This was what this post was referencing. Thanks for answering this question for me! I haven’t watched LTT/LMG in over 5-6 years, so I have no idea what’s going on with that.

Also besides them being extremely shady; I refuse to use any VPN that makes me create an account past a generic account number. If you don’t log my data, why do you need me to sign up?

Thanks for the information, I will definitely look into those! I used to use Mullvad for torrenting for a number of years, the Linux client worked very well, no leaks, and the Killswitch was effective through manual testing.

Oh yeah. I’ve used them for a couple years, I’ve just been out of the circle for 4-5 months. I also know things can change in the snap of a finger, so I figured I’d ask around. Good to see mullvad is still so highly recommended.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, still I can only take the company’s word to any of these claims. After further research it looks like IVPN doesn’t have port forwarding anymore either; If I do go the VPN route, I may still test my seeding speed with Mullvad as I’ve used them for a number of years.

Sorry to spam the instance with a FAQ. I may of been misinformed, I was under the impression it was difficult to seed easily with Mullvad now. Also I was curious if anyone had recommendations with good Linux clients, not just the service itself; It seems IVPN or Mullvad will be the best all around option for me, if I do go the VPN route.

Thanks for the information; I already use proton mail plus to have all of my email domains under one, easy to sort inbox. However, I don’t wish to perform illicit activities on something with my legal name attached!

Is setup similar to a VPS where I can just connect from the command line and set everything up on the remote box?

Thanks for the suggestion! This may actually be the route I may go, as I can seed MUCH higher than a 1.0 without affecting my home connection speeds.

Holy shit, thank you for that information; I will definitely ensure I use a client with those vulnerabilities patched!

Deleted my lemmy world profile and signed up on here the same day they tried to pull that shit.
