With the channel focusing on topics such as censorship, localization and other differences
between different countries and cultures around the world, today it was felt as a good time
to finally take a look at VPNs - and what they are, their many uses and why exactly
they are so important to what we at Censored Gaming cover.
Firstly though, I just want to thank NordVPN for sponsoring today's episode - who have
been rated by numerous publications as the best VPN service available today and the only
one to obtain a perfect score from the website PCMag.
There are just so many reasons why you may want to give NordVPN a try, which we'll be
going more into that in just a second, and unlike most other VPNs, there's even a free
version available for you try before you buy. Then if you do decide to keep on using it,
you can get a whooping 77% off a 3 year plan by going to NordVPN.com/censoredgaming...
c e n s o r e d g a m i n g. There will also be a link in the description
if you to want to go check it out but, for people who aren't quite sure what a VPN is,
let's go into that now and break it down. A VPN, otherwise known as a Virtual Private
Network, funnels all of your internet traffic though a separate private internet network,
as if you were actually inside their network rather than your own.
So, when using a VPN, a website or application won't see your own internet details but the
VPN's - including things like IP address. This is extremely useful for numerous reasons
and for the first of these, let's bring up the NordVPN interface to take a look.
This is what you see when you boot up NordVPN and, as you can see, it's all kept very user
friendly with its simple interface showing a map of the world.
From here you can click on any of the over 61 countries and in a matter of seconds you
will then be connected to that network - it's that simple.
You can then check things like your IP address and you'll notice that the other device will
now think you're from that country, rather than your own.
You may have come across various websites that won't be available in your country for
example, and with a VPN this will no longer be an issue.
It's not just blocked content though, some platforms will offer pretty different content
and services depending on your location and, through the use of a VPN, you can tailor this
to your own needs. There are literally endless uses of VPNs and
far too many to really do them justice in a single video, but to just list some that
are more personal to me, to help you get an idea of their usefulness and potential...
One big one that you may be able to relate with is games from other regions that aren't
available in your own country, for instance, like certain titles on the Japanese Google
Play store. One example of many is the RPG Granblue Fantasy,
a game notable for reuniting music composer Nobuo Uematsu and art director Hideo Minaba,
who have previously collaborated on games like Final Fantasy V, VI and IX.
If you search for Granblue Fantasy outside of Japan, the game won't appear. But, in just
a few clicks with a VPN, you can instead connect to the Japanese store where you will be able
to see the game, multiple music albums and more.
Something else that I've been using VPNs a lot for lately is to do with the new European
General Data Protection Regulation, which you guys probably noticed started to flood
your email inbox a little while ago as it started to take effect.
The GDPR requires that websites follow certain rules in how it handles users' data. The deadline
for this was May 25th but many sites still haven't updated their polices for European
users, meaning that trying to access them from a European IP will result in being greeted
with blocks like this one. Again, getting around issues like this is
only a matter of clicking a single button though - thanks to NordVPN.
The Football World Cup has also been going on over the past few weeks, which makes for
another topical, good use for a VPN. Some fans may prefer to watch the game in their
own language for example, and with the commentators that they recognise.
Many streaming services though will require you to be located in your own country, which
is no good if you're abroad. Again, a VPN can help you bypass these restrictions
and allow you to watch exactly what you want to watch.
It's not just blocks based on your location that a VPN is good for however. VPNs will
also bypass restrictions set by things like offices and parental controls.
Remember, as your connection is being funnelled through the VPN's and as the original connection
won't actually be accessing the blocked sites, the internet will be unlocked for you to use
however you please. One example that's personal to me is my UK
mobile phone network, Vodafone, which has a pretty strict parental control in effect
unless you visit one of their stores or go online and send in details to prove you're
old enough. Just clicking on any location on the VPN will
be enough to circumvent blocks such as these, even if you select just your own country's
location. NordVPN is also available for mobile and is
just as simple and easy to use as desktop. Your account also comes with up to 6 simultaneous
connections at once. This means that you should be able to connect all of your devices at
the same time with no issues. Linking on with the last point about restrictions
set by things like offices and parental controls, is another UK point, but one that can also
be applied to other situations in other countries around the world too.
