Hey.
What's up, guys?
This is Kevin The Tech Ninja and today we're going to talk about VPN.
Now VPN may not be the sexiest subject to talk about, but with everything that's going
on in the world as far as hacking, leaked information, and stuff like that, VPNs now
are more important than ever.
And if you're wondering what a VPN does, it protect your privacy and encrypts your connection
to servers when you browse the Internet.
So this means your Internet service provider cannot spy on you and know exactly what you're
doing, to sell this information or block you from accessing certain things.
NordVPN has over 1,000 servers in 61 countries and they're always adding more servers.
NordVPN is based out of Panama, which is a premiere location for VPN.
In my use I didn't notice any speed differences, as they have super fast servers.
It didn't matter if I was accessing the Internet via a server in Mexico or Latvia.
The Internet was just as fast if I wasn't using NordVPN.
You can access VPN servers through a super intuitive map with pop-ups that give you all
of the available locations to connect to.
You can also type in any country in the search field and connect from there.
So NordVPN is the only VPN service to get all the green checks from PCMag's VPN line-up
of 2017.
If that hasn't convinced you yet, it was also given the Editor's Choice from PCMag
and is recommended by CNet, Buzzfeed, and Wired.
So pretty much everyone is jumping on NordVPN right now just because of what it offers.
So, speaking about what it offers, let's actually take a look into what VPN offers
for the subscription.
So, unlike other paid VPN services, NordVPN actually allows you to have up to six simultaneous
connections of one account.
This means you could share it with friends or family, or just have all your devices running
at once downloading stuff, if that's what you're into.
Not only that, it's also one of the only ones to give you unlimited and unrestricted
bandwidth for each and every device.
Which means you can pretty much use exactly what you want and when you want on every
single device that's active.
With NordVPN you're given full control of where you're connected and when you're
using iOS, Android or Windows or Mac app.
And there's a dedicated 'Kill Switch' to just kill the connection if you want to
switch off the VPN for a minute.
So let's look at some of the features that you get when you sign up for NordVPN.
For security you get military grade encryption, you get CyberSec which is going to shield
you from intrusive advertisements and malicious online threats.
You also get Double VPN which is going to encrypt your Internet traffic twice to create extra
layer of online privacy.
Now when you use a VPN, you do always lose a little bit of speed, it doesn't matter
who the VPN is.
So, you gonna lose some speed in terms of how fast it is with your regular Internet
with no protection at all and then with a VPN.
So these are the speeds that I got with the VPN and then without the VPN.
Check this out.
Now without a VPN I was getting anywhere between 93 and 73 down, upload speeds were about 34,
33.
And then with the VPN on I was getting speeds of anywhere between 33 and 50.
So download speeds did drop a significant amount.
But you've got to remember those are still very decent speeds and I'm getting way more
protection than I was before.
My upload speeds almost untouched.
Remember, they were 34 on the other one with it off, but with it on I got anywhere 32
and 30.
And again, that's pretty much the same.
The other interesting thing was that actually my ping time were actually lower with the
VPN on vs. with it off.
