So i recently setup home server with qbittorrent+gluetun, i have surfshark so i can select any country from the server list. Im wondering which ones would have least tracker blocking?

Cuz I have noticed that many torrents have trackers that are blocked when a EU country is selected. Should I set Russia as the default? Anybody have experience in this?

Oh wow, i just found out that legally in switzerland, it is not prohibited to download from unauthorized sources. Only the uploading part is illegal. ISPs may still block "unsafe" sites though. So if im using a vpn, its probably fine to torrent.

    IRC the Netherlands and Belgium it's also not a crime, you won't be pursued by the authorities.

    However, that doesn't stop rights-holders from suing you for damages.

    In any case, if you're using a VPN and privacy conscious you should be fine.

    This being said, I really should switch to linux.
