00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:07.040
virtual private networks or vpns for short are used today for many reasons

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:12.799
but all of them fall under the same general umbrella securely connecting an

00:00:10.440 --> 00:00:16.680
individual client off in a PC to a larger server or provider now in the

00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:21.359
past these types of connections were mostly used in business settings when a

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:26.000
large employer wishes to allow employees access to a secured internal network

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:30.439
over the Internet while working from home or in the field but it's becoming

00:00:28.400 --> 00:00:35.600
more and more common now to see them used by even small businesses or even

00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:40.200
individuals who for a range of reasons wish to keep their activities online

00:00:37.360 --> 00:00:44.360
secure and private reasons that range from the completely understandable to

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.879
the legally Andor morally gray to the downright paranoid and delusional now

00:00:46.879 --> 00:00:54.520
the first step of the security process for a VPN involves creating a tunnel

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:56.559
protocol which acts as well a tunnel or

00:00:54.520 --> 00:01:01.000
conduit for the information packets being transferred to pass through it

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.000
creates a security layer which instantly terminates the connection whenever it

00:01:02.559 --> 00:01:09.560
detects an intrusion and then reconnects the client back to the server using a

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:14.360
different route avoiding the compromised Point points or the entire previous

00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:18.960
route alt together the next time around some Services even utilize highly

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:23.079
specified Roots which they consider to be lower risk than other ones usually

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:27.439
based on some sort of internally established metrics or a working

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:32.200
partnership with the operator now inside this protective hard chocolate tunnel is

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:37.320
where the gooey caramel and nougat Center or data can be found this data is

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:41.840
also encrypted as one might expect but on top of this further efforts are made

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:47.799
to ensure that the contents of one's email don't become public Sony anyone

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:52.240
Beyond standard encryption nonlinear transfer methods such as utilizing

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:56.240
multiple routes for the traffic or the introduction of dummy code into the

00:01:53.880 --> 00:02:02.039
information packet prevents prying eyes from seeing anything but a small garbled

00:01:59.039 --> 00:02:04.159
slice of the overall Pi so to summarize

00:02:02.039 --> 00:02:08.879
the way a VPN security works I'll turn this into a classic analogy it's like a

00:02:06.119 --> 00:02:13.840
taco inside a taco within a Taco Bell that's inside a KFC within a mall that's

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.640
inside your brain Okay then lonus if

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:19.560
data transfers happen in basically the same way that all other internet traffic

00:02:17.480 --> 00:02:23.400
does while offering a tremendously higher level of personal protection and

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:27.840
the ability to access secure networks from abroad then there's no downside

00:02:25.480 --> 00:02:32.920
right let's just use them all the time well actually basically yeah VP are

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.319
super cool but come on man these videos are pretty much a formula at this point

00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:41.000
you know the other shoe was going to drop although some VPN companies have

00:02:38.920 --> 00:02:44.000
made utilizing their service as easy as double clicking the correct icon and

00:02:42.519 --> 00:02:48.680
beginning to Surf and they're getting more affordable than ever some pages and

00:02:46.440 --> 00:02:53.080
services might not work correctly over a VPN and content loading performance can

00:02:51.040 --> 00:02:56.519
be affected as well since encryption efforts coupled with what can be

00:02:54.640 --> 00:03:01.200
considered less direct routes can lead to a slower overall experience in many

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:04.640
cases though this can be solved quite easily by keeping another stock web

00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:09.159
browser installed on your computer for non-mission critical use and it's also

00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:13.959
worth noting that many VPN users actually report faster speeds on certain

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:18.200
popular sites such as YouTube at peak times presumably because their traffic

00:03:16.440 --> 00:03:22.159
is avoiding some of the congestion seen along the other traditional routes there

00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:26.319
are some other less easily addressed problems too though in buildings with

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:30.799
shoddy wiring packet loss can look like the network is compromised causing the

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:35.840
connection to be continually dropped and reestablished and another is the widely

00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:40.120
reported one where the NSA in the United States has actually been known to flag

00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:44.200
accounts for using keywords related to accessing these Services meaning that

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:49.879
seeking out extra security could potentially open one up to intrusion

00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.239
speaking of intrusion Dollar Shave Club you know the guys that walk past you

00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:58.640