By the end of 2018 a huge government system will take effect that will force all adult
sites to be blocked in the UK unless you prove your old enough. This could mean things like
going to a shop, handing over ID and collecting a 16-digit code to use on adult sites for
access. Naturally some people may not want to go through
this arduous process or may not want their data collected for these purposes. A VPN,
however, would make all of this no longer an issue and it would be just as simple as
all of the examples already mentioned. There are just so many uses for VPNs though.
For example, so many websites and services are tailored to your location... and, for
perhaps one of the most simple and straight forward examples for you to see what I mean,
take a look at the UK's Google page for today. There is nothing out of the ordinary right?
It's just the original default page. However, switching to other regions like the US and
you'll see that they are celebrating the birth of Kurt Masur with Google's Google Doodle,
which when clicked on, brings up more information on who he was and the things that he did.
Whilst that may be seen as a pretty mild example, so much nowadays is tailored to your location
that it's hard to really do it justice. The YouTube trending tab for instance is also
vastly different depending on what country you're in - and so if you were ever curious
about what's trending in Japan for example, a VPN makes this very possible.
Just know that whenever you come across any sort of block or change on the web, a VPN
should be able to help It also goes without saying but a VPN is great
for travellers, who find themselves in other countries a lot and are either unable to access
sites or are getting different local versions. Then of course we have countries with strict
government censorship. For instance, a really extreme example would be places like China
and its "great firewall", which blocks sites on a regular basis, depending on whether they
fit the nation's leaders' wishes or not. Well NordVPN even defeats the great firewall
of China, making it very useful for escaping government censorship.
It's not just China though of course, and if you're from one of these regions, you are
probably already aware of some of the ways the government may restrict your internet
access from you. And despite so far focusing on ways to bypass
restrictions, a VPN is good for many other uses too.
One big one is general privacy concerns and not wanting your data to be collected by the
sites and platforms that you visit. With the way your traffic is funnelled through
the VPN's, a VPN is very useful for staying anonymous on the web.
Furthermore, NordVPN uses military grade encryption, which means your info is always kept as secure
as possible. NordVPN also has a strict no data logging policy, which is something that
surprisingly some other companies do not. All of this is not just useful for privacy
concerns but also things like protection against being hacked.
You may recall, for example, how the YouTuber Boogie2988 had his YouTube account deleted
by hackers following using public Wi-Fi in a hotel.
Public Wi-Fi poses huge risks for users, but with Nord's military grade encryption, your
data and all of your passwords and bank details and things are kept 100% safe and secure.
Again, I'd just like to thank the folks at NordVPN for sponsoring today's video and hopefully
you have now learnt a few of the many uses for a good VPN service.
To just remind you again, NordVPN is offering Censored Gaming's viewers 77% off a 3 year
plan by going to NordVPN.com/ censoredgaming... c e n s o r e d g a m i n g or by clicking
on the link in the description. This sees the cost reduced from $11.95 a month
to only $2.75. With this unbeatable deal, just that can give you all of these features
and more. And they even offer a 30 day money back guarantee,
so please check it out if you're interested and know that you'll also be supporting the
channel by doing so. Despite being sponsored, NordVPN is actually
what I personally use too and so can really recommend their service. It's also really
quick with the speed being virtually no different from not using a VPN at all and, again, it's
the only VPN to obtain a perfect score from PCMag, so please make sure to keep that in
mind. For the final question for today, I'm going
to ask you guys whether you know of any other good uses for VPNs? This video only had time
to go into a few but, like mentioned, there are actually many many more.
So please let us know your thoughts in the comments below, as well as anything else you
have to add about the overall VPN discussion. And, until next time, thank you for watching.
