Unknown Speaker 0:00 How's it going, everybody?
Welcome back. And today I'm gonna show you guys how to get a Japanese IP address
in order to maybe access their Netflix libraries, chances are, that's what you're trying to do if
you're trying to get a Japanese IP address, or maybe you're trying to get some discounts,
or buy some kind of software that's only available to the Japanese. So, yeah, there's a lot of stuff,
especially when it comes to Netflix, they have a lot of shows that are only kind of exclusive to
the Japanese. And you can only access them by using a reliable VPN that actually can bypass
geo restrictions quickly and reliably, such as Express VPN, you can also use Nord and surf shark,
which are great alternatives, but I'll talk about them later. So for now, let's get straight
into it. If you're interested in any of these VPNs, you can check the description down below
for special deals and discounts. So feel free to take advantage of those. Now, it's pretty simple.
If you want to confirm that you did change your IP address and go to what is my IP address, comm and
check for yourself. As you can tell, I'm connected to Italy. So it's showing the Italian
country here is showing the countries Italy and Italian IP address Excuse me. So it's the same
principle for all VPNs you're going to go to VPN locations, go to Asia Pacific in this case,
and it's right here, Japan, Tokyo, comma Tokyo to doesn't matter, I'm just going to click to pan and
we are in so the moment we are connected the modem connected, I'm going to refresh and make sure that
I did indeed change to a Japanese IP address. And we'll get the result in just a second. There
you go. So the IP address did change indeed, and the country should be Japan. If it's not Japan,
then this is a fraudulent VPN, which Express VPN is definitely not one. So yeah, there we
go. And you don't really need to confirm because if you're using a reliable VPN, like Express VPN,
you don't really need to confirm that you actually did change your IP address every single time. So
yeah, that's pretty much the process, really. So if maybe you're new to VPNs, and you don't
know which one to pick, you know, express Nord and surf shark are some of the best in the industry.
So let's kind of help you through to choose if you're concerned about security,
and just general performance, consistency, and most of all security, you want to just go with
Express VPN, especially if you're living in Japan, because you can actually sit face up to two years,
if you torrent a if you try if you download a torrent copyrighted file in Japan. So
yeah, be careful. Depending on the country you're living in, there might be some strict
laws when it comes to online activity or possessing copyrighted material.
You might not even know that it's copyrighted material. And you might just download it,
you know, by mistake or something like that. So you want to keep yourself secured at all times.
So you go to options. And Unknown Speaker 3:00
you want to, if you're living in maybe in a country where you don't want your ISP to find out
what you're doing, you want to stop all internet traffic if the VPN disconnects unexpectedly using
the network lock or kill switch. So what this will do if you didn't know when you
connect it to a VPN using the VPN servers, which are secured encrypted, the moment you turn off
your VPN disconnects, you're going to go back to the your internet service providers, servers,
which are encrypt, which are not as encrypted, not as secure and are definitely monitored. So they're
going to know what you're doing online. So if you want to avoid, you know, having their eyes kind of
prying on your activity on your online activity, you want to keep this switch on in order to
stop your internet connection, I want to keep it off because I don't need it. But that's what
it does. Split tunneling will manage connection on a per app basis. So you can select which apps
are connected through the VPN and which apps are not connected. So that's pretty handy.
For protocols, you can use automatic, that's pretty fine. If you're streaming or on a
mobile device, you can use lightweight because lightweight connects almost instantaneously.
And it's great for streaming, just because it connects very, very quickly. And if you're on a
mobile device, it uses less battery. So definitely use that if you're concerned about security,
open VPN will be the best combination of speed and security. So make sure to use that open VPN
is a great, great and very reliable protocol across the board in whichever VPN you're using.
TCP is slow ikf. Two was quick but only works on a handful of servers and lttp is outdated and
not very secure. So forget about it. Now this is an express VPN exclusive,
which will only use Express VPN DNS servers while connected. Now what that's going to do is that
it's going to force the Express VPN DNS onto your device so that it prevents any data from leaking.
So that is a great option to have on no matter what you're doing, whether they're streaming
or torrenting or anything, because it's going to ensure better security and proof formance overall,
you can secure up to five devices per subscription with ExpressVPN. Obviously ExpressVPN comes with
comes at a premium price, since it's a premium service that upholds performance, security, and,
you know, ease of use as their priorities. So, you're going to, you're going to pay just a
little bit extra for that. If you don't want to pay that much extra, you can go with Nord VPN,
you'll still get all the you know, the kill switch to split tunneling, except you'll get something
extra with a kill switch, such as the app kill switch, which will shut down your selected
applications rather than your internet access as a whole. You still get split tunneling, as I said,
you get the wireguard protocol Nord links, which is a quick, very quick protocol and very useful.
And you get your obfuscation. Now obfuscation is already turned on by default, and ExpressVPN. And
the way you kind of add to it is by keeping this on, which will be an added layer of obfuscation.
Now what obfuscation does, if you didn't know, it pretty much makes your traffic look like any
online or browsing traffic, like any regular traffic so that your ISP won't even be able to
tell that you're using a VPN in the first place. This only works with open VPN and Nord. And you
can just turn this on. And if you do turn it on, you'll have much fewer servers at your disposal.
Whereas if you turn it off, you're going to have all the servers available to you. So
yeah, you're only going to be using that if you're living in countries like
Turkey, China, maybe the UAE as well. And like just countries with heavy censorship laws.
And then if you want to secure as many devices as possible, actually an unlimited amount of devices,
you're going to want to use surf shark since Express secures five and Nord
six per subscription, Nord will secure an unlimited amount of devices, and you still get
split tunneling, you still get a kill switch, you it might not be as consistent in terms of speed,
and it will have a questionable zero logs policy, maybe not very transparent.
And they might just be a little bit not maybe not as secure as a Nord VPN ExpressVPN. But if
you just want a VPN that gets the job done not too concerned with security,
it will do great, especially when using the wire guard protocol. It's an amazing protocol. It's a
great value VPN, overall problem is you're gonna have to commit to two years to get that really
good price. Same with Nord VPN, whereas ExpressVPN is only trying to get you to commit to one year so
keep that in mind. Besides that, if you're interested in any of those VPNs Feel free
to check the description and use these discounts and special deals to your advantage. Besides that,
if you have any questions, you can post them down in the comments below. I'll be happy to
answer all of them. And with that being said, I'll see you guys in the
next one. Have a wonderful day. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
