hey how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to be talking about what tour
guard could be good for as well as recommend three vpns that could be a good alternative depending
on your situation so uh before we end if you guys are interested in any of the vpns mentioned today
you'll find links to special deals and discounts that you won't otherwise find if you go to the vpn
websites directly so feel free to take advantage of those you'll also find full in-depth reviews
giving you an in-depth look into the privacy policy speed streaming and taunting capabilities
as well as securing features to keep that in mind if you guys are interested now torguard is
one of those vpns that allow for probably the highest level of adjustment and configuration
and customization within it you know as you can tell from the settings you know there are plenty
of options all over the place and advanced users will really appreciate the level of customization
that tor guard offers so tour guard could be a great option for those tech savvy users
looking for an open source application they can kind of test and not just that you know if you're
looking for something that also allows for port forwarding for example or if you just want to pick
your own ports here for example with openvpn udp and tcp you could pick your own cipher be it 128
or 256 and all these port options here of course you have open connect with openvpn udp and tcp and
a wireguard option and if you go to the settings you have a kill switch even appearance options
you're able to you know pick from all these different options multiple auto connect options
and in the app kill switch you do get to choose which applications are terminated when the vpn is
disconnected this is a rare feature that you don't see in many vpns you only get to see it on nordvpn
you can type your own connection scripts here and in the network you do get a dns blocker and
in the network section here you do get a kill switch a dns blocker options to use custom dns
so you can set your own custom dns if you would like and there are also preset dns options which
is also another thing that you don't really see so you can just go with the google dns and you'll be
able to use that or you can just turn it off if you don't need it of course the edit option will
allow you to set your own dns if you would like you also get proxy fon you also get proxy options
sock 5 and http and with regards to servers this is where you will get your dedicated ip for
streaming um unfortunately i would not recommend a tour guard for streaming services because they do
allow for only three regions to be unblocked and they'll give you three ip addresses to be used
as the as you can tell here how they've given me and if you want to change regions you'll
actually have to pay i think it was a four dollars to change regions because they only
give you three regions to access for streaming services and if you ever want to change that um
you'll have to pay four dollars to change one of these reasons uh regions which is
uh yeah i definitely would not recommend tour guard for unblocking streaming services so another
great thing of course about tour guard is how open source it is how customizable it can get and
just you know the raw number of options available within the vpn now many users could be deterred or
perhaps intimidated by the amount of options and complexity potential complexity of uh tour guards
so i do still have three suggestions for you guys that'll be expressvpn nordvpn and surf shark
now these are vpns that are just super easy to use there are no complications with regards to using
them they're very secure provably very secure uh they work very well with streaming services
you know using netflix as a reference expressvpn is able to unblock up to 18 netflix libraries 10
with north and 15 with surf shark and expressvpn being specifically capable and very reliable and
consistent when it comes to unblocking united states netflix which most vpns struggle with
so yeah if that's what you're looking for definitely go with expressvpn's got up to 94
countries and over 3 000 servers and it will allow to secure up to five devices per subscription
and unlike tour guard all of these vpns do have split tunneling of course if you know
what split tunneling is split tunneling will allow you to choose which applications are
routed through your vpn and which are not so you know what you could do is perhaps if you'd like
to do so only have your vpn affect your torrenting client while your entire network is left untouched
by your vpn or vice versa of course you get a kill switch as well a handful of protocols
and overall a very convenient experience when it comes to using expressvpn and all these vpns
for that matter you know if you're looking to secure one more device because perhaps
five devices are not enough with expressvpn you can get nordvpn it'll allow you to secure six
devices you get specialty servers you get custom dns uh you get obfuscated servers split tunneling
not only an internet kill switch uh conventional kill switch you also get an app kill switch
which store guard also has and you do get the powerful nordlings protocol making nordvpn the
fastest vpn in the market today about three to five percent faster than expressvpn which is still
very quick on both ends expressvpn which is still very fast by the way in expressvpn's case but it's
just that it's not quite as fast as the nord links protocol but either way they're both super quick
and of course you get an ad blocker and besides that if you're looking for a vpn that secures an
unlimited number of devices without having to use a compatible router then surfshark will definitely
do that for you and it being such a budget friendly and cheap vpn does not mean that you're
getting a cheap service now on paper surfshark is less secure and slower than nordvpn and expressvpn
but that does not mean that it performs poorly it performs very well it's definitely up there
with nordvpn and expressvpn but i'm just saying that it's just not quite as fast as nordvpn and
expressvpn it's not that surf shark is slow it's just that nordvpn and expressvpn are that quick
of course you're still getting a multi-hop and static ip which are which is pretty much the same
as double vpn and static ip which by the way are available in north vpn you just have to switch to
open vpn and you'll get access to dedicated ip and double vpn also you're getting uh the whitelister
which is split tunneling kill switch and an ad blocker and you're getting a wireguard protocol
and a shadow socks proxy protocol which you also saw by the way in uh tour guard just keep in mind
that the shadow software will only secure your browser traffic but it will help you reach banned
websites if you're in a censorship private country and if you're in china it'll help you uh re bypass
the great file of china using no borders mode so yeah overall these three vpns will cater to
i would say over 90 percent of vpn users uh be it uh in terms of performance uh security uh features
and even budgets i mean you've got all types of prices here from expressvpn being the most premium
service and uh well also a service that comes with a premium price and then you've got nordvpn with
plenty of features and at a more affordable price and then you've got the most affordable option
surf shark without cheaping out on performance and security of course again if you guys are
interested in any of these vpns you'll find links to special deals and discounts in the
description down below as well as full reviews if you'd like to learn more about these vpns
besides that thank you guys very much for watching i'll see you guys next one have a wonderful day
