Actually, no. But it is refreshing that you have seen the Atlas VPN advert....

Does a VPN Make You Anonymous? Answer: no.

Does a 100% anonymous VPN really exist? Still no.

What's the point of a VPN if the other side still knows my location and IP? Question An interesting question.

We might remember that this particular VPN also is an income source for the Swiss-resident vlogger. Would you like to look further into the many sources for his income streams -- plural? Lots more documentation is available.

Discussion on this subject will enable an approximate tally for his monthly income. In Swiss francs, if you like.

AdSense. Donation forums, more than you have seen perhaps. Product endorsement is part of the mix, of course.

I don't think such caveats necessarily apply in the case of uploading videos to YouTube.
I'm near certain that anyone who truly wanted to post from anywhere but make it look like Switzerland could find a way to do that.

So let me put it to you this way: if I were Davydov, that's what I'd do.

I certainly don't have a problem with people doing well by doing good, so long as it's legit.

I do find it most odd that Davydov drives you people so crazy you just can't let go of it, you're constantly searching for whatever nonsense you can throw at him.
