  • Which of these free tools interests you the most? Is there anything you think I'm missing? Leave a comment below to let me know. 😎
  • Problem with all these end-to-end encryption options like ProtonMail and Signal are getting your friends/family to use them as well.
  • @robtihanyi1155
    Concise, professional and easy to understand... love what you bring to the table Josh... good job.
  • @Jon6589
    The Klutch Card virtual cards are an amazing feature!
  • Hey Josh, great recommendations! I’m wondering how the Klutch card works. When you create virtual cards to pay some bills, do you get the money from your personal bank like the privacy virtual cards? If so, What’s the purpose of the Klutch credit card?
  • @pyna211
    For password management there is also QtPass, it is multiplatform and GUI version of pass.
  • Virtual Credit Card for international user is most helpful for me. Thank You!
  • Hi Josh, Love your videos, very informative and very helpful. I was wondering if you've already done a video on the best overall protection suite of apps? I use NordVPN and NordPass, which also has NordLocker -- but I already had and still use Sync for secure file storage. I use BitDefender for antivirus, which also has a VPN and a password manager. Both have browser plug-ins for to prevent website tracking. I'm trying to reduce my subscriptions in the New Year to cut costs in this crazy economy and it makes sense that I go all in with either Nord, Bitdefender, or perhaps some other company -- but which one? Have you done a video on the best all encompassing suite of privacy and security products? If not, I'm probably not alone here in looking for advice as to the best package for overall security. Thanks Jordan

    Michael Bazzell of Inteltechniques, The Privacy and Security Podcast, and the free online magazine: Unredacted has mentioned some of the sites or services that you talked about. It would be nice to see you have an interview with him, but I don't know if he does anything by video, it might be just audio. He has a lot of good resources and links on his page, even some free PDF workbooks that you can download. I think that I first discovered him, when I was listening to the Reply All podcast, and they were interviewing him and getting his help in trying to solve a problem ( I can't remember what it was ). Worth checking out in my opinion. Thanks for listing a couple of websites that I didn't know about. I'm going to share this with family and friends in the hopes of getting them to at least use Signal and ProtonMail.

    Josh, awesome video, you are well spoken and assertive. It made you immediately stand out among the videos I have watched this morning. I usually don't subscribe to a channel after the first two videos I watched. I actually ran into your channel while searching for "the best antivirus software for windows 11 in 2022" and came across " Don't Use a VPN...it's not the ultimate security fix you've been told." You can probably guess I was pretty far down the list by the time I ran into your video, yet it was the first one from your channel that came up. I don't know if you have recently tested many antivirus software providers but regardless of weather you have, would you please tell me your most revered antivirus software providers? I did not see a recent video on this subject on your channel and most the videos I saw highlighted features, user interface ease, and price point. Only one video actually compared how well they performed besides looking at AV's graph or something similar. I would really appreciate it! Thanks in advance.
  • I would love to see a full review of klutch card. I have been trying to watch some reviews of it and have not found any reliable reviews who primarily focus on privacy
  • @Lib3ration
    For the password managers have you ever used Keepass?
  • @ph5832
    Been using Privacy for about 2 years ... not sure what you mean by 'more enterprise focus'? ... Please explain ... Thank you for the international virtual card provider ... good to know
  • @erik-sunset
    I've used Privacy for years. Other than the recent switch to having their virtual cards switch to credit cards as opposed to prepaid cards I haven't noticed any changes. What changes are you referring to that prompted you to find Klutch? I would be very interested in a video breaking down the pros and cons of Privacy and Klutch and how they compare to each other.

    You're forgetting one of the biggest holes in security today, Ads! Malvertising and bad actors make it dangerous to go anywhere online. but if you setup a Pihole DNS server at home and point your router to that DNS the game changes in your favor. most ads just disappear and you can now take control and feel better about surfing. this also prevents smart devices like TV's and Amazon Echo's from phoning home constantly. My Roku TV was calling home once a minute and it can no longer do that. DNS is the next huge secuirty method of the future. But it is a very technical thing and not for everyone.
  • @Fr8Hauler1
    Great channel. I am curious about the payment solutions. I realize that they get paid through the fees, but I don't know of anyone that does net for free? So they aren't tracking? Thank you for what you do
  • @kinkychad69
    Can you make video of this two factor or password manager what can you do to reset if you lose the passwords and how do you get the account back?
