This Trip Was NOT What We Planned

Hey Ben, [Music] we just spent 2 hours in traffic cuz we were going to the beach. Had everything packed. I was ready to surf, but it was just madness. Too much traffic.

I need to get real for a second. I have promoted NordVPN for years now. And not being super techsavvy, I've just kind of trusted the pros with the VPN is good. You should use it. Uh, but lately I'm becoming more techsavvy and I'm learning more about Linux and this kind of stuff. And I finally uh realize and I finally understand you should always use NordVPN to protect yourself online. It still stands. With NordVPN, you unlock the entire internet at your disposal. It does so while keeping you safe in your private Wi-Fi. Your ISP knows exactly what you're doing. I don't think they should be doing that. And if you connect to a public Wi-Fi, it could have serious detrimental effects without a VPN. It encrypts you. No one knows what you're doing but you as it should be. Nord also comes with a threat protection which is another amazing level of security protecting you from malware, fishing attacks, outaware attacks. All this baked in into a great deal. I tried freeVPNs. They're completely useless. With Nord, you can run it and you won't even tell a difference. It's that fast. So, check out nordvpn.com/piepie. You get four month for free. You can try it out for 30 days. It's the best deal you could possibly get. Thank you nvpn for being an amazing sponsor. It sort of all came full circle, didn't it? That's nordvpn.com/piepie.
