WEBVTT 00:01.190 --> 00:05.970 The two online best is called disable Windows 10 tracking. 00:06.020 --> 00:07.850 Now they all have similar names. 00:07.850 --> 00:09.000 It's a little bit confusing. 00:09.130 --> 00:10.620 But this one is by 10. 00:10.630 --> 00:13.430 SC When you see Oh. 00:13.720 --> 00:20.030 And you can see here this is the address to get it from. 00:20.110 --> 00:29.410 You can get the Python version here or if you scroll down you can find the executable version here and 00:29.410 --> 00:31.900 then you just need to download that. 00:31.960 --> 00:33.800 So it is open source. 00:33.860 --> 00:35.890 It's written in Python. 00:35.920 --> 00:40.910 You are able to revert back once you've made a change if you want to go back from that setting. 00:40.990 --> 00:46.740 And it also has an explanation for each of the settings that you can make and it has a log after it's 00:46.750 --> 00:48.510 made the changes which is good. 00:48.580 --> 00:53.830 Now before you use this tool I recommend that you do a backhoe back up all the things that were important 00:53.830 --> 00:54.620 to you. 00:54.730 --> 01:00.370 And if you can create a System Restore point I'll now take you through all the options so you can understand 01:00.370 --> 01:02.600 what needs to be enabled and disabled. 01:02.710 --> 01:07.810 And even if you don't use this tool it gives you a better understanding of what exactly is enabled and 01:07.810 --> 01:11.390 disabled as part of disabling tracking. 01:11.890 --> 01:17.260 So I have the executable version here and this will need to be run as an administrator because it needs 01:17.260 --> 01:22.570 to make changes that require administrator access such as changes to the host file. 01:22.900 --> 01:24.820 And this is the interface here. 01:24.910 --> 01:33.360 The first thing to be aware of is the modes you've got privacy and you've got Rava privacy mode is where 01:33.360 --> 01:39.790 it's going to make all of the privacy changes and the revert mode is when you want to go back on the 01:39.790 --> 01:41.410 changes that you've made. 01:41.440 --> 01:46.520 So obviously we want to be on the privacy mode to start with to make changes. 01:46.570 --> 01:49.300 Now the first one is services. 01:49.300 --> 01:57.850 This gives you the ability to disable or delete to services and those services or the diagnostics tracking 01:57.850 --> 02:05.890 service and the WAP push message routing service both of which you don't want for the purposes of stopping 02:05.890 --> 02:06.550 tracking. 02:06.550 --> 02:09.010 So disable is pretty safe. 02:09.010 --> 02:13.990 The key is getting rid of them completely so disable is fine. 02:13.990 --> 02:17.070 Next is clear diag track log. 02:17.500 --> 02:23.410 This clears and disables rise to the log located in the program data. 02:23.410 --> 02:27.930 Microsoft diagnostics e t l Loeb's auto Laaga. 02:28.060 --> 02:33.870 And if you hover over the edge you'll see an explanation Rufa explanation of what these things are. 02:33.880 --> 02:35.880 Next is telemetry. 02:37.200 --> 02:45.630 Now you'll notice that if you click on telemetry it will automatically select this because it is this 02:46.020 --> 02:53.180 method that is disabling your telemetry and that is adding IP addresses to the host file. 02:53.200 --> 03:03.890 Now telemetry is setting's privacy feedback and diagnostics. 03:03.990 --> 03:07.410 So it's this is disabling that. 03:07.890 --> 03:09.630 And here is a house file. 03:09.690 --> 03:15.380 This is usually located in the Windows system 32 driver ATC. 03:15.510 --> 03:17.850 So right click on this open with 03:21.550 --> 03:23.070 Notepad. 03:23.240 --> 03:28.030 There you see the host file content. 03:28.280 --> 03:34.450 The next one you have is block even more tracking domains like that one here. 03:34.510 --> 03:45.500 If I go a menu an options you'll see we have domains to be blocked and then we've got the extra domains 03:45.500 --> 03:49.820 to be blocked so they taught one. 03:49.960 --> 03:57.160 Here is this and this one here is this the actual arms. 03:57.310 --> 04:01.690 So you can add or remove any domains that you wish. 04:01.690 --> 04:07.930 Now you can search online for any extra domains that you might want to remove. 04:07.960 --> 04:13.870 Now if you just do a simple search for Windows 10 IP addresses to block you'll find forums and other 04:13.870 --> 04:18.330 things where you can add extra here to blog. 04:18.510 --> 04:24.730 But do note this could disable certain functionality that you DO want but you know these these are all 04:24.730 --> 04:26.610 things that need to be tested. 04:26.970 --> 04:30.850 So what is block tracking IP address is what makes this different. 04:30.850 --> 04:37.990 Is this is blocking using the Windows Firewall and you'll see firewall rules are being created if you 04:37.990 --> 04:46.210 select this these fow rules you'll notice because they'll be titled tracking IP X replacing X with the 04:46.210 --> 04:47.730 IP address numbers. 04:47.830 --> 04:56.060 This one switches off defender and Wi-Fi sends data collection defender is the antivirus for Windows 04:56.500 --> 04:59.080 so it stops messages being sent from there. 04:59.110 --> 05:08.830 That is a security issue to stop those five cents is a way of sending y fi passwords of networks that 05:08.860 --> 05:13.190 you're connected to and you have access to to other people that you know. 05:13.360 --> 05:15.940 This is a potential privacy issue. 05:16.090 --> 05:22.510 It is something that you can configure stop defender is changing the automatic sample submission and 05:22.510 --> 05:30.220 the delivery optimization download mode and Wi-Fi sense is changing the credential share and the openness 05:30.280 --> 05:31.370 settings. 05:31.420 --> 05:37.520 Then you have one drive simply on installing one drive. 05:37.620 --> 05:42.590 So we have this set for privacy or we need to do now is click go so click go 05:52.440 --> 06:01.110 and here we can see the results and we get this little log here and it creates a log hey you can read 06:01.830 --> 06:04.590 some error messages there that we can follow up on. 06:04.590 --> 06:08.150 So thats an access denied for Windows Defender. 06:08.550 --> 06:09.590 Thats fine. 06:12.180 --> 06:17.550 And we can check out some of the changes that it made. 06:18.450 --> 06:26.840 As the host file no change had been made to that because we need to refresh open 06:30.170 --> 06:42.310 Notepad and they see all the changes to the whole file all of these are getting sent to 0 0 0 0 and 06:42.310 --> 06:43.540 if you look at the final 06:51.360 --> 07:02.120 if you look outbound connections there we can see the IP addresses that are being at address any Procol 07:02.120 --> 07:03.080 any pool. 07:03.140 --> 07:04.250 All of these are being blocked. 07:04.250 --> 07:11.490 So these are the ones that are hard coded into delouse within the operating system. 07:14.760 --> 07:17.280 And there you have it. 07:17.370 --> 07:20.780 Now of course you can revert back if you want. 07:21.240 --> 07:24.930 So if we right click Run as Administrator. 07:24.950 --> 07:25.830 Quick Yes 07:29.450 --> 07:33.030 and set the things that we want to revert back. 07:33.230 --> 07:36.310 Well not like that because that takes a little bit of time. 07:36.490 --> 07:38.400 Revert. 07:38.410 --> 07:47.090 Go and get our report checked the host file. 07:51.210 --> 07:59.210 You can see all of those IP addresses are no longer being sent to the home and 08:02.250 --> 08:06.980 refreshing those we can see all of the firewall rules have been removed. 08:06.970 --> 08:12.840 Again so nice little tool.
