0:14 Hello, and thank you very much for listening to this episode of The Billy Newman photo podcast. Today I wanted to talk to you about something, maybe important, but do you use a VPN? I don’t use a VPN, and I probably rarely do. But I’m kind of figuring out now like how many pieces of information routers pick up and your ISP picks up about your traffic. And I’m trying to finally figure out what HTTPS is good for, like HTTP exists, like what we remember in the 90s, typing that into Netscape trying to get to our first web domain. Or we have HTTPS now, which is the secure hypertext transport protocol. And I guess that encrypts the data that’s transmitted across that protocol before that HTTP had just an open protocol where you could still read the contents of data that was being routed to that page. So at least, I guess with HTTPS, that data is encrypted, like your banking data is encrypted, or your payment data is encrypted, and it can’t be siphoned off in some man-in-the-middle attack, I guess, apparently, or unless that didn’t work that time. That’s sort of how hacks always work. Oh, yeah, it’s protected. But except for that thing that it didn’t work for. We weren’t protected by that. Okay, well, so if you are interested, I think a VPN is sort of an interesting way where you can create a virtual private network is what it stands for. Many of them are paid, and many of them seem to be free. I think the probably the best one to jump into if you’re interested in something like Tor or the Tor Browser, the Tor router when they talk about that, I think it’s like a virtual private network system that kind of jumps you around to different IP addresses before it finally spits it out somewhere. And what that allows you to do is sort of anonymizing the the registry information that would be tracked about your connection to the Internet. At that router, is interesting. I’ve been learning all sorts of stuff about all the things that attract and sort of where it logs the router information. Wild to know about but man, it’s it makes you think a little bit about all the different things that you’re tracked on over the internet, everywhere. Crazy stuff. It’s a weird world that we’re gonna live the weird world we will live in over the next 15 to 20 years like the last 15 to 20 haven’t been so 2:39 you can see more of my work at Billy Newman photo comm you can check out some of my photo books on Amazon. I think you can look at Billy Newman under the author’s section there and see some of the photo books on film on the desert, on surrealism on camping, and cool stuff over there. But this week, I want to talk about some of the past truck travel stuff that we’ve done, and I think you’re the guy who inspired me to get a truck at the first man I got a truck gotta have a truck. Strangely, though, most of my road trip travel has been ...
