1
00:00:01,190 --> 00:00:05,970
The two online best is called disable Windows 10 tracking.

2
00:00:06,020 --> 00:00:07,850
Now they all have similar names.

3
00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:09,000
It's a little bit confusing.

4
00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:10,620
But this one is by 10.

5
00:00:10,630 --> 00:00:13,430
SC When you see Oh.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:20,030
And you can see here this is the address to get it from.

7
00:00:20,110 --> 00:00:29,410
You can get the Python version here or if you scroll down you can find the executable version here and

8
00:00:29,410 --> 00:00:31,900
then you just need to download that.

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,800
So it is open source.

10
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:35,890
It's written in Python.

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,910
You are able to revert back once you've made a change if you want to go back from that setting.

12
00:00:40,990 --> 00:00:46,740
And it also has an explanation for each of the settings that you can make and it has a log after it's

13
00:00:46,750 --> 00:00:48,510
made the changes which is good.

14
00:00:48,580 --> 00:00:53,830
Now before you use this tool I recommend that you do a backhoe back up all the things that were important

15
00:00:53,830 --> 00:00:54,620
to you.

16
00:00:54,730 --> 00:01:00,370
And if you can create a System Restore point I'll now take you through all the options so you can understand

17
00:01:00,370 --> 00:01:02,600
what needs to be enabled and disabled.

18
00:01:02,710 --> 00:01:07,810
And even if you don't use this tool it gives you a better understanding of what exactly is enabled and

19
00:01:07,810 --> 00:01:11,390
disabled as part of disabling tracking.

20
00:01:11,890 --> 00:01:17,260
So I have the executable version here and this will need to be run as an administrator because it needs

21
00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:22,570
to make changes that require administrator access such as changes to the host file.

22
00:01:22,900 --> 00:01:24,820
And this is the interface here.

23
00:01:24,910 --> 00:01:33,360
The first thing to be aware of is the modes you've got privacy and you've got Rava privacy mode is where

24
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,790
it's going to make all of the privacy changes and the revert mode is when you want to go back on the

25
00:01:39,790 --> 00:01:41,410
changes that you've made.

26
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,520
So obviously we want to be on the privacy mode to start with to make changes.

27
00:01:46,570 --> 00:01:49,300
Now the first one is services.

28
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:57,850
This gives you the ability to disable or delete to services and those services or the diagnostics tracking

29
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:05,890
service and the WAP push message routing service both of which you don't want for the purposes of stopping

30
00:02:05,890 --> 00:02:06,550
tracking.

31
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:09,010
So disable is pretty safe.

32
00:02:09,010 --> 00:02:13,990
The key is getting rid of them completely so disable is fine.

33
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:17,070
Next is clear diag track log.

34
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:23,410
This clears and disables rise to the log located in the program data.

35
00:02:23,410 --> 00:02:27,930
Microsoft diagnostics e t l Loeb's auto Laaga.

36
00:02:28,060 --> 00:02:33,870
And if you hover over the edge you'll see an explanation Rufa explanation of what these things are.

37
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,880
Next is telemetry.

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:45,630
Now you'll notice that if you click on telemetry it will automatically select this because it is this

39
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:53,180
method that is disabling your telemetry and that is adding IP addresses to the host file.

40
00:02:53,200 --> 00:03:03,890
Now telemetry is setting's privacy feedback and diagnostics.

41
00:03:03,990 --> 00:03:07,410
So it's this is disabling that.

42
00:03:07,890 --> 00:03:09,630
And here is a house file.

43
00:03:09,690 --> 00:03:15,380
This is usually located in the Windows system 32 driver ATC.

44
00:03:15,510 --> 00:03:17,850
So right click on this open with

45
00:03:21,550 --> 00:03:23,070
Notepad.

46
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,030
There you see the host file content.

47
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,450
The next one you have is block even more tracking domains like that one here.

