs was to link several sites in one business so that everyone was on the same apparent LAN, servers synchronised all data immediately and invisibly, and the same logins worked wherever you were on the network, gave access to the same data (and still denied access to anything you would not be accessing), and even allowed you to have the same desktop (subject to screen resolution) if you logged in in the US or UK, as user profiles were replicated along with other data. If someone on a different continent needed a hardcopy of one of the documents you owned, you could print it right to their local printer, although of course, the US use of non-ISO paper sizes did create some formatting problems in the early stages of the roll-out, this was soon eliminated by the use of standard templates which fit on both 8.5"x11" and A4, but with different margins. We just used internal IP addresses in the rfc1918 private sector of 192.168.x.x space, and at a company-wide level supernetted them onto a /21 CIDR network, although locally, each site used a different /24 subnet for its own DHCP server. Given the technology of the time (pre-ADSL) it all worked remarkably well. We even had VOIP working so that a user at any site could dial out of any other site as well as their own, the VOIP software choosing the route which gave the least expensive call automatically. No Warez involved, at all.

That is NOT what VPNs mentioned on youtube are for or sold for. Corporate VPNs are different.
