1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,720
which vpn provider can we trust at this point nordvpn failed to disclose their

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,440
hack in a timely manner tunnelbear and then pia got acquired by mcafee and cape

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:15,280
technologies respectively both companies with spotty histories with respect to

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,840
user privacy i mean it's enough to raise the question can't you just roll a vpn

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:24,400
made by the one person you can definitely trust online yourself the

6
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:28,400
answer is yes you definitely can but whether or not

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,399
you should treat your eyes to long-lasting comfort

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:36,399
and vision performance with a free trial of coopervision biofinity energised

9
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:42,499
contact lenses made for today's digital lifestyle they're at the link below

10
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:52,480
the first question you need to ask yourself is what do i need a vpn for we

11
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:57,280
figure there are roughly four main uses for a vpn at least for now the first is

12
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,920
to secure and encrypt your traffic against prying eyes like your internet

13
00:00:59,199 --> 00:01:06,320
service provider or bad actors on an unsecured wi-fi like say that guy with

14
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,280
his hood up in your local coffee shop i'm not saying he's a bad guy i'm just

15
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:13,680
saying you might want to use your credit card first netflix subscription right

16
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:19,119
which brings us to reason number two accessing region locked content like bbc

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,560
or netflix by masking your ip address and making it appear as though you are

18
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:26,320
accessing it from a different country and well

19
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,960
i'ma have to stop you right there because netflix specifically

20
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:37,360
aggressively blocks any connection coming from a server vpn

21
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:40,240
or data center related ip address so

22
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:45,439
your diy vpn isn't going to work for this unless of course a us-based friend

23
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:49,600
agrees to host a vpn for you at their house giving you access to their network

24
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:54,399
which happens to be use case number three using a vpn to access a remote

25
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,399
secure network let's say you've got a home server and you want to be able to

26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,439
access your files or whatever without opening up an ssh server to the entire

27
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:07,360
internet using a vpn server inside your network's firewall lets you tunnel into

28
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,039
your network remotely via an encrypted connection giving you access to all of

29
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:15,440
the devices on your network as if you were sitting right next to them from

30
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,760
anywhere so if you fall under any of the first three feel free to skip ahead to

31
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:24,080
the tutorial portion of this video where we show you how you can set up a vpn

32
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,520
server by yourself on cheap cloud hosting at a friends or at home for

33
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:35,280
remote access number four is using a vpn to mask your ip for torrenting totally

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:39,680
legal stuff like like Linux iso's this values purposes

35
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:47,680
real talk though many avid torrenters use vpns to avoid dmca notices and

36
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:52,480
potential service throttling that's why the data encryption that a vpn provides

37
00:02:50,239 --> 00:02:56,640
is so important for these use cases if your isp knows what your traffic is they

38
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:00,319
can easily come after you for downloading and sharing copyrighted

39
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:06,000
content should have worn a stealthy hoodie from lttstore.com bud but

40
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:07,920
seriously unfortunately for you diy vpn

41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,720
folks out there if you're trying to run your vpn off of a rented server from a

42
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,480
large hosting provider any abuse reports from your totally legal torrents will

43
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:21,519
simply be forwarded along to you if the account is in your name now you could

44
00:03:18,879 --> 00:03:26,640
get around the in your name bit by using fake information but we obviously can't

45
00:03:24,239 --> 00:03:30,640
endorse fraud and that doesn't help anyway if your provider just throttles

46
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:35,440
your connection or suspends your account for accessing pirated content excuse me

47
00:03:32,959 --> 00:03:40,080
Linux isos so the only way to combat this is to set up your vpn on a virtual

48
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:45,360
machine from a company that's in a country that doesn't abide by the dmca

49
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,799
that way any takedowns they receive will just be routed to the trash now we're

50
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,080
not going to mention any specific providers but if you google dmca ignored

51
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:57,439
countries i'm sure that you can find one that suits your needs once you've

52
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:02,080
selected a provider that works for your use case we can move on to selecting a

53
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,920
vps tier at a bare minimum you're going to want at least one core

54
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:09,519
half a Gigabyte of RAM and enough bandwidth for your application for our

55
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,400
example we're going to be using the lowest tier ipv4 compatible plan from a

56
00:04:12,159 --> 00:04:17,359
cloud hosting company called vulture at just three dollars and fifty cents a

57
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,759
month it's quite competitive with existing public vpn providers if all

58
00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:25,360
you're looking to do is hide your casual web browsing from your isp and wi-fi

59
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:30,880
snoops tutorial time then if you intend to follow along we've got a step-by-step

60
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,479
text version of this at the ltd forum which is linked in the video description

61
00:04:32,479 --> 00:04:38,240
including commands that you can directly copy paste into your terminal for the

62
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,720
video portion we're going to assume that you've already booted up your centos vps

63
00:04:40,479 --> 00:04:47,520
as per the tutorial set up the firewall and that you are ssh in ready to go next

64
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:51,120
thing we need to do is install vpn server software there are lots of

65
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,440
options here but one of the easiest that we found is an open source project

66
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:59,440
called pre-tunnel they've nicely laid out the exact commands that you'll need

67
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:04,080
to get their vpn software installed and working so copy over and run each

68
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:08,800
command individually to add the required repositories and their gpg keys these

69
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:13,120
ensure that the software that we receive has not been tampered with

70
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,800
then install pre-tunnel and mongodb start them and set them to run when your

71
00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:20,000
vps boots at this point you should be able to

72
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:26,240
access your pre-tunnel web interface remotely by entering first https colon

73
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:29,919
slash then the ip of your vm if you cannot access it you likely

74
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,520
didn't configure your vps firewall correctly so make sure you double check

75
00:05:31,759 --> 00:05:37,600
that once you've successfully accessed the panel use the supplied command to

76
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,199
get the setup key click enter and then use the other command to get the default

77
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,120
user and password log in and you'll be prompted to do some

78
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:49,120
initial setup we recommend changing the default username to make it harder to

79
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,120
bruteforce and you can also specify a custom domain here if you don't fancy

80
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:57,440
typing in the ip all the time next create an organization this is

81
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:00,240
basically just a user group and helps keep things

82
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:05,520
well organized following that create a user while being

83
00:06:02,479 --> 00:06:07,360
sure to specify a secure pin

84
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,960
with your user and your org setup head over to the server page and create your

85
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,479
vpn server you're going to want to leave most of the settings here on their

86
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:18,720
defaults except for the port that you previously specified in the firewall and

87
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:22,319
you might want to disable interclient communication and enable multiple device

88
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:28,080
support after linking your organization to the server you can go back to the user page

89
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:34,160
and download the pre-tunnel client straight off of the panel along with

90
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,560
your vpn profile now you connect and bam

91
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:41,440
you've got a shiny new ip address with all of your data encrypted along the way

92
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:45,600
even with our test server located in new york which is almost 3 000 miles away

93
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,080
from our office our latency was obviously worse but we were still able

94
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:53,919
to get speeds of more than 150 megabits at just three dollars and fifty cents a

95
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:59,120
month offering us a near line level experience it's perfect for shopping on

96
00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:04,240
public wi-fi or watching online content without interruptions and without anyone

97
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:09,120
snooping on what you're doing except maybe advertisers but if you

98
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:13,280
