Did you know there might be trackers in your clothing? RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags can be found everywhere. Their main use is to track inventory and prevent shoplifting, but there are lots of conspiracy theories about RFID and its ability to track people.

In this video we’ll explain how RFID works, why people are concerned about it, and the limitations of the tech that make it far less scary than you might think.

02:28 How RFID Works
05:59 Should you be scared?

We do live in the big data world, so it's important to be aware of tracking threats and data collection around us. It's also important to know your own threat model and where each technology sits on the threat spectrum for your life, so that you can know how to best direct your energy.

We probably all use cloud storage -- it’s a convenient, cost-effective way to store files and share them with others. But when you use the most popular cloud storage providers, you’re handing off your photos, videos, documents, and all kinds of other files to someone else, so that they can look after them for you. What are the privacy implications of this?

We compare some popular cloud storage providers, to see which ones are the most private.

00:00 Intro
01:00 Privacy Concerns
09:22 Dropbox
13:00 Microsoft One Drive
14:32 Skiff
16:25 iCloud

Your home internet has a privacy problem! DNS, or Domain Name System, is the lookup system responsible for converting human-readable domain names like google.com into IP addresses, which is the format that computers need to communicate with each other. But in this process, a LOT of data is leaked about your internet activities, and collected by all kinds of entities like ISPs and government organizations.

In this video, we’ll explain how DNS works, and how to set up your DNS to make your internet browsing far more private.

00:00 Intro
00:37 What is DNS?
01:09 How Does DNS Work?
07:02 Privacy Concerns
09:07 How to Protect DNS Queries

Using a password manager is actually one of the most IMPORTANT things you can do to safeguard your digital life. Password managers are software for generating and storing your passwords for you.

While keeping all passwords in a single vault may seem like a scary prospect for some people, we explain why computer security experts almost unanimously recommend using them.

We also dive into which password managers are best, and how to keep your password vault secure.

00:00 Intro
01:08 Creating better passwords
04:58 Securing your Password Manager
06:44 Choosing a Password Manager
08:55 LastPass
11:21 Bitwarden
12:47 Dashlane
14:48 1Password
16:19 KeepassXC
19:03 Saving passwords in browsers
21:13 Summary

The biggest risk to the average person is reusing passwords across websites, so a password manager is essential in order to both create strong passwords and to help you remember them. They can dramatically help you improve the security of your online accounts and make it easier to manage your login information.

Microsoft's 365 Office Suite was recently banned in Germany over privacy concerns. Should you be using a more private office suite instead?

Microsoft Office is one of the most used suites of programs worldwide. They have become so common that their programs have worked their way into our daily vocabulary, and they set the standards for document formats.

It turns out that they collect a lot of data from their users, both when used online via their collaborative tooling, and "offline" with their downloaded software. Microsoft is also very closed lipped about the details of their data collection.

We dive into a report that recently came out of Germany looking at the privacy of Microsoft. We also look at a privacy-focused office suite alternative, LibreOffice, and how it compares.

00:00 Intro
00:33 Overview
00:42 What is Microsoft’s Office Suite?
01:01 Sketch #1
01:37 Online vs Offline Products
03:08 Connected Experiences
03:50 Sketch #2

07:20 Telemetry and Diagnostic Events Explained
08:52 Types of Diagnostic Data Microsoft Collects
10:05 Aria
11:22 LibreOffice
13:48 Other recommendations
14:00 Conclusion

Remember, your privacy is largely in your hands, and you can choose not to use products and services that collect all your data. If you have alternative products that you like and think we should check out, let us know!

Is privacy dead? We certainly see and hear this sentiment echoed everywhere we go, along with claims that “online tracking is harmless”, and that “if you’ve got nothing to hide, you shouldn’t care”.

In this video, we chat with Vivaldi Technology CEO Jon von Tetzchner to debunk 4 myths about privacy.

00:00 Intro
00:51 Myth 1 - Privacy is Dead
04:45 Myth 2 - Online Tracking is Harmless
08:00 Myth 3 - It’s Not Personal Information
10:13 Myth 4 - Surveillance is Normal
12:35 What’s at Stake
13:07 Conclusion

Stop believing these people who tell us that we shouldn't bother protecting our privacy. The only way to preserve privacy in our lives is to value it and fight for it. We are empowered human beings, who can make better choices about the tech that we use, and we can opt for more privacy-preserving options.

Surveillance is not inevitable, let's stop normalizing it!

It turns out that an overwhelming number of VPNs are actively harvesting and selling your data, capturing passwords / credentials / movements from your web activities, and doing all sorts of awful things.

VPNs can be super useful: to help you watch the Netflix catalogue of another country, avoid government surveillance and censorship under oppressive regimes, hide your IP address from websites, stay safe on public wifi, and stop your ISP from spying on your internet activities.

But it REALLY depends on which VPN you’re using.

In this video we’re going to explore which VPN companies own which review sites, which VPN permissions demand far too much access to your machine, which code has appalling security, and the giant red flags in a lot of this code that scream data collection.

