People: "Tor vs VPN, which should I use?" Security experts: "Yes"

. Finally I found a channel worth watching. I lift my hat for the integrity and comprehensiveness of material illustrated. Thank you very much.

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.

This is an amazingly put together video. Thank you for taking your time to teach us a thing or two about internet security.

You explained this issue better in one video than anyone else I’ve yet heard

I like the pace and tone of voice he used to speak. I like his balanced assessment of the uses of both tools. I like that he provided other alternatives, but most of all... MOST OF ALL, I liked that he didnt tell us to like and subscribe before we even understood the value and incentive of his work. I appreciate that. Logged in just to say that and like 👍🏾

This is the greatest video on the subject VPN vs TOR i've seen. Clear, simplified, you explain what each is and their differencies, in less than 10 min. Perfect thanks !

Am an Aussie , we like things explained simply which you have done beautifully!! Subbed and liked 👌😊

This was great information. I had a great understanding but this helps put it into real world terms. Thanks.

Great explanation I've tried VPN and Tor at the same time and my download speeds using torrents was 20% of bandwidth. With a VPN only (fastest server) I got 75% bandwidth. Without any protection I got 60%

Another good alternative is TAILS, which is used on a Flash drive and boots up on your computer - nothing is on your computer, and everything is on your Flash drive or external HDD if you want. It comes with TOR, THUNDERBIRD, an OFFICE to use, Keypass, and a few other items. It is free and not difficult to install on a flash drive. A good video explaining the differences between VPN and TOR and when they should be used.

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!!!

That was an EXCELLENT simple explanation of TOR.

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.

I mainly use a VPN to securely connect to my home network from the outside to access my NAS, website, domotics/IoT, printer, etc. Similarly also use a VPN for accessing any websites securely while on a public Wifi. I would add that to the advantages of a VPN, although "normal" usage of a VPN would be from your home to a defined "outside" securely for indicated reasons as in the video. Tor usage maybe nice for safe but slow browsing from home. using Tor over VPN is interesting for sure. DVPN: I will look into this one. Thanks for the clear explanation and distinction of it all.

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.

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.

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.

Thank you for explaining in simple terms the difference between a TOR network and a VPN
