Nice video! Companies use more VPNs than individuals for security reasons, but having a centralized server is actually dangerous...Data leakage is almost unavoidable.

You should mention after connectiing to VPN now you are trusting your data with that 3rd party company and you should check their policy for keeping records on the traffic you sent through them. E.g. How long they will keep a record of my activity.

I'm in high school and these kinds of videos are really helpful and informative. Thanks, Gary.

Brilliant. I've watched loads of these videos. But your diagrams and explanation especially at 7:00 - 7:40 are the first that actually makes sense. Thanks so much.

Excellent vid. I wish every video was as clear, precise and helpful as this one. Top man, thank you. :)

Nice. Beautifully, explained, simply, explained. Easy for everyone to understand. CONGRATULATIONS sir. Great video. With best wishes.

Thank you for the explanation, the added illustrations made it easier to understand.

Thanks, much appreciated! I’m new to this VPN stuff but old in years. Love travelling as cheap as possible so am expecting and hoping this direct access for flights and accommodation will be worth the cost of VPN.

I've got a Computer Science GCSE exam this Wednesday, this helped me understand networks better, thank you! :)

Best, most comprehensive explanation of VPN ever! Thanks!

I was looking for an explanation of VPN that my brain could almost understand, and this video is it! Great video!

Very helpful video best one I found so far, I’m doing my research before i start using VPN.

finally, an instructional video that doesn't waste time with introductions, opening videos or adverts. You get straight to the point, thank you

This android authority intro is awesome, nice video as well.

With my lack of computer knowledge this is a little more than clear as mud to me. Thank you I’ll need to start studying more so I can understand more clearly.

Great video. Thanks a lot for this lesson I learned so much about VPN, and I will definitely consider it to subscribe for one.

Great Job, Gary. I now understand why I have been hacked so many times. Thank You for the network protection.

Very helpful video, to the best of my knowledge though the server dealing with the requested web page won’t have any info on you. Firstly you’ll have a private IP so it will only go as far as your ISP’s router. After that, I think as the request makes its way over routers, they only hold a copy of the last IP requesting it - stored in the routing table. So if the request hops across five routers, each router will only know the IP of the previous router. Eventually it can work it’s way back to your ISP router, which has a record of the router IP that made the original request, sending it to your home router, which in turn holds a record of the IP of the device wanting the page. I’m happy to be proved wrong here if anyone has good knowledge on how the data packets make their way across.

Great video, A little bit of additional information: A IP Adres does not have to be like how he described it can also be a more modern version called IPV6. Where ipv4 adresses are running out, ipv6 has more adresses available. A ipv4 adress looks like : 1.160.10.240 where a ipv6 looks like this > 3ffe:1900:4545:3:200:f8ff:fe21:67cf The reason why I mention this is because, if there are so many ipv6 adresses the adresses will no longer be linked to region or a city. Instead it will be linked to your personal device! They dont have to guess anything about you anymore, they will be able to track you down to the very device and house what you used to access the data. For this reason VPN is very important in that case then it is when you have a Ipv4 adress!

Gary....You did an amazing job with the explanation. I will share this vid with anyone who wants to understand the BASICs of VPN. Well done!

I could listen to you the whole day! If you'd been my teacher I would have learned more at school. No matter about what you're talking, it's interesting!! Keep on!

Thank you for explaining Gary!) Personally, I use VeePN and I can only say good about it) Affordable price, high-speed access and personal data protection.

Cheers, great vid! I use Boleh VPN and I'm all done... speed, price, customer service.. There are many of us using this service. They're great, respect for them!

just finished making my first track! thanks bro for all the help with learning soft soft. much love

Good explanation ,, thank you sir.

Good explanation

Gary, there are additional factors to consider: whether the VPN is tracking your browsing habits, whether they're logging your IP, their jurisdiction, the user's location, and whether they physically own and operate their own DNS servers. The best do no track or log, own their own equipment, provide powerful encryption, and can't answer to any subpoenas because the don't maintain the info sought by authorities. In addition, there's the WebRTC exploit that revels IP addresses between certain browsers even if you're using a VPN.

Beautifully explained. Thank you so much for sharing!

thank you so much Gary! God speed :)

So if in use a VPN and look up said taboo subject you were talking about would my ISP still be able to see that I looked that up or just that some random person looked it up

Thanks for explaining this clearly and concisely.

Simple and to the point of the subject topic matter. Clear concise explanations of how things work. I actually subscribed.

This is a feature of VPNs that isn't its original purpose. Useful information for individuals trying to hide or change their identity on the Internet, but NOT what people traditionally use VPNs for. The original idea was to connect private networks over the Internet to each other encrypted. It had nothing to do with "hiding" or changing your geolocation, but instead just connecting in a way that was secure and seemless.

Awesome thankyou.. Please make one on seed box.

