how's it going everybody welcome back and today i'm going to show you guys
three of the best vpns to stay anonymous in the us so i've got these three here
they're the top three vpns overall not just for anonymity but also for just general security
features and streaming and torrenting capabilities and whatnot so i'll get to that in just a minute
but before we get 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 okay so all these vpns boast the standard 256 the as 256 bit encryption
uh and they're all fairly secure now you know most vpns do claim a no-locks policy and all
three are no exception however the difference between these vpns and other vpns that claim a
null logs policy is that they have proof to show it so we've got audits independent audits for
all of these vpns express nord and surf shark now to a certain degree i would say expressvpn is the
most audited one specifically because it had more than three audits so far that's one two in 2017
the turkish government seized an expressvpn server as part of an investigation and they
were still unable to extract anything out of the server thanks to their true no logs policy
now nordvpn and surf shark were not put in such a situation like a real life situation where you
know you're kind of put to the test like that but regardless they are still audited uh so nordvpn of
course has two audits one in 2018 and one in 2020 and they both had very good standing so
uh yeah a great stuff overall with the nord vpn and with surf shark i would say it's the uh
it had its data collection uh privacy policy audited but they only audited the surf shark
vpn extension so they didn't exactly audit the application itself so i mean yeah it seems like
they're still on the trend of just keeping up the independent audits though because this is their
most recent independent audit may 24th of 2021 and they ran in infrastructure a server infrastructure
uh independent audit and obviously it also resulted in very good standing with very minor
issues that they must have fixed by now so with regards to evidence that all these vpns do uphold
their no logs policy uh you know there's enough evidence uh for all three vpns granted expressvpn
has the most amount of evidence followed by nord and surf shark so no need to worry when it comes
to these three vpns upholding the integrity of their privacy policy as well as protecting and
honoring their users anonymity and this is great because you know not many vpns are willing to put
their server infrastructure or privacy or data collection policies uh under such uh third-party
scrutiny they're definitely very confident in their privacy policy otherwise they wouldn't
conduct such uh independent audits now with regards to security you know all these vpns do
have the basic security features such as the kill switch and split tunneling the kill switch will
stop your internet traffic if the vpn disconnects unexpectedly this will make sure that you're only
connected to the internet when you're secured by the vpn and connected to the vpn and split
tiling will allow to choose which applications are routed through the vpn and which are not
so this can be very handy you've got a handful of protocols and all these vpns as well i just stick
with the best performing protocols so that'll be the lightweight udp protocol in expressvpn
nord links in nordvpn and wireguard in surf shark um besides that expressvpn is honestly pretty bare
bones there's nothing in the advanced here that you need to mess with besides perhaps opting out
of the crash reports if you don't want to share those and that's pretty much it it's a very simple
vpn to use it's made for being as easy to use as possible and it's definitely the most consistent
when it comes to unblocking streaming services expressvpn has over 3000 servers in 94 countries
which is a lot of countries and it'll allow to secure up to five devices per subscription
now nordvpn has over 5100 servers in 60 countries so that's 34 less countries
than expressvpn but as you can tell it's still quite a bit you know covering most of the globe
overall but it's just that expressvpn has a much bigger uh collection of countries so you've got
specialty servers here uh dedicated ip which will give you the same ip double vpn connection through
two servers rather than one for extra security on your vpn will give you access to the uh dark
web without having to use the tor browser and peer-to-peer is for peer-to-peer activities though
i never really found any particular advantage over using the regular servers when it comes to
torrenting you also have the ab locker the nord lynx protocol just keep in mind that when you
use the norton links protocol on windows you lose access to a double vpn and dedicated ip but node
links is definitely the best protocol so you want to stick with that you have the conventional kill
switch as it is with the expressvpn right here and an app kill switch if you don't want to disconnect
your entire connection and instead you just want to close selected apps when you disconnect from
the vpn or when it disconnects unexpectedly you've got split tunneling and custom dns is an easy
way to change your dns and obfuscated servers if you're in a censorship heavy country besides that
you'll be able to secure up to six devices per subscription now finally surf shark is definitely
going to be the best budget-friendly vpn with over 3200 servers in 65 countries and it'll
also let you secure virtually an unlimited number of devices with just one subscription so you can
share with as many friends and family as you would like which is very convenient and you know being
that cheap or that budget friendly does not mean that you'll be sacrificing much on speed
performance or features for that matter because you're still getting multi-hop and static ip which
are the same as double vpn and uh static and dedicated ip excuse me from a nord vpn and you
still got uh you know whitelister which is split tunneling it's just called whitelister in surf
shark uh the kill switch the ad blocker right here as well as a handful of protocols including the
shadow socks protocol which will help you reach banned websites if you're having trouble reaching
them in censorship heavy countries but it'll only secure your browser traffic so keep that in mind
and no borders mode will also help you reach or excuse me bypass censorship firewalls such as the
great firewall of china uh that's pretty much it for these uh vpns so you know they're great vpns
overall especially if you're trying to unblock us streaming services they'll keep one thing in mind
nordvpn as of now is just a temporary thing really they're still working on it after the netflix
crackdown on vpn traffic north vpn is just having trouble unblocking the us netflix library so if
you want to unblock the us netflix library stick with expressvpn and surfshark though nordvpn is
still able to easily unblock us-based streaming services other streaming services such as
hulu hbo max disney plus amazon prime video it's just that the netflix us library is a bit of a
tough nut to crack you're still able to uh unblock other netflix libraries such as european and asian
netflix libraries uh well you know in terms of streaming by the way i would just recommend uh
overall i recommend expressvpn followed up by nordvpn and then surfshort but for the us
specifically just because of the netflix library i would recommend express surf and then nordvpn
if streaming is your priority but if security and anonymity is uh the priority here then just
go with expressvpn but if you're already in the states and you don't care about unblocking usb
streaming services and you just care about top security and anonymity then i would recommend
expressvpn followed by nordvpn and then surfshark and keep in mind that all these vpns are covered
