I have a query, which CA is issuing TLS certificates to onion urls? All I know is entire onion urls are unofficial in this case how they get TLS certificate from trusted CA.
You are the one channel I actually recommend when it comes to layman cybersecurity. My friend had an identity theft episode because he didn't take his security seriously and after extensive research (which began before his episode) I recommended to him chiefly two things: That he use 2-factor authentication (most important IMO) and that he also not reuse passwords. I remember he shared with me his Hulu password and it was only five characters and also his first name. That's when I knew he needed help... The only channel I've ever recommended to others about their online security is yours. Because you've earned it. And I thank you for that.
@@vgwarelearning4057 No, that's not what he said - he's talking about a tech that combines the 2, not "connecting to a vpn and then use Tor). In fact, Tor actually states on their website NOT to use a VPN and then use Tor.

We sell a VPN service to individuals (and offices), but the key advantage of our service besides encryption is that it places the user behind a next-generation firewall. That can be our data center or in their own home (permitting them to appear to be using the Internet from their home even when traveling). This provides essential protection from many forms of hacking and malware.
I just found your channel via this video. Very educational on Tor & VPN strengths & weaknesses. When you pointed out that ppl handling their keys to commercial VPNs, it confirmed my suspicion on why I didn’t get a VPN yet & I’m gonna use the Tor/VPN solution that you suggested since I just downloaded Tor today.
@@jim-7965 If you run a VM and connect to a VPN and Tor inside it, even if someone manages to find your data it belongs to the VM and not your actual device. To put it simply, think of a VM like a garbage bag: even if you fill it with garbage, your home stays clean. After it's full, you just replace it with a new bag. Thats basically how a VM can act for your device. Basically it creates a virtual computer that runs through an app instead of hardware. If you configure a VM properly on a network level, you can avoid getting your device fingerprinted (ID'd) since the VM will get fingerprinted instead your host device. Any system data collected is isolated from your physical device and belongs to the VM, which you can restart (Just like any garbage you collect is seperate from your home and belongs in the garbage bag, which you can just replace). That's also how VMs protect you from malware. Any malware downloaded will only affect the VM and not your actual device. So if you're worried about suspicious files just use a VM to test first.
VPN might actually also help on ISP spying. They (ISP) can't see the content of a secure page but they sure can see the URLs of the pages that you visit and also the protocols that you are using. Plus they (all of them) have direct access and monitoring on your local network through the pre-compromised backdoor (aka service) accounts that are invisible and preinstalled on you free ISP router. That alone is a good reason for VPN usage and that is what most of people mean when they are talking about VPN privacy.
@@ORION-ir5dx I agree about ISP: They can see anything trough the router. Some time ago, i put some "barriers" to minimize the exposition: Firewall (physical) between the router and my network. Also, behind of firewall, i put an enterprise grade core switch with VLANS and multiple network segments. Nothing is 100% secure but its better than nothing :)
They can't see protocol for sure beyond IP which is fundamental for routing. UDP and TCP packets could be identified but ports are used, and protocol is not guaranteed. Sure some simple heuristics are right 99% of the time, but these generic protocols can be used however you program them to.
I just found your channel! I've been asking myself so many of these quotations about how secure or private are these services. Thank you so much for making these videos!!!
Excellent presenter. Content and delivery are spot on. Production quality is not the most sophisticated... but the content and the strength of the presenter steal the show. Liked. Subscribed.
Very professionally made video, clear and concise, and looks like you spent some time editing this. I learned something, since I use express vpn, but not a tor router.
Very complete and correct information, hope it helps clarifying false claims. Also... uh... never thought of routing TOR through a VPN but the video has a point there. As for TOR, it's prolly invincible, for most if not all practical purposes, tracking it is just beyond difficult.
I mostly use TOR to get access to various sites which are normally blocked. For example z library. I want to use vpn and see how it works. Can you suggest some good vpn services?
