Between the hardware Rob sells, the software he's written (a social network that uses some very rudimentary end to end encryption... Which only runs on the server) and the Odysee URL all would have made me reach the same conclusion about his advice that the people who watched the video are saying:

No thanks, yeah

I'm skeptical of Braxman. For someone who is supposedly an expert on the topic, he's made some pretty bizarre and incorrect claims, such as that an ordinary person can map someone's ip address to an exact physical address

Haven't watched, assuming voip

I like Rob, I trust him, but this video is a sales pitch for his voip service, I think this should be made clear up front. It could be the solution everyone is looking for but he takes six minutes to get to the point at which you discover it's a sales video for a paid service he's created.

I am not complaining about the service or what he's offering at all and it's good that this video has been posted for people to see - especially a non-YouTube link too. :)

Do you really not have prepaid sim cards in the US? that you buy with 5 bucks and it lasts one year, and then you just top it up for another 5? Those carriers are really milking you good over there.
