For piracy I really do not see the appeal of self-hosting a VPN.

If you really must self host a good VPN like Mullvad (or even windscribe as you mentioned) can be ran even on a webserver to tunnel all of your torrent traffic through, deluge is incredibly easy to setup to run only over mullvad.

Almost any hosting company is going to send you angry emails when downloading public torrents, some may even terminate your services without warning then refuse to talk to you after the fact (looking at you contabo).

If you really want to host your own server for this I recommend looking for a “bulletproof” webhosting service, people running those services will just ignore letters from copyright holders.

That's right! I even post when I'm sleeping.

I'm doing my part!

Are you?

seems to be down for me too. I keep getting an error that the server is redirecting too many times, I wonder if they're undergoing a DDOS attack or something like that.

Mullvad still works perfectly well for torrents, I'm downloading and seeding torrents now as of typing this.

It just won't work well for certain types of torrents and certain private trackers and things like that.

It does suck they took away that feature but I understand why they did it.

It's not quite the same but at least for RARBG I've found TorrentGalaxy (torrentgalaxy . to) to be good place for torrents now.

france and these supposed "french" people are one of the greatest fabrications of all time.

No one can convince that france is real 😤😤😤

Misato face down in that purple drink. Rip.

The magic smoke needs to stay inside your computer.

If the magic smoke gets released from your computer please contact your local service center.

That's a good point I forgot to mention as well, thanks!

I know a lot of bullet proof hosts used to be in The Netherlands but now I'm not too sure about that bc I hear they're cracking down on copyright.

Time to get a cart full of blahaj

Lmao. This is great, reddit seems to be progressing their death spiral at an even greater rate now.
