And we're gonna also do a little demo of a VPN service that I'm using completely unsolicited completely.. no idea why I'm doing this...
It is not affiliate thing this is not a sponsorship.. is it just me having spent a lot of money in the last week trying out a lot of different VPNs and I'm going with the best one.
So, I tried a lot of research for you and that maybe it'll help you guys in the long run such why I decided to this website.
Live you wanted to know more about the VPN service I'm using so, let's go ahead and do it official.
The new Z170 classified motherboard from eVGA features 8 phase PWM 4-way SLI support along with top-notch components to offer game resident busiest more of what they want.
Badass motherboard with no compromises...
So, when I work in I.T. we had a physical VPN setup through Cisco, we had physical hardware what they built in VPN, firewall and proxy.
Solve net I haven't had to use a service like this in the last 10 years because I access a physical one that we control that wasn't something I subscribe to.
It all works the same way but as a subscriber to VPN service, you're connecting to a server that you paid for what I was used to connect to a server which you own control person that work there anymore I don't have access to that VPN.

Now, VPN has a few things they mask your IP, so your real IP, your isp provider IP, is not visible by the internet which makes it harder for things like they do's and hacking and or whatever else people would do with that IP.
Secondly, it tricks the internet into fool your geolocation which tells the internet you're connecting from a physical data center or ISP location.
If you can fool the internet into thinking you're anywhere in the world were VPN is accessible via your service.
The other thing is that it completely encrypt your data which makes it much harder to hack into your internet or your computer or your connection when the data is encrypted and multiple levels of encryption.
They might be thinking I'm not a streamer.. no one going to attack me.. why do I need a VPN?
Well, it also tricks the internet in the think you're connecting from somewhere else.
If you were in Germany you more than likely set me a message or been unable to connect to youtube to watch our tech talk live stream on Thursday because there's a reason Germany is very strict on allowing live stream access into the country.
So, you're connected to a VPN that was outside of Germany then you bypass that geolocation lock and you're able to watch live streams and videos and whatever else may be done.
Now, another reason that VPN is actually very very important is your isp will monitor the data that you are sending to and from the data center and will travel your connection and a lot of cases based on what you're connecting to.
Well, know that there is a big fiasco with AT&T, Verizon and Comcast and other companies that were slowing down connections to Netflix and Youtube or Amazon and Hulu companies that sell training services bit of a lot of data.
For the ISP's don't like that, so, they will monitor your traffic going to and from your router in a PC that you going to a high-bandwidth service like Netflix and they slow down your connection.
And, you're watching a live stream on Netflix and all of a sudden pops up and says "Netflix speed has changed reconfiguring your stream" and next thing you know you're watching a standard desk instead of a high desk stream.
More than likely your ISP has bothered you, but if you were on a VPN the ISP cannot monitor that traffic going to and from your router can be received one constant stream of the encrypted of data and cannot bother you.
See you can find at a VPN gives you better internet access in better streaming performance for the fact that the ISP has no freaking idea what you're doing.
Alright, let's go ahead and turn around I'm gonna give you a demonstration of how VPN works because one of the problems with VPN services if you never know how fast is gonna be.
Because when you encrypt in that data stream going back and forth to the server your speed is going to slow down because of the encryption happening on your end and then decryption happening on the other end and the re-encryption happening on the other end said that you've been decrypted again.
So, that slows down your connection a little bit and increases your ping...
...by how much?
well, let's go around and take a look.
