Unknown Speaker 0:00 How's it going, everybody?
Welcome back. And today I will be showing you guys how to get a Chinese IP address from anywhere.
And I'll be using ExpressVPN to demonstrate that now you can also use Nord VPN and surf shark,
which are great alternatives, cheaper ones that that great budget, you know VPN that get the job
done. But in terms of security, and a truly no logs policy, zero logs policy, in fact,
you're going to want to use ExpressVPN, especially if you're living in countries like China,
where using a VPN is not illegal. But using VPN to kind of get around some of these restrictions
that are imposed by the government could get you in trouble such as a fine for foreigners,
apparently, according to the reports, they have not, they never really got in trouble when it
comes to using VPNs in China, but for Chinese locals, it might be a little more problematic
for them to try to get around these restrictions using a VPN. So if you're interested in any of
these VPN is expressed, in order to serve shark, you'll find links in the description down below.
Hopefully, you can make use of these special deals and offers to save you guys some more cash.
So it's pretty simple. Okay. Using ExpressVPN, you can you can tell here, I'm connected to France,
and what is my IP address, as you can see, does agree that I am in fact in France. So quite
simply, you're going to want to go to locations. Okay. Under Asia Pacific, or you can just look up
China? I don't think I don't think you get anything if you look up China, actually,
China. Yeah. So Hong Kong, I think that's due to the fact that most of the VPN offices are located
in Hong Kong. So you get Hong Kong servers. So you click on Hong Kong, and click OK. Turn it on.
connected me I think there are three or four Hong Kong servers,
it picks whichever it thinks is best for you. And I'm going to refresh, what is my IP address.
And there we go. I'm in China with a Chinese IP address. And now I can access Chinese Netflix,
Chinese market, online markets, or whatever I'm trying to do with a Chinese IP address.
So what's cool about Express is that it has I'm going to turn this off for, for now. I'll show
you guys why ExpressVPN is kind of the best for especially for people that are living in China.
Now first of all, to make sure that your security is maxed out when using a VPN,
you want to make sure your kill switch is on. Because if it's off, let's say,
you know your VPN is on and you're using the VPN provider servers which are encrypted and secured.
If your VPN gets turned off, you will revert back to your internet service providers servers. And
if you're living in a restrictive country, they'll know what you're doing. And that might get you in
trouble or get you a fine or anything like that. So turning on the kill switch will sever your
internet connection, the moment you can disconnect from from the VPN so that your ISP doesn't get,
you know, as far as your ISP is concerned, you're offline. So you don't have to worry about
anything. protocols, you can use lightweight, but it hasn't been proven to be as secure as
open VPN yet. So as far as we're concerned, open VPN is truly the best combination of speed
and security. So you want to go with open VPN VPN, because all of the audits that took place,
examined open VPN, and it proved to be the most secure one. So you want to stick with open VPN,
and it is ExpressVPN. This case, the wire guard protocol or their own version of a wire guard
protocol, which is lightweight. While it may be great for streaming and mobile devices,
because it uses less battery. It's not quite as fast as open VPN and ExpressVPN. 's case, but
the wire guard protocols and surf shark and Nord VPN are actually faster than their open VPN
Unknown Speaker 4:02 counterpart. But Express VPN
open VPN UDP protocol actually kind of rivals the wire guard protocols of surf shark and Nord VPN,
even though wire guard is supposed to be faster than open VPN. But the open VPN in
ExpressVPN is actually quite impressive. And the third option you want to make sure
is checked here is the only use ExpressVPN DNS servers are connected and that'll kind
of force the ExpressVPN DNS onto your device to prevent any data from leaking.
So that'll ensure better performance and better security. It's always good to keep us on at all
times unless you want to kind of use a custom DNS or anything like that. But when you're using
ExpressVPN it's just better to use these because they will be more encrypted for better security,
especially if you're in restrictive countries or censorship or countries with heavy censorship.
So, yeah, and it'll it that's kind of the guarantee as well of ExpressVPN. They have
their office keishon on by default, but this will kind of add an extra layer of security and make
sure that your performance is at its best using the ExpressVPN DNS servers. So yeah, keep all
these on including the kill switch. In my case, you know, I'm not living in a restrictive country.
But if you are, make sure the kill switches on but I don't want to disconnect my connection by
using the kill switch. So yeah, that'll be it. If you're interested in any of these other VPN,
like Nord VPN, let me give you just an example of why for in terms of security, kind of Express
has the edge here. So again, the obfuscation which hides your browsing data and make it look like any
other data so that your ISP won't be able to tell that using a VPN ExpressVPN has it on by default,
but in this case, as you can tell, check this up. So I'm using a whole, I mean, there are a bunch of
servers here, okay, plenty of servers available, but I can't turn on obfuscation using Nord links,
okay, because it's only VPN, it's only a used by, it's only available with the open VPN UDP option,
which is the more more secure option, so it makes sense. But when I turn that on,
I'm going to have much fewer servers at my disposal. So yeah, that you'll you'll have to just
live with that. Besides that, with surf shark, you will also have to use
no borders mode, okay, you're gonna have to turn on no borders mode to get through the
Great Firewall of China. And you can use you can combine it with shadow Sox
for extra obfuscation, Unknown Speaker 7:00
it might affect your speed a little bit more. And you're not going to be using obviously not
wire guard or open v open VPN in this case. So yeah, but if you're looking for a budget
VPN that actually gets the job done, and secures an unlimited amount of devices, and surf shark
is your way to go. If you don't mind paying a little bit more with Nord VPN, keep in mind that
you will have to stick with at least two to three year the two to three year plan with a Nord or
search or depending on the services they have. So the only way to save money with Nord and
surf shark is by subscribing to the two or three year plan plans and in this case,
for Nord and surf shark. However, with Express, the cool thing about Express is that they're not
trying to get you to commit commit for more than one year. So yeah, that's, that's pretty nice.
But you can all you can only secure up to five devices per subscription, six devices with Nord,
and you get a few other a few features with Nord VPN, let me just turn off obfuscated servers here.
And you'll go back and see that we have quite a few specialty servers, so dedicated IP,
double VPN for double the encryption through two VPN tunnels, onion over VPN, and peer to peer for
torrenting. So you get a few, quite a few cool features a couple of extra features with Nord,
and you can secure six devices, however, you get fewer, maybe not as consistent speeds,
not as Nord as ExpressVPN, with surf shark, but you still do get, you know, the split tunneling
and a kill switch, and double VPN and static IP. There are no locks policy is a bit iffy,
but it still gets the job done. And hey, it's a budget VPN that costs like, what I think with the
20, the two month plan, I mean, the two year plan, you you're paying about $2 or $2 and a half
per month with a two year plan, I believe. So it's pretty cheap. I'll try to get you guys some of the
best deals that I can find and post them in the description down below. And you can secure as many
devices as you want. So that's great, especially if you have a large household or a small company
or something like that. So yeah, these these are three great VPNs you can use. If you're interested
in any of them, you'll find links to them in the description down below. Hopefully you can make use
of these specialties and offers if you have any questions let me know in the comments down below.
I'll be happy to answer them. I like and subscribe will help us out a lot and I'll see you guys in
the next one. Have a great day. Transcribed by https://otter.ai
