Hello, fellow linux ISO enjoyers,

as you may know, Mullvad VPN is disabling port forwarding 1st of July, which is a pity if you are serious about building that ratio.

Are there any other fast torrent-friendly vpn's with the ability to port forward and ideally ipv6? I have quite a number of torrents in my seedbox and was pretty happy with Mullvad since I was consistently able to squeeze around 800Mbps symmetrical from it, however it's time to move on.

Short rationale:
• You already have a seedbox, why bother with VPN?
Dealing with DMCA is pain and any hosting, which is sending complaints to /dev/null, has insane hardware prices for more demanding users. My seedbox is serving as a media archive since I seed everything I have indefinitely.

• You won't get complaints if you're using private trackers
Entry-level trackers are not bulletproof, I'm still using TL a lot and really, really don't want to move 10's of TB's of shit if asked.

Long story short: VPN works. The question is - which one?

you got a guide you could link to? I tried getting into i2p before but I dont see the immediate connection between i2p and torrenting.

Thanks in advance.

So there are 2 main implementations of i2p. First is the main dev's Java client here https://geti2p.net/en/download

The other is i2pd, which is C++.

I use the Java one personally but both would work. Someone posted back on reddit a guide on /r/i2p for qbittorrent, which is what I use now for this too. The guide was shared as a public torrent you can download with this info hash: 3f1d51095f9b116739172c1bced149acf2b10692

Use that hash with any of the various public trackers and you should be able to download that guide.

But if you just want a basic setup, that Java client comes with i2psnark, which is a bittorrent client already setup.

The only other thing you want to do is go and search the biggest tracker for stuff, which is called PaTracker, Postman's tracker. http://tracker2.postman.i2p, only accessible from i2p itself, which you'll need to have setup and running first to view.

you are a saint! thank you!