48
00:03:34,510 --> 00:03:45,500
If I go a menu an options you'll see we have domains to be blocked and then we've got the extra domains

49
00:03:45,500 --> 00:03:49,820
to be blocked so they taught one.

50
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:57,160
Here is this and this one here is this the actual arms.

51
00:03:57,310 --> 00:04:01,690
So you can add or remove any domains that you wish.

52
00:04:01,690 --> 00:04:07,930
Now you can search online for any extra domains that you might want to remove.

53
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:13,870
Now if you just do a simple search for Windows 10 IP addresses to block you'll find forums and other

54
00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:18,330
things where you can add extra here to blog.

55
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:24,730
But do note this could disable certain functionality that you DO want but you know these these are all

56
00:04:24,730 --> 00:04:26,610
things that need to be tested.

57
00:04:26,970 --> 00:04:30,850
So what is block tracking IP address is what makes this different.

58
00:04:30,850 --> 00:04:37,990
Is this is blocking using the Windows Firewall and you'll see firewall rules are being created if you

59
00:04:37,990 --> 00:04:46,210
select this these fow rules you'll notice because they'll be titled tracking IP X replacing X with the

60
00:04:46,210 --> 00:04:47,730
IP address numbers.

61
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:56,060
This one switches off defender and Wi-Fi sends data collection defender is the antivirus for Windows

62
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:59,080
so it stops messages being sent from there.

63
00:04:59,110 --> 00:05:08,830
That is a security issue to stop those five cents is a way of sending y fi passwords of networks that

64
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:13,190
you're connected to and you have access to to other people that you know.

65
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,940
This is a potential privacy issue.

66
00:05:16,090 --> 00:05:22,510
It is something that you can configure stop defender is changing the automatic sample submission and

67
00:05:22,510 --> 00:05:30,220
the delivery optimization download mode and Wi-Fi sense is changing the credential share and the openness

68
00:05:30,280 --> 00:05:31,370
settings.

69
00:05:31,420 --> 00:05:37,520
Then you have one drive simply on installing one drive.

70
00:05:37,620 --> 00:05:42,590
So we have this set for privacy or we need to do now is click go so click go

71
00:05:52,440 --> 00:06:01,110
and here we can see the results and we get this little log here and it creates a log hey you can read

72
00:06:01,830 --> 00:06:04,590
some error messages there that we can follow up on.

73
00:06:04,590 --> 00:06:08,150
So thats an access denied for Windows Defender.

74
00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:09,590
Thats fine.

75
00:06:12,180 --> 00:06:17,550
And we can check out some of the changes that it made.

76
00:06:18,450 --> 00:06:26,840
As the host file no change had been made to that because we need to refresh open

77
00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:42,310
Notepad and they see all the changes to the whole file all of these are getting sent to 0 0 0 0 and

78
00:06:42,310 --> 00:06:43,540
if you look at the final

79
00:06:51,360 --> 00:07:02,120
if you look outbound connections there we can see the IP addresses that are being at address any Procol

80
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,080
any pool.

81
00:07:03,140 --> 00:07:04,250
All of these are being blocked.

82
00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:11,490
So these are the ones that are hard coded into delouse within the operating system.

83
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,280
And there you have it.

84
00:07:17,370 --> 00:07:20,780
Now of course you can revert back if you want.

85
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,930
So if we right click Run as Administrator.

86
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:25,830
Quick Yes

87
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:33,030
and set the things that we want to revert back.

88
00:07:33,230 --> 00:07:36,310
Well not like that because that takes a little bit of time.

89
00:07:36,490 --> 00:07:38,400
Revert.

90
00:07:38,410 --> 00:07:47,090
Go and get our report checked the host file.

91
00:07:51,210 --> 00:07:59,210
You can see all of those IP addresses are no longer being sent to the home and

92
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:06,980
refreshing those we can see all of the firewall rules have been removed.

93
00:08:06,970 --> 00:08:12,840
Again so nice little tool.
