how's it going everybody welcome back and why would you use a vpn what are some of the best
reasons to use a vpn now of course if you're new to vpns you might have a question like that
and i'm going to try to answer it and i'm going to try to make this video as short as possible
uh so of course if you're interested if any point you're interested in getting to
know any of these vpns you'll find full reviews in the description down below
uh in terms it'll give you more of an in-depth look in terms of privacy policy speed streaming
and torquing capabilities as well as security and features so be sure to check those out
in the description below as well as links to updated pricing and special discounts so feel
free to take advantage of those as well so now i have this article right here which highlights
some of the best reasons to uh hereby expressvpn it's a great article so uh we have you know about
six reasons to use here i'm gonna add one more to them and then we'll start with that so let's say
if you're an activist if you're a journalist if you're a whistleblower anything like that
you should be using a vpn especially if you're a whistleblower in one of those
censorship-heavy countries or you know those with very just harsh rules with with online
activity and stuff maybe like china turkey the uae you know if you're trying to publish some
kind of article that the government might not like and or perhaps it might get you in
trouble in one way or another or get you fined or something like that you should use a vpn and
you should not compromise on security or try to save money with by getting a cheaper vpn just go
straight to expressvpn which is the best in terms of security you know there was a there was a case
in turkey in 2017 where the russian ambassador was assassinated and uh allegedly it seems like
the assassin the assassin used expressvpn to exchange emails over gmail and such and
when the turkish government actually force forcefully seized one of the servers of
expressvpn they were just simply not able to extract any information be it because everything
was very much encrypted or um there were no logs possible there were no logs to be extracted
that were there and that's probably the case because when it comes to uh criminal
activity whatever the vpn is whatever the policy or no logs policy is whatever their privacy policy
uh is they're going to cooperate to catch criminals
but in this case there were no logs in the first place and so expressvpn were not able to help so
yeah and in terms of encryption and security system they have some of the most sophisticated
ones out there so uh yeah if if you're in one of those countries if you're a whistleblower
journalist activist uh just use expressvpn do not try to compromise uh on security in order
to save uh just you know a few bucks a year so yeah just uh that would be my recommendation so
less intense reasons to use a vpn would be of course while traveling and while on public wi-fi
these are you know kind of interconnected because if you're traveling you're going to be on public
wi-fi and uh definitely another reason would be to never ever ever use uh any sort of application
or perhaps banking or financial applications over on public wi-fi you will be compromising your data
100 you'll be compromising them so uh definitely do not use it and i speak from personal experience
but luckily all i did was use my facebook over on public wi-fi let's just say that i had some
explaining to do after i got my username and password compromised they were definitely
able to do some damage within a few hours of me just not knowing that they were compromised so
definitely uh always use a vpn if you're on public wi-fi and of course if you're traveling you know
maybe you're going to a country where let's say you're trying to watch an american netflix uh
show and uh you're going to a non-american country and you know you're going to have to
just use a vpn in order to get access to a netflix library or perhaps you're
maybe you're going to china and you know facebook instagram whatsapp and a whole bunch just a whole
slew of applications are banned there you're going to need a vpn to get access to these communication
soft applications rather while streaming well i just mentioned that if you're trying to
not necessarily for traveling but if you just want to cast i don't know if you want to catch
perhaps game of thrones over on hbo hbo is only available in the states so what you can do is just
use a vpn uh to uh get access to hbo and for reference you know just for reference if you're uh
interested in in terms of streaming capabilities expressvpn is able to unblock up to 18 netflix
libraries and over uh nord up to 10 libraries and surf shark up to 15 so just for reference of
course expressvpn will be your most consistent kind of unblocker of geo-restricted content
but nordvpn and surfshark are definitely very capable contenders here so keep that
in mind if you're not willing to let's say uh invest in something that could be uh considered
i guess is as much quite a bit more expensive uh especially when it comes to uh nord vpn and
surf shark offering huge deals on their two-year deals here the two-year plans whereas expressvpn
only has a one-year plan and they never really do that two-year plan thing so more reasons would be
of course while gaming so let's say you're trying to play with players from different regions that's
one uh reason to do that if you keep experiencing ddos attacks while playing i don't know warzone
or pubg or whatever game you're trying to play that's also a reason that a good reason to have
a vpn while gaming of course you know using a vpn will make your ping well we'll raise your
ping a little bit and that's definitely not good so uh using one of these vpns and making sure that
a tip would be for example if you're trying to uh play with players from the uk
make sure that the game servers let's say you're trying to play rainbow six siege
i believe they do have servers in the uk so you want to connect to a server a vpn server that
is as close as possible to the game server so that's one tip i would i could give to
kind of minimize any latency increases or anything like that so yeah it's not that bad really because
if you do this and even if you don't do this your ping increase won't really be
very significant and you'll still be able to play it's still playable you know
if you're trying to play rainbow six or warzone or whatever it is uh whatever game you're trying
to play as long as it's like not a reaction based game for example like fighting games
um in which case yeah you want to optimize uh your locations here with you know just
make sure that your vpn server that you're connecting to is as close as possible to the um
game server i'm sorry if you can hear church church bells and in the background it's sunday so
um so while file sharing of course that's another reason oh by the way while shopping also goes
with gaming so if you're trying to get discounts that's also a great reason to get a vpn you can
get really cool discounts from different countries if you're trying to buy a game more often than not
you'll be able to get some really cool discounts that are not available in your country and you can
get access to them by using a vpn also while file sharing if you're trying to file share in some of
those countries where perhaps there are heavy penalties for example in japan for torrenting
you could get jailed for up to a year or two years so yeah some countries do have very strict um the
rules when it comes to torrenting but for example in the netherlands i believe um as long you can
torrent all you want you can turn copyrighted material all you want as long as you're using it
as long as it's just for personal use of course the moment you start selling it you will get in
big trouble but if it's just for personal use then you're good to go but in the states i believe um
if you torrent without using a vpn you know your your isp will uh make a note they'll make a note
of that and they might just send you notice like hey you know we've noticed that you're downloading
some copyrighted material we'd appreciate it if you didn't do that of course when using a vpn
you'll be encrypting uh your data and everything you're doing online um and your isp won't really
be able to tell that you're using your torrenting or anything like that because you're essentially
not using your ip address you're using a different ip address and uh nobody will be able to link
your ip address to the any activity so that'll be it for this video uh i hope you guys
kind of have more of a more of an idea more basic idea i guess for uh different reasons of
using a vpn so that'll be for this video again if you guys are interested in a full in-depth
review of each of these vpns you'll find links to special you so you'll find links to reviews
down below as well as special deals if you'd like to take advantage of such discounts so
