Just a PSA: VPN and cover your ass as you pirate.
PSA = Pirate Service Announcement?
That should be a mandatory phrase for all pirate communities.
Ideally use a VPN with port forwarding (like AirVPN ~~or Mullvad~~) so you can properly seed :)
Mullvad hasn't had port forwarding for like a year or more?

ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.
That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven't used it yet though so I can't speak on it beyond that.
Just something to keep mind.
Edit: Syntax.
Idk about the original GUI but its still not great on Linux. That said it does work.
Oh yay. :)
im not even sure the gui worked on my system lmao, i just used their cli version
Fair enough. We all have our preferences. :)
Oh, I didn't realise (I don't use it). Thanks for the info.
And make sure you set it up right to do so
My dumb ass left VPN_AUTO_PORT_FORWARD set as "Tru" in my docker-compose and apparently that made the image assume I MEANT "false" so it was randomizing my port and not matching the VPN to it
Fixed that stupid typo and suddenly I can seed! I. Can. FIGHT!
I see airvpn ... I say. It's great!
My country doesn't care (Slovenia) and many others don't care either
Exactly. Italy doesn't care either, unless it's football (soccer if you like freedom 🦅).