When you’re choosing a VPN or other tools for your privacy arsenal, it’s a good idea to do your own research and see what the security experts are saying. There’s some great information out there, but you do need to learn how to look for it.

Special Thanks to Jonathan Tomek for sharing his awesome research with us for this video!

Your router is the gateway between your devices and the internet at large. If it’s compromised, it’s like leaving the front door to your home network wide open, allowing malicious actors to enter. Unfortunately the routers most of us use are VERY insecure, with all kinds of known vulnerabilities.

In this video we go over how to give your hardware and software a major overhaul, including a step-by-step tutorial for how to use pfSense on a Protectli firewall vault.

00:00 Intro
01:07 What’s in a “Router”?
03:30 Security Dangers
06:06 Upgrading with Protectli
06:43 Protectli Components Explained
07:50 Installation Tutorial
09:39 Configuring pfSense Settings
13:45 Power Cycling Tip
14:12 How Protectli Fits into Your Network Setup
15:57 Add WiFi Capabilities
16:36 How to Enable AP Mode
18:34 Setup Diagram
20:07 Conclusion

With pfSense and the Protectli vault, you can tweak your settings to incredibly granular levels. That's what we'll cover in future videos: how to configuring firewalls to block malicious traffic coming in AND telemetry going out, and how to set up a whole network VPN.

Adding a security system to your home might not be a bad idea. But what kind of security system? And are there any that are truly secure and privacy-preserving?

We dive into a bunch of popular home security cameras, and how they they compare in terms of privacy.

00:00 Intro
00:54 Terms to Know
02:27 ADT
04:23 Ring
05:28 Nest
05:59 Eufy

15:46 Homebridge and OpenHAB
16:07 Trade-Offs

Spoiler alert, privacy doesn’t seem to be a focus of home security companies. It's also surprisingly difficult to find information about how private and secure each system is. But hopefully there are some solutions here that fit your threat model, and if not, we'll dive into a more complicated but private setup in an upcoming video!

Last week Paypal, announced (and later backtracked) that it would impose a morality tax on its users, fining them for misinformation.

The financial industry has a long history of trying to curtail speech:

In 2010, Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal infamously suspended payments to Wikileaks after the non profit began to expose war crimes and government corruption.

In 2021 Only Fans announced it would start banning sexually explicit content, which is the whole point of the platform, citing pressure from “banking partners and payout providers.”

There have been free speech organizations cut off from payment services,
independent media outlets blocked, privacy advocates banned.

Entire industries like medical marijuana have been targeted by and cut off from the financial system as part of Operation Chokepoint, which was a secretive initiative that intended to “choke off” businesses from financial services so that they couldn't survive.

Just this week Kanye West was told he and his business could no longer use Chase bank.

Unfortunately we live in a world where organizations that defend freedoms, challenge mainstream narratives, or hold governments accountable for corruption are cut off from the payment rails of society. Our money has been weaponized.

So how do we reclaim freedom of speech and choice?

Many of us are finally waking up to how important privacy is, and yet we don't think twice when we swipe our credit card.

Each time we opt to pay with plastic, our data is shared by our banks, the card network, the store, the point of sale system, the retailer's bank, our financial apps. And then all those entities share it with thousands more.

In this video we dive into financial privacy, and give you a glimpse of how much information gets shared about you through your financial choices.

We also look at why it's risky to use traditional financial tools when making donations to causes you care about, and dive into 2 groups that are innovating in the donation world.

When it comes to supporting causes that you believe in, crypto can be a powerful tool. It can make your contribution more private, make sure the money actually reaches its destination. and it's accessible to anyone in the world.

The internet is often controlled and censored in times of civil unrest. Governments can block certain services, like access to websites or apps, or they can even shut off the internet entirely.

That’s exactly what’s going on in Iran at the moment. The government has partially shut down the internet as a result of protests, and they have also blocked access to the secure and private messaging app, Signal.

There are ways we can help: Set up a proxy signal server that Iranians can connect to, allowing them to communicate privately and securely during a hostile situation.

Linux has countless different versions, known as distros, and knowing which one to use can be overwhelming for a beginner.
In our last video we covered the history and basics of linux, looking at different distros and their use cases. If you're just starting out, Ubuntu is a great way to get your feet wet. In this video we do an Ubuntu deep-dive, and teach you how to install it.

Taking control of your machine via a Linux distro is liberating, but also intimidating. Ubuntu aims to make it all a bit easier for you.

If you’re using Ubuntu, let us know how you like it -- or tell us which distro is your favorite! At the end of the day, you have to pick an OS that works for you!

If you’re going to have a camera recording every person coming and going from your house, monitoring you inside your home, or even recording audio of you whether you’re in frame or not, you’re going to want to know that this footage is private and secure.

In an upcoming video we’re going to dive into some other home camera alternatives, but SPOILER ALERT: privacy and security doesn’t seem to be at the forefront for most companies.
