And it relies solely on Tor so VERY anonymous... Good summary. 01:09:17 Harvey Hope: Does a VPN mask your IP??? 01:10:21 Jeff (JEFFRO) Dubois: A VPN represents you as a different IP address. It doesn't hide you but rather disguises you as something else. 01:11:52 Jeff (JEFFRO) Dubois: I use VPNs regularly to circumvent geo-blocking. Works great for streaming video and music. 01:12:59 Bob Herres: Incognito Mode on Youtube is great for watching YouTube with a 3 year old...
