streaming or torrenting today vs. 5 years ago

I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

Does anyone have a one click piracy stack setup with all the *arrs that takes mullvad yet? Someone should make that happen.

Maybe a nix config? Docker?

Mullvad removed port forwarding so it's not the way to go for torrenting anymore.

Works fine enoughfor me.

What am I missing? Got a better suggestion?

Without port forwarding you're limited on connections and can only connect to those who do have it enabled.

When they dropped support, I switched to AirVPN and have been satisfied. Prices are about the same I believe. Mullvad was great and even refunded me my remaining time after the switch. I'd totally use them again if I didn't need port forwarding or if they brought the feature back.

I used a compose file from reddit and made a couple of adjustments, it was pretty quick and works great. I dont have a VPN though.

Mines all in a docker conpose:
*arrs
sabnzbd and/or a seedbox + resilio/syncthing/ftp(s)
Jellyfin
a reverse proxy of your choice (mines traefik)

for DNS I utilize pihole and it's CNAME feature.