4:47 There is a third option, in being to be able to use it as part of a server-client configuration to force a specific routing. Since the infrastructure is run on AS and BGP (paraphrased) your ISP throws your traffic a certain way and from there it gets taken over by the nodes owned by the company who set it up, which in turn they (aka the localized network) decides which way your traffic should go to reach a cetain destination. And sometimes that "order of last resort" method is resulting in a less than optimal path, causing higher packet loss and latency.
Trying to use TOR to access any sites in Japan is phenomenally difficult - out of 30-40 attempts to login to Pixiv art community I accessed it twice after endless rounds of Captcha verifications....very, very frustrating....been using Express vpn for about 6 months and I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
why does my GOOGLE browsernot allow access to a particular ITV HUB show series (Coronation Street) , while allowing access to others when using EXPRESSVPN or NORDVPN when conncted to a UK server from France?
Your video is presented so well for someone like me that has nothing to hide but needs geo axsess to tv viewing but the way you explain it makes me want to learn more and to learn from advancing technology thanks for this so easy to understand and learn from
What if you introduced a virtual machine? Or nested virtualization? Does that add anything good for the user? Or is that just way too much effort/doing really add anything?
Another good video, brief and to the point. Well explained without amateur dramatics or childish cartoons. I am a recent subscriber to your channel based on your simplistic approach to the topic. I like the explanation for TOR and the good supposition as to who owns/pays for the data throughput on it's servers and exit nodes. Thank you.
It protects your data from anybody trying to snoop through the WiFi, but again, you’re now putting your trust in the VPN company instead. It’s a trade off.
I use a VPN to avoid streaming caps by my mobile data provider. They cap my streaming speeds at 480P even though I have unlimited data but the second I turn on my VPN I can stream 4K if I really wanted it but I normally stream with 1080P.
yesss. when I try to watch youtube on my phone with mobile data videos buffer forever even in 144p. as soon as I turn on a VPN I can watch 4k without any buffering
I think if you're running an exit node, it should always be on top of a VPN connection. Exit nodes are often targets, you don't want to advertise your real IP.
@@AllThingsSecured There's not that much to worry about. If you're on a VPN to start with, you won't be getting all sorts of letters from your ISP. And if you do get an attack, it's mostly DDoS types, which switching VPN server sort of solves. If no one ran exit nodes, the network wouldn't work.
Hi Josh....love your amazing videos. Question, I downloaded Tor a couple of weeks ago, didn't use it yet till I know what I'm doing. Yesterday I was cleaning old photos - images I have in my Mac documents, and I found inside of one of my wife's real Estate folders, a lot of hidden Tor stuff. This never happend before, and I got nervous and deleted Tor. I also found the regular Tor foulder in the applications folder, which is normal. Any advice on this subject, will be appreciated. Thanks
"I'm not talking about illegal activity" - proceeds to describe illegal activities in lots of countries around the world. Let's face it, we are all criminals in some part of the world and our daily activities would get severely punished by some authoritarian regime. And it's not like our democracies can't become authoritarian - just look at what's going on these days with individual freedom and how much information our governments want to know for the least justified reasons. We all need privacy and we shouldn't have to justify it.
What if your computer has already been hacked, then you downloaded Express VPN and Tor. Does the hacker still have access to your computer? And if yes, what do you do in this case?
I guess it depends on what kind of hack. If somebody has backdoor access to your device, then it really doesn't matter what kind of privacy software you use. In this case, you need to run antivirus/malware removal software or just start using a different device.
@@AllThingsSecured I was going to answer the same question but you gave an answer whilst offering up a Solution Your video was AMAZING! By the way! I'm in a bit of a predicament with all that at the moment, so I spent all day watching numerous videos all touting something as the best one minute and the next the other one they did a poor review on previously, I couldn't make up my mind what direction I needed to go in, however your very clear and concise and very helpful video, taught me a lot in 10 minutes than 8 hours of watching these promoters selling their VPN and AV links. Nice work youv'e got a subscription out of me! Thank you!
hi i need help on vpns as my country blocked them and now I can't assess twitter or most of my social accounts I need a way to bypass the cencorship and enjoy my social apps is tor good for it like I have no interest in dark web and in fact it scares me so what should I do your help will mean a lot.
