how's it going everybody welcome back and in this video i'm going to be comparing
expressvpn versus nord versus surf shark now just to let you guys know i am going to be
talking about the privacy policy uh briefly quite briefly and if you're interested in
um while just getting to know these vpns in more of an in-depth look uh you'll find reviews down
below i'll be sure to link them in the description you also find links to special deals and discounts
in this video though i'll be talking about the features i'll tell you what i know about the speed
um and of course if you're looking for speed results you'll find them in the reviews below but
i'll tell you guys from my experience of using these vpns for months and months on end
so okay let's start with the privacy policy now with regards to privacy policies most vpns claim a
no logs policy however most vpns don't exactly provide any proof of uh such privacy policies
if they uphold the integrity of their privacy policies and with expressvpn nordvpn and surfshark
they are my top three vpns for a reason and that's because they all have evidence of their privacy
policies first of all they all run their servers on ram disk servers in expressvpn it's called
trusted server technology and this is what happens when you run your servers on rams rather than
hard drives which means that all the data will be wiped with every machine reboot as
vpn servers run on ram only these servers never write to the hard drive since there
is no hard drive further minimizing uh data risk so on and so forth and of course the same
applies to nordvpn and surfshark they all run on ram drives so this is great okay and of course
uh besides the ram drives they all have independent audit reports to show that they do
uphold their uh no locks policies and that they prioritize their users privacy as promised in
their privacy policy and they all have independent audit reports to show for it they are all public
um they're a bit more public with servchark and expressvpn as in you can just go to the
privacy policy and check out the pdfs or rather the blog posts right here and you can just check
out the pdfs the full report is right here with uh surf shark and the full report is right here with
expressvpn whereas with nordvpn you actually have to log into your account in order to access
their audits and there are many audits with nordvpn specifically so yeah overall you can
definitely trust nordvpn surfshark expressvpn with regards to their privacy policies and
their their promise of a no locks policy especially with expressvpn since in turkey in 2017
the turkish government seized an expressvpn server as part of an investigation and uh you
know thanks to the true no locks policy they were still unable to extract any information out of the
servers thanks to their true no logs policy okay now with regards to speed i want to just give you
guys a quick rundown on the speed of express nord and surf shark typically when using avpn obviously
if you didn't know the speed goes down but these vpns will minimize your speed drops to well the
bare minimum especially with nord vpn's nord links protocol which is a powerful protocol making nord
links arguably the fastest vpn in the business today now in order to get the best speeds you want
to make sure you're using the best protocols and that'll be the wire guard protocol with
surfshort the nord lynx protocol with nordvpn and the lightweight udp protocol with expressvpn and
all these vpns will make sure that your speed drop will uh be minimized as much as possible really
so you can expect a speed drop between around 10 and 20 to 25 percent with nordvpn uh the speed
drop will be about 15 to 25 or 30 percent with expressvpn and with surf shark roughly the same
between you know about 18 and 30 35 so this is considered great you know you don't want to reach
the 50 and over because you don't want your uh let's say download speeds or streaming speeds to
get cut in half and these vpns definitely do a great job speaking of streaming all these vpns
are able to unblock many streaming services and geo restrictions using netflix as a reference
expressvpn is able to unblock up to 18 netflix libraries 10 with more than 15 with surf shark
and you know generally speaking these are the confirmed libraries you may even be able to
unblock even more libraries if you do your own testing and naturally you'll be able to unblock
more geo restrictions with expressvpn since it has up to 94 countries and over 3000 servers
whereas with nordvpn you have over 5100 or 200 servers in 60 countries so that's 34 less
countries than expressvpn so make sure that the countries you're looking for are available in
nord if you don't want to go with expressvpn or if you just want to go with as much for a variety as
possible you can go with expressvpn uh now surf shark is definitely going to be a little bit in
between with over 3200 servers in 65 countries so yeah not bad at all with surf shark here kind of
a happy medium between the express and nord and if you're wondering all these vpns fully support
peer-to-peer activity so no worries at all and in terms of features you have your usual uh
kill switch and split tunneling features it's called network lock in expressvpn and the kill
switch will make sure that you're only connected to the internet when you're secured by the vpn
so this will stop your internet traffic if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly as it says here
and all you need to use is just turn on and then turn on the vpn and that's pretty much how you use
it and if the vpn happens to disconnect you'll also get disconnected from the internet so the
telling will allow to choose which applications are routed to the vpn and which are not which can
be very useful let's say you want to use your vpn but only for your torrenting client and you don't
want your other connection your entire connection to be affected by the vpn you can do that or vice
versa where you can have selected applications while bypass the vpn tunnel so let's say
you know i want to play with my friends on steam i could just go to steam right here and look for
the executable and add it right here and now when i turn on my vpn i know that my steam will not be
affected by the vpn which is a wonderful wonderful feature here split tunneling is just great and it
works really well with expressvpn because it's just super easy to use it does work really good
with expressvp with a surf shark as well but i do find that sometimes it can get a little bit
buggy so let's say i want something to bypass the vpn i can select the application right here
add the application and it works very well with expressvpn i love it it's super easy to use okay
so that's pretty much it for features with expressvpn you'll also be able to secure up
to five devices per subscription all right with nordvpn uh of course you'll be able to secure up
to six devices per subscription but you do get more features such as specialty servers you get
an ad blocker right here you get the conventional kill switch as well as an app kill switch which
will close selected apps when you need to connect from vpp and already connection drops unexpectedly
rather than disconnecting your entire connection as it is with the conventional kill switch you
also have split tunneling just like express vpn and custom dns which is an easy way to change
your dns as well as obfuscated servers if you're in a sensorship-heavy country and finally with
surftrac you'll be able to secure an unlimited number of devices with just a single subscription
and you're getting a great budget deal here just getting the job done at the cheapest possible cost
uh without really sacrificing much on security performance or features
for that matter you're still getting these two specialty servers right here as well as
the vpn the basic vpn features as well as an ad blocker the kill switch the bypasser which is
pretty much split tunneling it's just called bypasser with the option of course to also
choose specific ip addresses or websites to bypass your vpn tunnel which is pretty cool
it's just a neat little addition and rotating ip no borders mode if you're in a sensorship heavy
country especially rotating ip will make you very hard to track since it will keep rotating
your ip while the vpn connection stays the same and that's pretty much it for uh these
vpn so again if you're looking for the best of the best go with expressvpn if you're looking
for something with a whole lot more features a lot of servers and a just a great value deal overall
go with nordvpn especially if you prioritize speed over everything and if you're looking for the
best budget deal you can just go with surf shark you're getting a lot of value still and you won't
be sacrificing that much on speed or features or anything for that matter really it's a little bit
of sacrifice especially for the price that you're paying so that'll be it for this video again all
