#760: Robert Rodriguez and Susan Cain

I don't know about you guys, but I've had the experience of traveling overseas and I try to access something, say a show on Amazon or elsewhere, and it says not available in your current location, something like that. Or creepier still if you're at home and this has happened to me. I search for something or I type in a UL Incorrect, and then a screen for ATT pops up. And it says, you might be searching for this. How about that? And it suggests an alternative. And I think to myself, wait a second, my internet service provider is tracking my searches and what I'm typing into the browser. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't love it. And A lot of you know I take privacy and security very seriously. That is why I've been using today's episode sponsor, ExpressVPN, for several years now, and I recommend you check it out. When you connect to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into, including hackers, governments, people in Starbucks, your internet service provider, et cetera. And no, you are not safe simply using incognito mode in your browser. This was something that I got wrong for a long time. Your activity might still be visible, as in the example I gave to your internet service provider. Incognito mode also does not hide your IP address. Also with the example that I gave of you can't access this kind or that content wherever you happen to be, then you just set your server to a country where you can see it and all of a sudden, voila, you can say log into your normal Amazon account as opposed to being routed to dot UK or whatever, and uh everything works. So ExpressVPN protects you and enables you because it encrypts and rerouts your network traffic through secure servers. So even though your traffic is still passing through your internet provider, now they can't read it. ExpressVPN is so fast also it doesn't bog things down at all. I usually forget that I even have it on. I can stream

High quality video with no lag or buffering, even on servers thousands of miles away. Gives me access to servers in 105 countries around the world, which is very helpful. as I am constantly traveling and love to do so. It's easy to use. You just choose a server location and tap one button to connect. You do not need to be technologically savvy, you don't need to know anything about how it works. It's just one click. And it works on every device, phone, laptop, tablets, even TVs. ExpressVPN has really changed the way I use the internet, and I can't recommend it highly enough, so check it out.
