    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.
  • @ghostsade3
    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.
  • @FattrTV
    You did a great job breaking things down and not being sensational about things, I appreciate that.
  • @sierratrey
    Thank you for the concise, straightforward ‘yes or no’ answer right from the start.
  • @jjbeanks7093
    As a novice working to enter cybersecurity this has to be the most succinct video on tor vs vpn I’ve seen, thank you!
  • @tomasgomez3617
    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 !
  • @tasisablan3435
    This is an amazingly put together video. Thank you for taking your time to teach us a thing or two about internet security.
  • @johnnyc.5979
    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.
  • @scubajunkie6591
    Am an Aussie , we like things explained simply which you have done beautifully!! Subbed and liked 👌😊
  • @Zedward84
    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.
  • @TheMadHacker
    You explained this issue better in one video than anyone else I’ve yet heard
  • This was great information. I had a great understanding but this helps put it into real world terms. Thanks.
  • @arthurmarek8418
    Good channel thanks.I like speed of delivery and no distracting music plus good information.
  • 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 👍🏾
