Censorship | VPNs and Privacy | Find Someone by IP Address
412In this video, I go over Censorship, VPNs and Privacy, and how to find someone by IP address should they steal your laptop.
Censorship: Google by default censors most things on the internet and this is a good thing. There is a lot of malicious sites and illegal activity that needs to be filtered. However, TOR is a browser that basically is unfiltered.
Legality: TOR can get you into trouble... a LOT of trouble, and should not be used unless you have a specific need for it that doesn't fall into malicious and illegal realms.
VPNs: Good for public wifi but do not provide near the level of security that most people think.
Prosecuting people that steal the hardware using an IP address. This becomes very tricky, but still doable. It's a lengthy process, and the fact that you probably have things auto-logging in is a good thing. You can subpoena these services for IP information if needed. Give this information to the police and include it in the official police report. I've seen this go both ways and it really just depends on your local police department.