Thank you for the easy to understand explanation! I will follow for more! I do have a question (sorry for the long question)...Let's say Im working remotely for a big bank. They provide me with a company laptop, VPN and a Yubikey (which allows access to their system each day). Per their policy I'm NOT allowed to log into there network if I'm outside of the US but I need to travel outside of US at some point. Their VPN DOES support the country I'm traveling to but regardless of that I'm "not allowed" to. I obviously can't install any personal VPN to their computer (and it already had the company VPN installed) BUT I can purchase a router from Express VPN (for example) and connect to it as if it were WIFI without an issue. Now I'd be using double VPN to maintain my location private. I know my speed would probably be impacted
Would I have any issues? Are there any risks of them finding out that I am in fact outside of US. Do you have any recommendation or suggestions? I know that banks have better security and can probably bypass certain things but I am unsure. I don't want to lose my job! Thank you in advance! Keep the videos coming!
I agree with you on your points and technical remarks; it must be said is much easier to access your data from your provider, than ask them to a vpn service located in a different country, so it’s an additional strong bureaucratic barrier.
Thanks for the video. I live in China and just want to browse the web, Facebook , WhatsApp etc. The problem is with VPN is is that they are targeted by the censorship authorities. No matter what these companies claim they don't often work especially on windows . I've tried all the big ones over the last ten years. It's blatantly miss selling and everytime you contact customer service that just say the VPN "temporarily" is not working in China. Nord VPN and Express VPN have been down for near 6 months now. I'm using Android and a 3rd VPN to post this comment but I really need to use windows in my daily job and access Google servers
@@AllThingsSecured I had a bad computer, so that added to it. But trying Tor today, it seems everything I search on it comes back at a potential security risk and refuses to let me advance.
Josh, thanks for another great video-- really enjoying your channel and the privacy tech you discuss. I wonder if you're aware of any tools that help protect against browser fingerprinting? If so, any chance we could see a video on this? After all, any other methods of privacy are a whole lot less effective if your browser is screaming out "Hey- this is who I am!" Thanks again
Hey! I'm not sure which of the two to use for surfing FB market place. I don't have a FB acct, but I'm going to open one just so I can access market place since I have no interest in FB. I just want to protect as much of my data from them as I can. I'm even opening an email acct just for this
Yes, very similar. At its core, Brave is mostly about blocking ads and tracking, but when you use the private window with Tor, it’s using the same Tor network that the Tor browser does.
Not exactly. Tor Browser is made to make it harder to fingerprint you, and has things that could leak your IP address removed. If you want anonymity, you should use it.
I'm from the Philippines an average user of the internet. Is the a free vpn i can use for browsing? What will be the difference between the paid vpn and the free one.
What about Tor+VPN vs Anonymous Proxies accessed the traditional and "ironclad" way? *I don't know much about this subject ATM, but from what I have read over the last 25 years, elite proxies are superior to the aforementioned; the only thing superior will be a burner phone with an outdated computer obtained used and by discrete purchase.*
What if the website host tell people that they must use VPN to access their site due to security concerns such as a hospital website for patients to access their personal information. In this case, should patients use Tor or VPN?
I've never heard of a hospital making this type of request, but if it's really sensitive information and speed is not an issue, I would probably lean toward Tor.
I'm about to move away in a bit. I want a way to communicate with my parents without the risk of them (or whoever they get involved with) finding out where I went. I plan on using the TOR browser using protonmail to communicate with them. Is that enough to protect me, or should I take one step further and use a VPN?
