VPN Security: Pros & Cons Of PPTP

hey guys welcome back and today I'll be

talking about the point-to-point

tunneling protocol And discussing its

pros and cons now point-to-point

tunneling protocol is a popular VPN

protocol that has been around for

decades it was developed by Microsoft in

the 1990s and is widely used due to its

ease of setup and compatibility with a

wide range of devices however there are

pros and cons to using pptp in VPN

security which will be explored in this

video so when it comes to Pros one of

the main advantages of pptp is its ease

of setup it requires minimal

configuration making it a popular choice

for novice users and small businesses

another Advantage is its fast speeds as

it has a low overhead and uses less

encryption which makes it faster than

other VPN protocols additionally it is

widely supported by various operating

systems and devices including Windows

Mac OS Linux IOS and Android so you have

a lot of flexibility when it comes to

using this protocol now moving on to the

cons the main disadvantages of pptp is

its weak security it uses outdated

encryption protocols and is vulnerable

to various types of attacks including

man in the middle attacks and Brute

Force attacks another disadvantage is

that it's easily blocked by some

firewalls making it less effective in

bypassing internet censorship and Geo

restrictions pptp also lacks Advanced

features such as split tunneling and

multiple authentication methods making

it less versatile and secure than other

VPN protocols so in conclusion while the

point-to-point tunneling protocol is

easy to set up fast and widely supported

it has weak security it's easily blocked

and it lacks Advanced security features

there 4 it's essential to weigh the pros

and cons and consider other VPN

protocols such as openvpn for example

which offers better security and

advanced features now if you're

interested in a top-notch VPN here are

my top three recommendations and so I've

been regularly testing the best and most

popular vpns and have narrowed it down

to express Nord and surf shark as the

best three vpns overall of course they

all vary in budgets and features yet

they all have a kill switch they're

excellent for torrenting and they all

consistently work of streaming services

such as Netflix Hulu and Amazon Prime

video and that's why these are my

favorite three but depending on your

situation and preferences one of them

may be a better choice for you and I'll

explain why now starting with expressvpn

and this is going to be the one to get

if you're looking for the best overall

fastest and easiest to use VPN and it

has the most verified no logs pile

policy which was demonstrated through a

real life stress test proving that they

don't collect or track any user data it

has over 3000 servers in 94 countries

which is a big number of countries

allowing you to easily access content

from all over the globe plus you can

secure up to five simultaneous

connections per account and it's

compatible with most devices and so

ultimately whenever people ask us what

the best most reliable VPN is and don't

mind spending a few extra dollars to

ensure the highest level of reliability

expresses our trusty go-to choice for

those looking for a premium VPN next up

is nordvpn and Nord is what I consider

the best value VPN it has over 5400

servers in 60 countries and while more

servers does not necessarily mean better

service this can help with speed and

latency especially if you use a VPN for

gaming or if you want extra features

such as a threat protection which blacks

ads malware within websites as well well

as protect your device from harmful

files which is a neat little feature and

so Nord kind of gives you more options

to fiddle with and that's where the

value for the money comes from

especially that it's about as fast as

expressvpn in terms of performance and

will let you secure up to six devices

per subscription as opposed to

expressvpn's 5 device limit so all in

all if you're someone looking to have a

few more options in your VPN then Nord

would be the one to get and then finally

surf shark is our pick for the best

budget VPN and while it has all the

essentials like Express and Nord it's

not quite as fast as those two although

with surf shark you're allowed to

virtually secure an unlimited number of

devices with just one account so it's a

great option if you don't want any

simultaneous connection limits you also

get over 3 200 servers in 100 countries

which is a lot you still get some bonus

features such as an ad blocker for

blocking pop-ups two types of specialty

servers as well as no borders mode and

rotating IP which can be very useful if

you're looking to use your VPN in a

restrictive country so ultimately if

you're looking to spend the least amount

of money but still have all the core

features of a premium VPN or if you need

a VPN that allows you to secure all of

your devices or if you have a large

family then surfshirt is the ideal

choice and so to sum it up these are

definitely the best in the business

Express is a premium VPN with a strong

emphasis on security and utmost

anonymity and it's perfect for those who

are privacy conscious and are looking

for the best VPN overall then nordvpn is

a well-rounded high performance VPN that

offers a lot of value for the money and

is ideal for those looking for bonus

features that can be useful in a variety

of ways besides base VPN functions such

as a strong encryption secure torrenting

and working with streaming services and

surf shark is truly the best budget VPN

that gets the job done without

sacrificing any of the necessary

security features that you usually get

with more expensive vpns and as an added

bonus you get the shared around with as

many of your friends and family as you

like which is a great plus so that's it