Thank you for clarifying this topic.

Thank you for an understandable explanation. So good.

Thank you

i know that this is gonna sound like a stupid question but can you establish a vpn or a temporary vpn with a device on a public connection to create an encrypted connection?

well done, very clear , concise , informative to the point. Professional, what you expect !!!

Its this time of the week! Gary.

This guy explains soo good!! Hail Gary🙌

Hi, when you say dont do banking in a coffee shop.... would the fact it's an httpS site not encrypt anyway?

Gary this is a most excellent presentation.Thank you .

best explanation i've found online, thanks a bunch!

I use vpn so I can use the school Wi-Fi without being blocked out of some apps

But, usually our data is already encrypted by "https" without using VPN.

Thanks, Gary! Clear and concise explanation...just what I needed to know.

Thank you so much for sharing this informative video here.

"rooooter o modeeem" 😂😂😂😂

So if I use a public WiFi hotspot, and I first connected to my vpn, then went to PayPal, what would a potential hacker see, just the vpn server I'm connected to? Nothing else? The hacker can't then follow the trail from the vpn server onto PayPal?

back in and recently got soft soft again, it felt strange and i had previously just taught myself the software. Finding your videos is helping

Thank you again for your video. This one was very instructive for me.

we Chinese using vpn to break the stupid Great Wall!

question what's the difference between free VPN and paid VPN?

Wonderful explanation - top man! Thank you.

I hate videos with so much fluff before they get to the question they implied they would be answering. This video was not that. It provided nothing but great and useful information. Straigh to the point! It is not an easy subject to explain but this guy answered it perfectly and the visuals were very helpful. Thank you!!!

Full of information but he talks so fast. So hard for me to understand since I'm not a techy person. But overall it seems that the video do have a lot of information needed to know what VPN is.

we people use VPNs for breaking the GREAT FIRE WALL... lol

Thanks Gary, terrific job of explaining VPN.

Very clear explanation! Thank you so much.

i got some doubts 1) does the internet provider knows that i am using vpn? 2) and does the vpn provider know what i am accessing to ? 3) is their any chance that vpn provider can know my passwords of the sites that i visit to?

Petition to elect Gary to every elected office available.

This was very helpful! Thank you.

Gary is so good, keep this up! :D

the hospital next to where i live has free public wifi. I use it everyday and i already cut my cable company and flipped them off!

I've been in IT for over 20 years, I have never heard a router get called a rooter. I'm pretty sure a rooter is for up clogging a sewer line.

This video is so helpful for college studies can you please do more videos on programming and c++

thank you for your explanation☺ could you please have a description for remote access vpn?

What is a rooter?😜

Can it protect me from article 13?

amazing explanation Gary , thank you

The more you understand it, the more you will explain it simply. Thanks alot

Who's hyped for bf1? :D

very well presented thank you Gary !

keep up the good topic and explanation Gary :)

Gary you took my topic. lol. I was going to drop a video about this. lol

Excellent tutorial skills. thank you

Hi Gary, What VPN personally you are using? How do you know which vpn server best to connect to enjoy better deal & connectiion? There so many servers?

Thanks for your input 👍 very useful information How private is our data while in use of vpn.

Good explanation. I had no idea what is was just knew when I work from home with my company laptop, company had given me this VPN I have to use.

Great vid and explained it to me thanx,but I understand that as my service provider no longer recognises me it won,t work and also my antivirus.

always awesome Simple and Straightforward.....

Thanks! Informative..

Great explanations. Thanks Mr.

Thorough and clear explanation! Thanks!

Many thanks for an excellent video. I have a few questions which I hope you can help with. At home my laptop, tablet and phone all go through my one router. So let's say I subscribe to a vpn service, do I get all my devices on the same service for the price of one? Also, can I take any of my devices to the local open hotspot and still be protected? One more question please: What if I want to do my on-line banking, (from home) now the bank sees a different IP address, will they let me in? Many thanks again.

You can also set up something like SoftEther VPN on a server or computer at home, connect to it with an encrypted VPN connection and access your home network or the internet securely as if you are from home. It's free, pretty sweet and not really that hard to setup!

Very detailed and clear explanation of VPN , Thank you

Great explanation. Great video.

does VPN can still access to Line and Telepram through my macbook?

Thanks Gary excellent explanation much appreciated

This is incredible, Short, precise information I sought. Thanks.

Great tutorial, thanks Gary.

You actually explained it very well. Smashed it

Thank you for a very clear explanation of VPN's. Now I know that I need to get one.

Awesome video on VPN service and how it works. Actually watched it all the way through. 😀

You guys should make more videos like this, it's really helpful!

IOT as well needs good traffic routing policies on your network

Gary you are the best instructor here on UKposts

I'm interested in finding out the technical specifics on how isp cab obtain so much information especially location from your ip address
