From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can easily add them by following the instructions on their site.

On immutable fedora it can be done via

curl -o - https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo

rpm-ostree uninstall mullvad-vpn --install mullvad-vpn

# after reboot, if not working
sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon

Yes that is so sad. No torrenting anymore just leeching. Sucks. But understandable, how do other VPS providers handle that?

Idk for the how but airvpn does for comparable prices. This coming from a fellow multi-tb Linux iso torrenter. Also I assume you mean VPN unless mullvad does VPS stuff I don't know of.

VPS and VPN. Everyone hosting stuff that makes Police known on their doors

Does your network not support UPnP? You shouldn't normally need to port forward in order to seed a torrent, unless your network prevents NAT traversal.

Uhm, I dont know? Does that work over Mullvad? I thought then it only works if the other person has an open port

They have users that quit if they remove the feature.