Jimmy Threet 0 seconds ago 00:49 Incorrect statement. You CAN have 100% anonymity while using the internet. Buy one of those throw-away phones from Wal Mart, while having your full face covid mask on, using cash. Pay for the 'time card' that activates the phone using cash, make a fake e-mail address and log on to any free internet source and enjoy COMPLETE 100% ANONYMITY ONLINE. Your welcome Reply Jimmy Threet Jimmy Threet 1 second ago By the way... No VPN or TOR Needed!!!
I've read that VPNs can thwart ISP throttling. Is this hype or is there any truth? I'm considering a VPN mostly for streaming, but also for some security when accessing public wi-fi.
Yes, but usually it has to be a different method. So you can't run two VPN softwares on a single device, usually, but you could set up a VPN on your router and then on the device.
Any chance you could explain/compare e.g. installed TorGuard vs Firefox TorGuard extension, and how that works in the background if we for whatever reason switch to Chrome to see if a website loads better... Hope what I wrote makes sense? :)
... should we have VPN on at all times? What happens if we're accessing our bank account via VPN and the website thinks it might be accessed by "the bad guys", so we turn it off and then access it? Does that defy the purpose of safe(er) access and we should rely on the 2 step authentication? Apologies if you already talked about all this in some of your videos. I've just came across your channel. All the best!
@@vladimirolujic6637 You can turn your VPN off and on when needed. I use a dedicated VPN for banking and financial transactions when overseas. The bank now "recognizes" the fixed IP address and it works just the same. No challenges or delays.
Hi Josh!What do you think of ExpressVPN?Is it a good choice for full anonymity?Or can you recommend something even better?Thanks in advance for your reply.
I use ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN and NordVPN. They're all good services, in my opinion, and continuing to improve in their transparency and privacy features.

That's also how VMs protect you from malware. Any malware downloaded will only affect the VM and not your actual device. So if you're worried about suspicious files just use a VM to test first.
VPN might actually also help on ISP spying. They (ISP) can't see the content of a secure page but they sure can see the URLs of the pages that you visit and also the protocols that you are using. Plus they (all of them) have direct access and monitoring on your local network through the pre-compromised backdoor (aka service) accounts that are invisible and preinstalled on you free ISP router. That alone is a good reason for VPN usage and that is what most of people mean when they are talking about VPN privacy.
You mean without VPN, ISP can see the contents of secure page such as an email inbox?
This statement is not unconfusing
@@ORION-ir5dx I agree about ISP: They can see anything trough the router. Some time ago, i put some "barriers" to minimize the exposition: Firewall (physical) between the router and my network. Also, behind of firewall, i put an enterprise grade core switch with VLANS and multiple network segments. Nothing is 100% secure but its better than nothing :)
The question is if DNS goes through the VPN or not. If it does, its encrypted and the ISP cannot see it. Otherwise you must find a way to secure DNS.
They can't see protocol for sure beyond IP which is fundamental for routing. UDP and TCP packets could be identified but ports are used, and protocol is not guaranteed. Sure some simple heuristics are right 99% of the time, but these generic protocols can be used however you program them to.
I just found your channel! I've been asking myself so many of these quotations about how secure or private are these services.
Thank you so much for making these videos!!!
Thanks, Tyler!!
Am an Aussie , we like things explained simply which you have done beautifully!! Subbed and liked 👌😊
Ha! Thanks!
Excellent presenter. Content and delivery are spot on. Production quality is not the most sophisticated... but the content and the strength of the presenter steal the show. Liked. Subscribed.
Thanks. Quality gets better with every video, I hope.
Very professionally made video, clear and concise, and looks like you spent some time editing this. I learned something, since I use express vpn, but not a tor router.
You did a great job breaking things down and not being sensational about things, I appreciate that.
Thank you for explaining in simple terms the difference between a TOR network and a VPN
My pleasure!
I hit the "like" button and subscribed because of the info you provided. It was clear and simple, therefore easy to follow and understand. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
Good channel thanks.I like speed of delivery and no distracting music plus good information.
