VPN cancelou meu plano porque eu deixei torrent semeando

VPN só se usa Proton, Mullvad, ou PIA. Não tem nenhuma outra com a mesma reputaçã que essas 3. O governo Sueco já até invadiu os escritórios da Mullvad para confiscar dados de criminosos que usaram a VPN deles, e não tinha o que confiscar, porque eles não guardam nada, e o que passa por lá está crip

Best VPN for iPhone and iPad to Change Location?

I’ve been using PIA myself, and it works great for Minecraft, my ping only goes up by about 10ms with the VPN on. I haven’t tested it with any other game yet, so I can’t say how it performs there.

I have 10TB worth of torrents, unlimited gigabit fiber internet and Surfshark VPN. How do I seed more?

Get proton, pia, airvpn, torguard or any other vpn that allows port forwarding. This is your limiting factor. Also look how to bind the vpn interface to qbittorrent from advanced settings.

Texas has lost access to Bluesky.

Depends entirely on the vpn, while I hesitate to trust any company 100%, I feel fairly confident in PIA. They supposedly are audited by Deloitte regularly and have been subpoenaed multiple times and had no data to hand over.

Beginner. I can't understand how arr-stack works.

Quick clarification that will save you a lot of confusion: Tailscale and NordVPN/ProtonVPN in those guides solve two completely different problems. Tailscale connects your own devices to each other remotely. It does not hide your IP from other peers in a torrent swarm, that is not what it is built f

Bluesky Blocks Access from Mississippi IP Addresses

Well this fucking sucks. I replaced Twitter with Bluesky since it’s not overrun with nazi bullshit and kept up with friends there. I love the freedom living in this shithole state offers. Edit: Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN works to keep accessing the site, but I’m still very pissed this is even

No seeding on private trackers

Oftentimes private trackers see less traffic than public trackers because people are wary of their ratio so they don’t download as much. Traffic often increase during freeleech. Also, nordvpn doesn’t allow port forwarding, you should chose another vpn like proton or pia. If you don’t forward your po

New to Torrenting

Get a reputable client, qbittorent is what I use and it works great. Combine with a reputable VPN that has port forwarding (I know of PIA and Proton, but there's probably more). In your torrent client set its Network Interface to your VPN, this makes it impossible for torrents to occur unless your V

Vps for qbittorrent

Aussie here. I ran qBittorrent and torrented for over 5 years on a Hetzner dedicated server. No VPN at all (private trackers only). Never had an issue, a letter or anything. I now seed everything from home with VPN (a port fowarding VPN such as Proton or PIA is absolutely fine).
