I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?

Just checked my own and was surprised nothing came up. I'd have thought I would have downloaded legit torrents from Ubuntu or Archive.org at the very least.

[–] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

Yay private trackers I guess.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what any of this is, but Japanese Mom 2 (in Korean) sounds promising.

Lol it's showing a bunch of random shit.

Thing is, it's my phone's IP. I don't download anything on this thing.

proton vpn and nord vpn are the ones i use. both are great but nord is faster

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nord doesn't support incoming NAT ports. Neither did Mullvad anymore for that matter. Does Proton?

In the article for NordVPN it states that Port Forwarding doesn't work when using NordVPN.

[–] Swim@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

ya it only works for proton

I accidentally clicked on one of the similar IPs links without realizing and someone with that ip happened to have gotten some of the same stuff I did. I was briefly quite worried.

Nah, most probably this IP, since it is close to yours, was also assigned to you at some point in time, while downloading or seeding said torrent

I use Windscribe. I initially used it because the free version which gives you 10GB per month was enough for me. Then there was a deal on a lifetime subscription ages ago that I got for like $15.

If anyone wants a year subscription to Speedify VPN, DM me and I'll get you a key I got in a Humble Bundle years ago that I never used.

Just a little disclaimer: windscribe cannot be trusted for any other use than torrenting

[–] zipkag@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's just that it's a random company. And they have a free tier which is a red flag. Use well-known reputable businesses when your privacy really matters

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They are no more or less reputable than more well known providers. Which providers are you comparing it to? Please provide some sort of source for what you are saying.

I have multiple torrents going right now and nothing shows up for me on the site

[–] KinNectar@kbin.run 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@can Following for VPN revommendations.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

There's plenty now.

[–] Virkkunen@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven't done for a month now.

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm fairly sure my ISP is dynamic by default, I remember a neighbour having to pay extra for a static IP for a camera networking issue.

Nope, never used a private tracker before (forgot to add this). The site just seems innacurate.