Awesome, thank you!
Very complete and correct information, hope it helps clarifying false claims. Also... uh... never thought of routing TOR through a VPN but the video has a point there. As for TOR, it's prolly invincible, for most if not all practical purposes, tracking it is just beyond difficult.
It would be very difficult to track, that’s for sure.
I mostly use TOR to get access to various sites which are normally blocked. For example z library. I want to use vpn and see how it works. Can you suggest some good vpn services?
4:47 There is a third option, in being to be able to use it as part of a server-client configuration to force a specific routing. Since the infrastructure is run on AS and BGP (paraphrased) your ISP throws your traffic a certain way and from there it gets taken over by the nodes owned by the company who set it up, which in turn they (aka the localized network) decides which way your traffic should go to reach a cetain destination. And sometimes that "order of last resort" method is resulting in a less than optimal path, causing higher packet loss and latency.
Huh? The average persons response. Which is why we are all fair game to the world of CROOKED
Trying to use TOR to access any sites in Japan is phenomenally difficult - out of 30-40 attempts to login to Pixiv art community I accessed it twice after endless rounds of Captcha verifications....very, very frustrating....been using Express vpn for about 6 months and I'd give it a 10 out of 10.
You're the first youtuber that talks about dvpn nice
I’m sure I’m not the first, but thanks!

An accurate and factually correct report, very nice.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you very much for this video, for this topic. Yes, it really does take time and money to make a very good video. Thumbs up!
Glad it was helpful! And thanks for the thumbs up/comment :)
Amazing video my amigo, cheers from Venezuela.
can you explain further and provide an example for when you said "if your data presents a danger to you tor is your best option"?
why does my GOOGLE browsernot allow access to a particular ITV HUB show series (Coronation Street) , while allowing access to others when using EXPRESSVPN or NORDVPN when conncted to a UK server from France?
Your video is presented so well for someone like me that has nothing to hide but needs geo axsess to tv viewing but the way you explain it makes me want to learn more and to learn
from advancing technology thanks for this so easy to understand and learn from
That analogy and simple explanation was amazingly well said for someone kind of slow like me
Glad to hear it, Adrian!
Thank you for the concise, straightforward ‘yes or no’ answer right from the start.
This so straight to the point and informative. Top quality channel here on security, hands down.
Thanks 🙏
What if you introduced a virtual machine? Or nested virtualization? Does that add anything good for the user? Or is that just way too much effort/doing really add anything?
I just tried tracert command with ProtonVPN and I could see the difference with VPN enabled and off. How does it look with Tor ?
Nice tutorial Micheal, great video to get us started. May you tell - how do I link two or more channels (in the rack channel) as to share the sa
What if i first reconfigure my DNS server, download a VPN and get the TOR browser?
Another good video, brief and to the point. Well explained without amateur dramatics or childish cartoons. I am a recent subscriber to your channel based on your simplistic approach to the topic. I like the explanation for TOR and the good supposition as to who owns/pays for the data throughput on it's servers and exit nodes.
Thank you.
Me Too!
Great channel, great info in a layman's explanation yet covered in a professional manner, Thanks and Glad i Subbed
Question: Do you think using a VPN suffice to encrypt data and hide what you are doing on your pc/smartphone when using Public WIFI?
It protects your data from anybody trying to snoop through the WiFi, but again, you’re now putting your trust in the VPN company instead. It’s a trade off.
@@AllThingsSecured what if I set up a vpn server in my home?
thanks for the info. retired and can't afford cell phone internet. what are your thoughts?😕
I use a VPN to avoid streaming caps by my mobile data provider. They cap my streaming speeds at 480P even though I have unlimited data but the second I turn on my VPN I can stream 4K if I really wanted it but I normally stream with 1080P.
yesss. when I try to watch youtube on my phone with mobile data videos buffer forever even in 144p. as soon as I turn on a VPN I can watch 4k without any buffering
What if I use Tor browser with my VPN and then go to a proxy website?
