Do you agree? Do you use Starlink or another ISP to hide your location / would you recommend it?
A lot of people think that VPNs are the end all be all of online privacy, but they are so wrong 😂😂.
Doesnt IOS not let ylu run a vpn properly?
Criminal's best friend is a vpn.
No
That's not true. It's a matter of the location site. IPs don't have "locations". These sites guess where it's located based on data they bought. While countries are mostly correct, any further information is likely false.
I use two vpn one in tor browser and other normal vpn and even change the dns to private 🗿
Fiber connection without VPN is what exposes your location or with with VPN? If the answer is with a VPN then you have a dns leak. I tried every test online I could find to check if one of them could be a lit more accurate than the chosen VPN location, and all failed to show anything other than the position chosen in the VPN settings.
So whats the answer?
If your provider use CGNAT a fiber is still not gonna be pinpoint accurate, pretty close tho
No. Often times people are limiting the scope of testing to the web. I've reversed apps that do things like run a traceroute locally, check your SSID/BSID, any local cell towers, etc. and send the log to the app owner (e.g. TikTok does this). A VPN isn't going to help you here. There are a billion ways to fingerprint and find your location other than where you appear based on IPv4 supposed geo coords.
Best vpn for ios and android which can use with safe Post vid
For every question "it depends"
Bro in due to restrictions (censorship) we HAVE to use VPN to access the Internet
Tor?
We all know what VPNs are really for.
Nah, youll just get the location of switch your ISP is pushing your bandwith trough
That location lookup is the cheapest available, so it doesn't get accurate location from the ISP, who may or may not have your best interest in mind . This is why VPN ISPs brag about not keeping the kinds of logs that other ISPs must keep .
i use vpn to circumvent some website-blocking, and firewall, and also to avoid getting hacked on a public network
While successful connectivity to VPN client on phones, it changes/ hide its real public IP to VPN geolocation . So, it means our end devices connected to vpn virtual like overlay network. No split tunnels there to access intenal network but your traffic were still observable on VPN server end. I hope so.
Not exactly the same location , neither exact location, it dhows the city always
Vpn nodes could be positioned to get you
Can you make a video on , what is tor? & What everyone should know about it ? If not a long video atleast a short peeeezeeee👀
So if i am using a fiber connection, my location is visible?
Please can you do a video with the fiber connection
Can you make a video about private vs public ips?
My Wi-Fi manager was wiped out no idea how to get back
This is not a matter of connection type, but purely based on the ISP. My parents and me both have DSL, but with different ISPs. Their IP is geolocated in the nearest big city, while mine is geolocated halfway across the country, in the city where the ISP company is registered. In any way, you're never gonna get an accurate GPS location based on IP, city at most.
What vpn would you recommend though?????
How do I go about choosing a VPN provider?
Was gonna say how's he showing his location so freely. Then i realized he's David lol
What About A Proxy?
If a fiber Internet give your exact location and what's the point of using fiber if it's such a security risk to you
If you used a PC with starlink so it doesn't have a GPS, in certain places it can show you are in a different state. for me it shows I'm in Chicago when I'm at least 100 miles away.
Use tor tor is better than vpn
Why use satellite instead of DSL/Fiber
It depends 😅
True
Some home internet providers use CG-NAT (mine does) which assigns a single public IP to multiple connections and that automatically masks the location to about a 50km radius of where the connection is compared to where whatismyip or some other website would tell you.
Can you tell us a bit more about Apple’s Private Relay and whether it does function like a VPN or not really ?
i don't understand please make video in hindi version
Usualy internet procides offer wrong informations intentionaly too, for example, I live in Romania , in a city called Pitesti, however the internet provide show my computer (not the phone , computer) as being in Sibiu or Hunedoara or Cluj
The closest city to me ins Sibiu , wich is almost 3 hours long drive with a car
I prefer using a private proxy with vpn tunnel and fakeGPS running in the background. On top pf that use fakeID Masker to mask a random Mac address and main board serial number
Bouncing
Shucks bud I thought you were South African..
I knew, i noticed it that cellular doesnt give you your exact location
You don’t need to hide location
Hi sar
True ❤vpn can hide this
