https://youtu.be/yKyjbeObQXghttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Firewalls:2Your IoT devices are usually easy to hack, and they put the other devices on your network at risk. One way to help protect your more important devices is to keep them on a separate network, and create firewall rules that block your insecure devices from talking to any other network. Your firewalls are a crucial part of your privacy and security setup. You can think of them like a bouncer at a building, deciding who is allowed to enter and who is not. In this video we show you how to create a separate network for your insecure devices like IoT devices. We then show you how to create firewall rules to silo these devices on the separate network, so that they can't access any of your important devices on other networks. 00:00 Intro00:38 What is a Basic Firewall?02:13 What is a Next Gen Firewall? 03:38 Network Segmenting04:00 Video Overview04:45 Enabling OPT1 and OPT2 Interfaces05:39 Creating our OPT1 and OPT2 Networks08:02 DHCP09:38 DNS11:23 Firewalls13:14 Testing Our Networks13:42 Firewalls: Siloing Networks21:18 ConclusionYour home network is key to the privacy and security of your online activity, so it’s really worth taking the time to learn about how to make it more robust.This is the 2nd video in our series about home networks.

https://youtu.be/8MHBMdTBlokhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/vpn-scandals:5It 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.00:00 Private Private Super Secret Secure VPN!00:42 Intro02:33 What VPNs Do04:17 The Risk of Free VPN Services05:30 1clickVPN07:15 FreeVPN08:44 ZenMate10:03 AZA VPN and HULA VPN11:29 NordVPN and ExpressVPN14:01 Kape Technologies15:23 Ziff Davis and White Labeling16:42 Chinese Data Collection18:04 Affiliate Sponsorships18:57 Final Tips19:21 Support NBTV/OutroWhen 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.

https://youtu.be/QPCbri1EJ8Uhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/pfsense-protectli-tutorial:7Your router is the gateway between your devices and the internet at large.

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 Intro00:54 Terms to Know02:27 ADT04:23 Ring05:28 Nest05:59 Eufy09:18 Reolink10:30 Amcrest10:56 Others11:21 Synology13:52 Apple HomeKit14:45 Eufy (revisited)15:46 Homebridge and OpenHAB16:07 Trade-Offs18:06 OutroSpoiler 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.

https://youtu.be/CBrX377jgr8https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/paypal-kills-free-speech:6Last 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?00:00 PayPal02:08 History of Finance Controlling Speech04:00 Operation Choke Point04:48 Financial FreedomBrought to you by NBTV members: Lee Rennie, Will Sandoval, Sam Ettaro, and Naomi BrockwellTo support NBTV, visit https://www.nbtv.media/support(tax-deductible in the US)Sign up for the free CryptoBeat newsletter here:https://cryptobeat.substack.com/Beware of scammers, I will never give you a phone number or reach out to you with investment advice.