Better off using Tor by itself
what about clouds e.g aws, are they provide 100 anonymity? or like vpn they store my data and can be selling it?
Guys is "Onion over VPN" just if u activate a bridge in the Tor browser before u connect to it?? or is that another thing entirely
Very clear to understand. Thanks ! Subbed.
Thanks Jafer! 🙏
I think if you're running an exit node, it should always be on top of a VPN connection. Exit nodes are often targets, you don't want to advertise your real IP.
You have to really know what you’re doing to be a Tor exit node.
@@AllThingsSecured There's not that much to worry about. If you're on a VPN to start with, you won't be getting all sorts of letters from your ISP. And if you do get an attack, it's mostly DDoS types, which switching VPN server sort of solves.
If no one ran exit nodes, the network wouldn't work.
First time on this channel, great info. subscribed and liked.
I'm a newbie soft soft (20.9) user, and I'm on Mac 10.14. Would you please help about how to select
Early on, You ntion a tutorial You've made, concerning the content setup. I can't seem to see it in Your description though?
I always learn anything new from your vids
Glad to hear it!
Hi Josh....love your amazing videos. Question, I downloaded Tor a couple of weeks ago, didn't use it yet till I know what I'm doing. Yesterday I was cleaning old photos - images I have in my Mac documents, and I found inside of one of my wife's real Estate folders, a lot of hidden Tor stuff. This never happend before, and I got nervous and deleted Tor. I also found the regular Tor foulder in the applications folder, which is normal. Any advice on this subject, will be appreciated. Thanks
Thanks Rudy. Honestly, I don’t have any idea why you would have Tor files there. I assume you just downloaded the Tor browser, correct?
@@AllThingsSecured Yes Sir...only the browser. Do you trust Tor?? maybe I downloaded it from the wrong web, who knows..thanks anyway.
"I'm not talking about illegal activity" - proceeds to describe illegal activities in lots of countries around the world.
Let's face it, we are all criminals in some part of the world and our daily activities would get severely punished by some authoritarian regime. And it's not like our democracies can't become authoritarian - just look at what's going on these days with individual freedom and how much information our governments want to know for the least justified reasons. We all need privacy and we shouldn't have to justify it.
What if your computer has already been hacked, then you downloaded Express VPN and Tor. Does the hacker still have access to your computer? And if yes, what do you do in this case?
I guess it depends on what kind of hack. If somebody has backdoor access to your device, then it really doesn't matter what kind of privacy software you use. In this case, you need to run antivirus/malware removal software or just start using a different device.
@drew_hacks01 on Telegram helped me with good and strong VPN thanks for your time
@@stevenfurticksupport5073 shut up man no one cares
@@stevenfurticksupport5073 just get express VPN or private internet access
@@AllThingsSecured I was going to answer the same question but you gave an answer whilst offering up a Solution Your video was AMAZING! By the way! I'm in a bit of a predicament with all that at the moment, so I spent all day watching numerous videos all touting something as the best one minute and the next the other one they did a poor review on previously, I couldn't make up my mind what direction I needed to go in, however your very clear and concise and very helpful video, taught me a lot in 10 minutes than 8 hours of watching these promoters selling their VPN and AV links. Nice work youv'e got a subscription out of me! Thank you!
This dude is awesome, great vids!
hi i need help on vpns as my country blocked them and now I can't assess twitter or most of my social accounts I need a way to bypass the cencorship and enjoy my social apps is tor good for it like I have no interest in dark web and in fact it scares me so what should I do your help will mean a lot.
If I use WiFi can the things I search up be looked at by the admin of the internet like your parent’s or someone else
I think they can only know what webs you're visiting.
But the real question is :
Can they still know after using a VPN or a ToR?
