Starting to use "soulseek" do I need VPN
So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.
Thanks

That's more of a cautionary tale about running out-of-date software. A vpn wouldn't have affected it at all, and it's not especially relevant to OP's question. It also doesn't have anything to do with sharing content, not really relevant to your initial comment either.
Slsk is out of date
Got a link to the CVE?
what's CVE?
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, it's a system for cataloging security issues. For instance, the vulnerability in Plex that caused the leak in the link above was CVE-2020-5741.
When I called the version of Plex out-of-date, it's because it had an unpatched security vulnerability. Because you called Soulseek out of date, I'm asking you which vulnerability makes you say that.
No but the latest build is from 2018/19 probably there are exploits. I guess.
Your face is out of date!
