| 0:00.0 | I'm not worried about the people who live with me looking at my internet history. |
| 0:04.0 | It's the people who don't live with me, the people who are outside the house, who might see my internet history that I don't want. |
| 0:11.0 | With the kind of research I do for strange familiars, something that some people might |
| 0:15.1 | consider fringe. |
| 0:16.1 | I really don't want outsiders knowing what I'm researching and I don't want to have whatever |
| 0:21.8 | algorithm from whoever snooping throw ads at me based on the |
| 0:26.2 | research I do, which is why I use Express VPN to keep my searching truly private. I know most of you listening to this are probably thinking, |
| 0:35.1 | why not just use incognito mode or private browsing? Let me tell you something. |
| 0:39.6 | Incognito mode does not hide your activity. It doesn't matter what mode you use or how many times you clear your browsing history. |
| 0:47.0 | Your internet service provider can still see every single website you've ever visited. That's why even when I'm home I never go online |
| 0:55.8 | without using Express VPN. It doesn't matter if you get your internet from |
| 0:59.7 | Verizon or AT&T or Comcast or wherever. |
| 1:03.5 | ISPs in the U.S. can legally sell your information to add companies. |
| 1:08.5 | Express VPN is an app that reroutes your internet connection through their secure servers so your |
| 1:13.7 | ISP can't see the sites you visit. Express VPN also keeps all of your |
| 1:18.4 | information secure by encrypting 100% of your data with the most powerful encryption available. |
| 1:24.7 | Most of the time, I don't even realize I have Express VPN on. |
| 1:28.4 | It runs seamlessly in the background, it's very easy to use. |
| 1:32.3 | All you have to do is tap one button and you're protected. I'm not really a big tech guy. I don't like messing with things. I don't like getting under the hood on computers. I just want things to work. Express VPN was super easy to set up. Easy to use. |
| 1:46.8 | I put it on my computer and my phone. You can put it on all of your devices, phones, computers, |
| 1:52.1 | smart TVs. There's no excuse for you |
| 1:54.8 | not to be using it. Protect your online activity today with the v p. P. P. P. P. |
