I love how he thought that we were actually following along and not eating pizza at 2 am

Wasn’t expecting them to actually set the laptop on fire

Linus: *pouring lighter fluid on laptop* Me: He wouldnt actually do that would he? Linus: *lights laptop on fire* Me: Honestly I'm not surprised.

Me: watched Linus set fire to a laptop Also me: staring a bit too hard at the container of lighter fluid r i g h t next to the fire

Linus 2019: "our sponsor, tunnel bear, the most secure VPN." Linus 2020: you cant trust any VPN, even one made by you

I love how linus has his own ad in ads and his sponsor in the video. That’s massive stonks and i approve it.

I love how you basically roasted all of your previous sponsors at the beginning

"our latency is obviously worse" sees 62 ping ms me laughs in 2075

I use my own VPN to play LAN only games with friends interstate. I've been doing it since Halo:CE and currently do it with minecraft. There's your 5th use case.

...“like your Internet provider or bad actors“ - wait thats the same thing

Linus should set up his own VPN for everyone

*Guess who's not gonna be able to sponsor any VPN service...*

3:02 YES LINUS JUST LEAVE THE BOTTLE OF FLAMMABLE LIQUID NEXT TO THE GROWING FIRE

Linus: TunnelBear can't be trusted Me: Hold on, this whole operation was your idea

What I missed in the "set up VPN"-part was the checkbox "block outside DNS" being checked. Without that, you risk a DNS bleed/leak.

"With clearly worse latency....." proceeds to show 62 ms ping. **Laughs in 500 ms ping**

Linus: The first question you need to ask yourself is "What do I need a VPN for?". Me: Yeah so for legal reasons, I am gonna refrain from saying that...

tunnel bear's death caused grief PIA's sponsorship was hope PIA's death was acceptance and this is the result

I watched this video the day it came out and told myself "as soon as I have a minute I am going to try this approach" - That minute came today and I am so impressed by the findings I'm seeing. Thank you for yet another great piece of content. For anyone curious... I set this up on an AWS EC2 t2.mirco instance and I am seeing speeds at least double that of NordVPN and at some times triple. Ping is 4 times faster also. Streaming live FHD (H264) content through this method is seemless compared to NordVPN. No Stuttering image or buffering. My plan is to test with another instance type with better network bandwidth. Set up time was 25mins.

you guys have stepped up your background music game. I approve!

INTRO: “noob” Didn’t need to come at me like that bro

3:15 when you leave a bottle of liquid lighter next to an open flame. Kudos to LTT!

Privacy should be 100% free. We shouldn't have to fork over our hard-earned dollars when the fourth amendment gave us the right of privacy at birth.

i love that he always has this early 2000 rock band look

3:03 When LTT's insurance company realized its rates were too low. I mean he left the lighter fluid bottle next to fire and the laptop's lithium ion battery. You are asking for a Samsung event to happen with sprinkles on top.

As someone whose last use of torrents was legitimately just getting a Linux iso, I feel simultaneously attacked and vindicated.

3:03 When LTT realized.. they left the bottle on the table xD

Holy fuck… This is why I love Linus tech tips he’s literally so honest it’s almost illegal. He’s always made the best reviews based in science and numbers and even in a… Taboo subject he covered it so well. I love this so much there’s so little of this left on the Internet it seems

Now, I can download Linux ISOs to my heart's content!

Shit. They've ACTUALLY set a laptop on fire. xD

''speaking of'' is now a cursed quote by you you know. As soon as we hear it most people will just skip ahead.

I love how the editor forgot to crop the Google map so we now know Linus's positions

The feeling when you get an ad featuring Linus Tech Tips in Linus Tech Tips

0:15 "Can't you just roll a VPN made by the one person you can definitely trust online? Yourself" People with dissociative identity disorder : nah

Linus as the sketchy guy in the hoodie sniffing packets at the coffee shop is the hardest I've laughed in a while 😂😂😂

I have a Linksys WRT3200ACM router with built in OpenVPN server that I just learned how to setup and all I did was enable it and export a connection file to feed the OpenVPN connect android app on my phone. Works flipping amazing. Now I get full ad blocking thanks to the Raspberry Pi running PiHole on my home network, and I can access my file server super easy using the same local network IP addresses that I would use to access it at home. Crazy cool and super useful.

