hey guys welcome back in this video I'll be doing a test and review of Nord VPN
which is regarded by many industry experts as the best VPN out there I'll
also go over some basics on what is a VPN why you might want to use one and
how VPNs affect the streaming community so if you are in the market for a new
VPN or you're just interested in what VPNs are all about I think you'll find
this video helpful so with that being said let's get started okay so let's
start right at the top what is a VPN so VPN stands for virtual private network
and it's a method of connecting to the internet or to a network in a secure
manner where your traffic is encrypted so let's put that into real life when I
want to access the Internet I make a connection to my ISP who then assign me
an IP address from pool of IP addresses that they own I then use the IP address
and then say let's say for example access Netflix I can do that if want to
use Kodi or streaming sites I can do all of that with the IP address assigned for
my ISP but what that means is they know what I'm looking at so they have logs so
they know at this particular time techdoctor was allocated this IP and this IP
was looking at this content or browsing these sites or looking at this stuff now
people are really concerned about their privacy rsps have been known to sell
browsing preferences to sell browsing data basically selling custom
information on top of the ISPs have been known to throttle user connections
self-deceit coming in accessing streaming sites or p2p torrents that
have been known to throttle that bandwidth what that means is you end up
having a slower connection so this is where a VPN comes in so the way the VPN
works is so once again you make a connection to your ISP which will give
you an IP address we then use the IP address to make a connection to a VPN
server and from that VPN server you'll be given a completely different IP
address and any connection you make from that VPN server onto Netflix or
streaming sites or using Kodi all of that traffic will be totally encrypted
and your ISP won't be able to see what you're using and if they can't see what
you're doing they can't sell your browsing data and the definitely can't
talk to your bandwidth which means you end up having a faster connection so if
somebody asks me right now hey tech doctor why should I be using a VPN also
probably the four main reads for using a VPN our number one to stay
anonymous so this means your ISPs can't see what you're doing they can't monitor
your data and they can't sell your information so this allows you to keep
that anonymity online number to access geo restricted content so if you are in
America for example but you want to watch BBC iPlayer that requires you to
have a uk-based IP address so you can use a VPN server based in the UK and
access that content so number three accessing torrents so in certain
countries this is not allowed your ice P may ban you or you may get letters of
warning so again using a VPN because that data is encrypted they're not gonna
be able to see what you're doing and it would like to access us torrents without
any problems and lastly popular Wi-Fi so if you're
accessing the internet from a coffee shop like Starbucks or from an airport
or wherever you can get free public Wi-Fi I personally do not want to be
doing any banking or accessing important information over public Wi-Fi so again
using a VPN it means that my data is encrypted nobody can see air and that
way my identity my data everything is kept private let's look at some of the
key features that Nord VPN provides so they use military-grade encryption so
you know your traffic is being encrypted by the best standards out there this
Arbortech is quite interesting so once you enable is your connection will be
automatically protected and shielded from intrusive advertisements malicious
popups and other malicious online threats now double VPN is another really
interesting features so what this means is instead of your connection going to a
VPN server first and now a VPN server taking to a website or Netflix or
something else that VPN server will actually connect you to another VPN
server so you end up having two VPN servers before you get to your desired
content giving you that extra layer of protection so since it protects your IP
address that is a very basic feature so pretty much all VPNs as soon as you make
the connection from your public IP address should change and you should now
be using an IP address from the VPN server you're connected to they also
have a strict no locks policy which is pretty standard across the main VPN
providers like private access ipvanish expressvpn
the only difference with the nord VPN is because the company is based away from
EU and jurisdiction it means that those governments cannot force this company to
give up your customer data so if your current VPN provider is based in one of
those two regions in theory those governments can force
your VPN provider to give up your private data and also start tracking you
without letting you know so if that is of concern for you then you definitely
need to use a VPN provider outside those two regions and Nord VPN definitely
checks that box because it's based out of Panama this VPN also supports
automatic kill switch so as we know we can assign this to applications if
anything happens to your VPN the VPN will kill those applications so those
applications will not be allowed to run unless the VPN is running the browser
proxy extension is also quite interesting so what it means is without
me actually using the top software actually inside Chrome or Firefox I can
initiate VPN connection and make sure whichever website I'm looking at is
going through a VPN so another great feature I think so in terms of servers
we're talking about 2069 server spread across 61 countries so I think that's a
huge amount so what that means in reality when you're trying to find a
server there's gonna be plenty of service for you to choose from and on
top of that if low people are using a service it's not gonna affect your
performance just because there's so many service to choose but they can be doing
a speed is at the end of this just so you can see when using a VPN how much of
your speed ease would use because at the end of the day it's never gonna be as
fast as connecting directly going through a VPN you are gonna lose some of
