Commercial VPNs probably hurt your privacy and security more than they help. Behind the layers of marketing sits a darker side of the industry. Ask yourself questions like: • Why trust a VPN company and their ISP over my own? • Who’s actually running these companies? • Why so many VPN ads on YouTube? • What’s up with all the review sites? • VPNs are designed to transport devices from a network of low trust to high trust. Or bridge traffic between high and high trust. A site-to-site or corporate VPN both fall in this category. • With commercial VPNs, you’re more likely to be transporting your Internet to a network of lower or uncertain trust. Rather than just your ISP seeing your traffic, you grant this privilege to the VPN provider and their ISP too. • Most of the providers out there are owned by just a few parent companies. Many of them have hidden ownership and conflicting motivations. Many “no-logging” VPN companies have turned out to be doing the opposite. • You shouldn’t use a VPN if: • You want to encrypt your traffic. • Most of your traffic is already encrypted because most common sites support HTTPS. Encrypting your DNS queries is becoming standard too in web browsers. • You want to hide your identity. • There’s all kinds of other metadata in your network packets available to track you. Advanced actors can correlate them to track and discover your location. • There are some cases where using a VPN does make sense though. • You want to mask your IP address. • Circumventing IP blocks to watch Netflix • Getting around national firewalls • Bypassing download limits • Performing offensive security assessments • Conducting OSINT and research • If you do need a VPN, the best option is to do-it-yourself. Tunnel back to a home server. Set up a cloud server. Open-source software like Wireguard, Shadowsocks, and SSH makes this easy. • Not to mention the hundreds of guides out there to follow. • 👍 SUBSCRIBE AND FOLLOW • 🤝 SHARE THIS VIDEO: • https://badvpns.com • 📖 Additional Reading: • https://overengineer.dev/blog/2019/04... • https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/03/p... • / 854131577353367554 • https://drewdevault.com/2019/04/19/Yo... • You might be asking at this point, • 00:00 Should You Stop Using VPNs? • 01:00 The Mysterious History of Snake Oil • 02:09 The Problem With VPNs • 03:46 How People Think VPNs Work • 04:59 What They Don't Tell You About VPNs • 07:42 BadVPNs • 08:10 How the CIA used CryptoAG to Spy on the World • 10:13 How Spy Agencies Would Use VPNs • 11:35 When Should I Use a VPN? • 13:41 Signs of a Trustworthy VPN Provider • #VPN #Privacy #Security