I hope the FBI doesnt find my secret hard drive full of [Linux ISOs]

LTT: A VPN is good as it keeps you private. Also LTT: Smart home equipment is good. Just ignore that it is constantly listening to you.

0:26 "But whether you should... treat your eyes to long-lasting comfort"

@Linus, I am a fan of your videos. Instead of using 3rd party VPN client, please make a video to use more widely acceptable OpenVPN, and use self generated and self signed keys, or use lightweight WireGuard with SSH public keys without any certificates, also free tier of any cloud provider like AWS or Google can enable you to make your VPN for free for upto a year (if your usage does not exceed 1GB per month), Google Cloud + Outline is also a VPN for novice users. You can also integrate Pi-Hole and Pi-VPN on the same server, that is ad-block and VPN in one package and one connection, you don't need to buy a Rasberry PI or a Pi Zero hardware to use Pi-Hole and Pi-VPN and use DNS over TLS for additional security with CloudFlared. With so many people working from home, this would be more widely used than ever before so we need better ideas to improve privacy and make it almost free and accessible to all. As a word of caution, close management ports from firewall and make the Pi-Hole only accessible over VPN, that way it would not be prone to attacks or abuse.

Always wondered what was more “secure” about sending your traffic to some random company.

3:22 You may not endorse fraud, but you got me hooked on the free robux generator

*Edward Snowden realizing the CIA is after him* 2:45

0:43 that hurted my fellings

I laughed so hard when he lit up that laptop. +1

3:03 left the lighter fluid pretty close there

There's an open source project called Algo that can automatically set up a VPN for you, including spinning up a VPS instance from one of a few major VPS providers, creating certs and and configuring the server. Getting it working is as easy as downloading the project, putting in your API keys and following the prompts.

Reason #5 to use a VPN: You wanna use the internet at school

Are we sure this wasn't just Linus auditioning for the next Jason Bourne installment.

You missed setting up a killswitch. A vpn without one isn't exactly secure

I had a flashback to when I used a VPN to get my AP scores early.

0:58 I use https for that, tysm.

Linus: *burns laptop Me: ...this is fine...

Often feel like I’m the only person who legitimately only torrents Linux ISO’s.

proxies are good enough for the 4th type i found out from my old isp that they dont directly monitor traffic there are companies that connect to torrents log the ip's and sell that information back to the owner of the content simply using a proxy is good enough to evade those types of monitoring

The only VPN I see being the best of the best would be: -Open-Source -Built upon blockchain technology -Constantly randomizing it's IP address (decentralized masking)

Linus saying “aight” is the most uncomfortable thing ever!

McAfee be like: Oh they have a partnership with LTT? - Let's buy them!

4:00 "at least one core" lmao, so half a core won't work? I was hoping to save money by not using any processor at all actually xD

You can use a VPN to bypass ISP restrictions on server hosting. You can host whatever you want if you get a dedicated IP vpn from rapidvpn. Pretty much every residential ISP in the US will block server hosting and port forwarding, but I’ve managed to get around it using this and I can host a server from anywhere as long as it can get internet.

Oh man, I can steal so much Linux this way.

Really love the background music in this one!!

You could add ad blocking on your VPS directly by installing pi-hole on the machine and setting up the VPN to use that machine as DNS server.

I read Linus's policy at 2:36

I literally already did this as soon as I found out about PIA getting acquired by Kape. I deployed to Digital Ocean with AlgoVPN, super easy and not a single issue 2 months in.