Thank you for the easy to understand explanation! I will follow for more! I do have a question (sorry for the long question)...Let's say Im working remotely for a big bank. They provide me with a company laptop, VPN and a Yubikey (which allows access to their system each day). Per their policy I'm NOT allowed to log into there network if I'm outside of the US but I need to travel outside of US at some point. Their VPN DOES support the country I'm traveling to but regardless of that I'm "not allowed" to. I obviously can't install any personal VPN to their computer (and it already had the company VPN installed) BUT I can purchase a router from Express VPN (for example) and connect to it as if it were WIFI without an issue. Now I'd be using double VPN to maintain my location private. I know my speed would probably be impacted
Would I have any issues? Are there any risks of them finding out that I am in fact outside of US. Do you have any recommendation or suggestions? I know that banks have better security and can probably bypass certain things but I am unsure. I don't want to lose my job! Thank you in advance! Keep the videos coming!
Did you get fired yet?
I agree with you on your points and technical remarks; it must be said is much easier to access your data from your provider, than ask them to a vpn service located in a different country, so it’s an additional strong bureaucratic barrier.
love your videos very informative. just a question ive decided to try tor for windows 10 and the tor home screen is in gibberish any clues as to why ?
Try asking for help in Torproject's forums. Also worth reporting the bug in their gitlab.
Yea, sorry I can’t help much with that.
This video was perfect perfect perfect keep up the good work and I'm subscribed for life.👍
Thanks for the video. I live in China and just want to browse the web, Facebook , WhatsApp etc. The problem is with VPN is is that they are targeted by the censorship authorities. No matter what these companies claim they don't often work especially on windows . I've tried all the big ones over the last ten years.
It's blatantly miss selling and everytime you contact customer service that just say the VPN "temporarily" is not working in China. Nord VPN and Express VPN have been down for near 6 months now.
I'm using Android and a 3rd VPN to post this comment but I really need to use windows in my daily job and access Google servers
Yea, China has always cracked down on VPNs and made it hard. Have you ever tried Shadowsocks?
@@AllThingsSecured no, i haven't . Will have a look. Thanks
shadowsocks之类直接上路由器或者软路由，或者clash，surge用电脑或者安卓手机。VPN早就不靠谱了
Can you connect laptop to laptop and go through my phone and use my hotspot for internet?
I had wondered why I did stop using Tor, until you said that it was slow. Oh boy, I remember now.
Oh yea, very slow.
@@AllThingsSecured I had a bad computer, so that added to it. But trying Tor today, it seems everything I search on it comes back at a potential security risk and refuses to let me advance.
Josh, thanks for another great video-- really enjoying your channel and the privacy tech you discuss. I wonder if you're aware of any tools that help protect against browser fingerprinting? If so, any chance we could see a video on this? After all, any other methods of privacy are a whole lot less effective if your browser is screaming out "Hey- this is who I am!" Thanks again
Great suggestion, Joe! I’ll add it to the list.
Hey! I'm not sure which of the two to use for surfing FB market place. I don't have a FB acct, but I'm going to open one just so I can access market place since I have no interest in FB. I just want to protect as much of my data from them as I can. I'm even opening an email acct just for this
In order to use FB marketplace, you have to be logged into your Facebook account, so using Tor or a VPN doesn't help in any way with privacy.
WOW! This was expertly presented. You have a new subscriber!
Thanks, Elijah!
Tor browser & the private window with tor included in the brave browser, are they similar?
Yes, very similar. At its core, Brave is mostly about blocking ads and tracking, but when you use the private window with Tor, it’s using the same Tor network that the Tor browser does.
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks for the info.
My pleasure, Sai! Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍🏻
Not exactly. Tor Browser is made to make it harder to fingerprint you, and has things that could leak your IP address removed. If you want anonymity, you should use it.
@@eds7406 exactly. Using the tor feature in brave isn’t very practical because the original tor browser makes it harder to fingerprint you
Great Explanation, this really helped me to understand better between VPN and TOR
Josh, thank you for such a good video.