your bandwidth but lets us see exactly how much that's affected okay so let's
install the software now show you the interface and let's do a speed test okay
so let me take you to the install so I've downloaded the Installer from the
website I can change the default path view if I want to but this part is fine
for me I can just click on install okay click on run here so known VPN is
actually famous for being extremely easy to install and I think as you can see
with the installer it literally is two clicks and it's ready to use so this is
the main interface of node VPN as you can see has a really nice clean layout I
really like the way they've done this so you pretty much have a world map and you
can just choose whichever location you want to choose a server from solicit for
example I want to connect to a server based in South America like Brazil I can
come down here I can click on that and then see at the top this is connecting
to Brazil then you get a message you are now connected to Brazil so now my
traffic has been routed from the UK into Brazil and then from
zero is being encrypted and I can access anything I want and whatever service our
access they'll think I'm actually coming from Brazil that's really the beauty of
a VPN and we can see the topic we've been assigned a new IP address which is
based in this country let me just take you through some of the settings so if
you click on settings on top left say for example you have the cyber SEC
option I mentioned before so if you do want your VPN connection to protect you
from from malicious popups from you know adverts sites and everything else you
can enable this which is good you good option to auto connect so as soon as
your computer turns on you can get it to establish your VPN connections if you
want that extra layer of security basically you do not want to use your
computer without a VPN this is the option to turn on ok so then this is the
kill switch I mentioned so if we go into this for example we can say about google
chrome's if i add google chrome to the kill switch it means i can only use the
application if the VPN is running they also have an Advanced Settings section
so if you do know what you're doing you can choose things like I don't connect
with TCP I want to use UDP or vice-versa you can choose a custom DNS so really
for that Rick user you don't need to look at this but if you are interested
if you if you have that level of experience you can also change some of
the settings here so back in them if you don't use the map to connect you also
have the country section so here we can see so using this layout this is another
way you can get to whichever VPN server you want to choose so let's say for
example we want to choose a server in New Zealand we can go to that we can
click on this and this will basically choose one for you but if you want to
choose yourself you can press the hamburger menu here so we can see in it
there's quite a few servers to choose and also down here we can see server
number seven is overloaded which is what this is currently a 100% so you
definitely want to be choosing that server we can go up and choose this one
which is only at 25 percent utilization so just having this extra level of
visibility and extra information I think it makes this VPN a cut above the rest
so I think it's a really handy feature that has you also have some of the
speciality service as mentioned before they support double VPN dedicated IP
servers some extra service or PT P so if you are looking to connect to some of
those servers you'll find them in here so say for example were looking for my
double VPN server and go there click on this and this will show you all the
servers are currently support the double VPN connectivity so you can't do one VPN
server first and now automatically connect another VPN server before you
actually start you just to give you the extra double layer
of protection I guess on to the speed test so on the left-hand side we're
using no VPN on the right-hand side I've connected to node VPN now for the speed
test server I'm using the exact same one just to make it a more of an accurate
test okay so without the VPN we can see my ping time is 8 millisecond and I'm
pushing around about 74 megabits of data now with the VPN can you believe it I'm
only losing a couple of Meg so I'm getting all of that security all of that
protection per hardly losing any speed whatsoever
there has to be one of the best features of Nord VPN I mean that speed is really
impressive and we can see for the upgrade we lost just about a Meg so
again guys really really impressive I think it's safe to say now with Nord VPN
you're not gonna have any issues with your speed so how much does this all
cost so as we can see on the screen guys they do currently offer three plans you
can sign up for a month or for a year but hit the maximum 72 percent discount
if you sign up for two years that only works out as three dollars twenty nine a
month so really at that price point I don't think you can argue so in some
regards it's a fantastic VPN I'm really impressed with the features so some of
the highlights said that what the no logs policy they go global network of
more than 2000 servers across the world so wherever you are you're gonna find a
self that you can connect to they do support PTP with unlimited bandwidth
they claimed how blazing speed which I've demonstrated you know that that's
not an overstatement that's not a marketing term it really is one of the
fastest VPNs I've ever tested you can have up to six simultaneous connections
so if you do have a couple of five sticks a fire TV and an Android box
animal bar phone all those can be protected at the same time with just one
account but really you can have all these amazing features but I think all
of them are overshadowed by this thing up here so they give you a 30 day no
quibble moneyback guarantee that means you can try the VPN out give it a go and
if for whatever reason if you're not happy with their you can contact the
customer support which is available 24 hours a day so contact us up or ask for
your money back and you can get a full refund no issues
so to give you that kind of guarantee I think it just shows you how much
confident they are with the software overall guys this definitely gets a
double thumbs up from me that's all for this one guys many thanks for staying to