*Those fire video after effects looked really believable!*

Can't we have an LTT VPN? We will definitely trust you

dude i just found your channel, aspiring soc analyst here, and you are by far the most entertaining!! subscribing now!!!

Next up, a PiVPN video to complete the whole PiHole setup!

The sped up voice said "condoning or endorsing" But the text on screen said "endorsing or condoning" 🤔

1:08 this doesn't really happen anymore ever. Using a VPN won't help at all with this as literally every single secure site uses encryption. So unless you're putting your card details into dodgy websites which you shouldn't be doing anyway. The dude in the cafe can't do shit

I just got a Pulseway Ad and Linus is featured there, and I thought I was watching a real LTT video.

Looks like someone isn't getting any VPN sponsors anytime soon

even an ad for dispossable contact lenses, wow

You forgot another very important benifit of some. DDoS protection - Such as I host my own OVH Server for this exact reason. I make a video that is actually technical and in depth on this subject; from someone who runs numerous servers. (Including protecting your RDP from bruteforcing and such). Also, don't use protunl. Use OpenVPN for compat. Even smart routers that don't have typical VPN options almost always have OpenVPN support.

Funny thing about the green text in image, that when you add more L - - > hullu it means in Finnish crazy 😂😂

NordVPN was the KZfaq ad 😂

3:05 is this footage of a MacBook thermal throttling?

The problem with own VPN is limitations of protection from the VPS/VM/server hosting company. Once they get the notice, based on the gravity of "act", you can be kicked out and/or handed over to law enforcement. This severity is decided by the local regulations where the IP/VM is hosted at.

Linus should absolutely write text books. In my data communications networking class the text was so dry and such an info dumb it was hard to follow a long but Linus explains things like a human being.

Tip: if VPN’s are blocked in your school/workspace, set the port of your VPN to 80 or 443, since these are open ports and most other ports will be most likely blocked!

We gonna show you how to setup a VPN. Also literally sets a Laptop on fire

Nothing better than an ad with Linus about Pulseway on a Linus's video. Brilliant. :D

You know when a LTT video is pre Covid. No beard and "long" hair linus :D

Tried accessing LTT server through a VPN and got a nasty message from Huawei.

Why not a LTT VPN. Seems like he cares and is more than able to set it up

Linus should start his own VPN Lots of subscribers would pay for it tho Like if you would

Wasn’t expecting Linus TO LEAVE THE BOTTLE NEXT TO THE FIRE !!!!

On a Linus binge love the content keep it up

KZfaq advertising: IPvanish Me: Watching video about making my own VPN because I'm interested if I could make my own to drop my current VPN provider

I'd like to see video of the vapor filled butane container exploding in the studio.

0:28 that segue was actually genius

3:04 "Hmm, still don't think that guy was doing anything shady..." *Continues to sip coffee.*

Use case 5: Linus did it in a video and it looked cool

Never thought I'd see Linus advertising for Coopervision, and this is from someone who works in the optical industry

I host my own VPN & seedbox, the VPN only routes NAS/seedbox traffic, that allows me to map it as a shared network drive, and i can just stream whatever i want and not care about coping files between devices. Pretty easy to do.

1:04 HackerMan 2020 coming to theaters near you!

For reason 1) your traffic is probably already encrypted. Most websites that conform to modern standards use https, which involves AES; which is the exact type of encryption most VPNs use anyway. Your ISP and other people already can't see the content of your data - the only thing they can see is where it's going, and maybe where it's from. Which is itself a concern for geo-locked sites, but in terms of your own data security, this hasn't been an actual problem for a few years now.

Have actually setup a VPN in our office. so when we(teammates) are at home, we can just connect to this Provides access to both our simulation network there, are well as tunneling our internet traffic to make it appear we are there Security wise, since it's full-tunneled; we have web-filtering, IPS, AV and all that stuff setup protecting our internet and intranet traffic

Linus: gets sponsored by Private Internet Access Also Linus: recommends to make your own VPN
