I'm not running an insurgent cell from my basement, and the UK isnt the most litigious over personal use of legally-owned media, so there's some leniency I can take over logging policies and hardening; I've never used a VPN for more than circumventing the odd blocked website, but my 12TB jellyfin NAS has seemed to fare well otherwise.

Mainly I wanna make sure I steer clear of anything Israeli or Nazi-aligned, coz my initial choice would've been Proton or Mullvad if not for that bs ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Low latency and high bandwidth is kind of a given, it's a home network after all, but my main usecases are:

  • Circumventing indexer/site filters from my ISP.
  • Downloading (legal!!!) torrents
  • Bypassing weird routing issues from my VPN that give me random jitter/ping spikes in videogames

I'm guessing I'd use something like Wireguard and DHCP to set it up on my home network? My router is locked firmware so I'm planning to use my NAS as the ...proxy? I hate networks

I knew Windscribe were edgelords because of their cringe marketing, but man, I did not know they did that. That's... off-putting, to put it mildly