My pleasure!
I'm from the Philippines an average user of the internet. Is the a free vpn i can use for browsing? What will be the difference between the paid vpn and the free one.
What happens when you TOR inside a regular VPN?
Will Torr or a VPN protect my credit card number from being stolen on public library Wifi ?
I guess, but if you’re using an https secured website, you’re just as protected.
@@AllThingsSecured I have had my credit card number stolen twice on library Wifi :(
whats best for downloading videos from alternate sites?
Thoughtfully composed narration. Well done.
Thanks 🙏
Do it matter which I get first, internet or a VPN? And which VPN co would you suggest 1st 2nd and 3rd as a good choice?
What about Tor+VPN vs Anonymous Proxies accessed the traditional and "ironclad" way?
*I don't know much about this subject ATM, but from what I have read over the last 25 years, elite proxies are superior to the aforementioned; the only thing superior will be a burner phone with an outdated computer obtained used and by discrete purchase.*
What if the website host tell people that they must use VPN to access their site due to security concerns such as a hospital website for patients to access their personal information.
In this case, should patients use Tor or VPN?
I've never heard of a hospital making this type of request, but if it's really sensitive information and speed is not an issue, I would probably lean toward Tor.
I'm about to move away in a bit. I want a way to communicate with my parents without the risk of them (or whoever they get involved with) finding out where I went.
I plan on using the TOR browser using protonmail to communicate with them. Is that enough to protect me, or should I take one step further and use a VPN?

00:49 Incorrect statement. You CAN have 100% anonymity while using the internet. Buy one of those throw-away phones from Wal Mart, while having your full face covid mask on, using cash. Pay for the 'time card' that activates the phone using cash, make a fake e-mail address and log on to any free internet source and enjoy COMPLETE 100% ANONYMITY ONLINE. Your welcome

By the way... No VPN or TOR Needed!!!
I've read that VPNs can thwart ISP throttling. Is this hype or is there any truth? I'm considering a VPN mostly for streaming, but also for some security when accessing public wi-fi.
is it possible to connect to a 2nd VPN provider AFTER you connected to a 1st VPN provider? kind of like double VPN layer (small onion)
Yes, but usually it has to be a different method. So you can't run two VPN softwares on a single device, usually, but you could set up a VPN on your router and then on the device.
Any chance you could explain/compare e.g. installed TorGuard vs Firefox TorGuard extension, and how that works in the background if we for whatever reason switch to Chrome to see if a website loads better... Hope what I wrote makes sense? :)
... should we have VPN on at all times? What happens if we're accessing our bank account via VPN and the website thinks it might be accessed by "the bad guys", so we turn it off and then access it? Does that defy the purpose of safe(er) access and we should rely on the 2 step authentication? Apologies if you already talked about all this in some of your videos. I've just came across your channel. All the best!
@@vladimirolujic6637 You can turn your VPN off and on when needed. I use a dedicated VPN for banking and financial transactions when overseas. The bank now "recognizes" the fixed IP address and it works just the same. No challenges or delays.

What is this DVPN you are mentioning at the end???
how do you add a sample in that you have on your mac already
Can you combine a VPN with Tor? Is there an advantage?
Lol just got to 7:10
Connecting to a VPN and THEN the Tor network isn't going to hide that your using Tor because the exit note is a Tor node?
I can’t drag content / sample into my playlist on Mac? Anyone know how to fix

What is the chance that TOR is also a US govt project that is packaged as a secured anonymous service?
I guess there's always a chance.
How is data sent back from a server to my computer through tor?
ah that was very helpful, simple, and informative. Subbed & Thanks
Thanks for the sub!
Hi Josh!What do you think of ExpressVPN?Is it a good choice for full anonymity?Or can you recommend something even better?Thanks in advance for your reply.
I use ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN and NordVPN. They're all good services, in my opinion, and continuing to improve in their transparency and privacy features.
