Just a PSA: VPN and cover your ass as you pirate.

Ideally use a VPN with port forwarding (like AirVPN or Mullvad) so you can properly seed :)

Mullvad hasn't had port forwarding for like a year or more?

ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.

That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven't used it though yet so I can't speak on it beyond that.

Just something to keep mind.

Idk about the original GUI but its still not great on Linux. That said it does work.

im not even sure the gui worked on my system lmao, i just used their cli version

Oh, I didn't realise (I don't use it). Thanks for the info.

And make sure you set it up right to do so

My dumb ass left VPN_AUTO_PORT_FORWARD set as "Tru" in my docker-compose and apparently that made the image assume I MEANT "false" so it was randomizing my port and not matching the VPN to it

Fixed that stupid typo and suddenly I can seed! I. Can. FIGHT!

My country doesn't care (Slovenia) and many others don't care either
