Thanks to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/ober found that ipleak.net can be used to check if you VPN is leaking your IP before proceeding with torrenting.
And also using Qbittorrent to tie the client to the VPN by going to Tools > Preferences > Advanced and changing network interface to your VPN.
Pirates adapt or die. So at the very least you have increased your chances of survival. Don't know if sharks will eat you though.
Noticed there's a lot of geeky people on lemmy, and so many seem to be using stuff like linux in threads asking what OS do you use. Which is definitely a big outlier from the average user. So seems like even if the numbers aren't high that there's a lot of people who can provide tech support to dumb people like me.
Some people here are saying i2p may be the future https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/259433 Sounds like Qbittorrent is planning to provide i2p support too. So hopefully port forwarding won't matter as much for future releases.
Yeah, I'd prefer it to be a resource educating and assisting people to the best options to go to than to actually be sharing direct file links or anything like that. There's other sites that are handling that side.
Or in more official terms. This is not a declaration of piracy. We are only conducting special archival operation.
Kind of hard to notice copyright laws when I'm busy sailing and feeling the fresh ocean breeze.
I haven't been commenting in /r/piracy or reddit for that matter anymore, so if there are large numbers who have taken that attitude it is expected that the voices you'd expect to hear would change as active user demographic changes.
Pirates crying and simping for reddit are truly the dumbest thinking piracy dedicated communities have a future on a company trying to artificially inflate their value so they can sell it off to other investors. Probably don't even use any sort of adblock.
I've relied on this mega thread for a long time.
Are there any tips to see check if VPN isn't leaking anything when torrenting? Mullvad used to let you check with a magnet link they provided before they got rid of it.
