This meme is exactly why private trackers exist. The normal distribution of humanity ensures some significant portion simply cannot play nice.

    Genuine question, I've only ever been busted or had my service suspended from seeding stuff, how would I avoid that? I feel bad but I generally cancel out of pithy self preservation unless its some real niche shit no one is paying attention to.

    Just like that? I'm way behind on the tech and it's always been spooky to me. Any good reference for getting started/picking services?

    I personally use AirVPN as they allow port forwarding, but I also use my NAS as a seed box.

    Docker -> Gluetun + qBittorrent

    I have a home server running docker. I have a docker container for Gluetun and qBittorrent. Gluetun connects to my VPN provider and provides a tunnel interface for the BitTorrent client to use

    Awesome thanks for actually doing that. I'm still a ways away from fully grasping some of this stuff but that does help temendously.

    In my country they need to be able to prove who sat at the computer and did the sailing. If I ever get that famous extortion letter sent home to me I will use it as toilet paper.

    Also, Meta got away with pirating terabyte of books so as far as I am concerned it's completely legal in the eyes of US authorities to sail the high seas.

    There’s regular updates to the best one so you may have to do a web search to find some privacy community/subreddit that has a comparison chart of some sort.

    Last I looked Proton was popular, but I never trusted them because they seem like they want to be google. I went with Mulvad, which is a great VPN but one of the CEOs just came out as donating to nazis so I don’t even know any more.

    Yeah, that's how I do it. Download the the VPN app (Mullvad for me), buy some time on your account, switch it on, and carry on just like before.

    Easy to set up and I've never had a problem.

    I tried the VPN route many moons ago, but for a combination of reasons that are probably mostly just rambling, I switched to a seedbox. It also helps if you set up the *aars since that can get you fully downloaded, and able to seed to a modest ratio so quickly that the copyright holders haven't always discovered it yet before your client automatically stops seeding.
