uhh…
chat i have a problem
what do i torrent over, if not tor?
i don’t have any vpns available. i would use proton vpn but… proton is shitting itself now

@thing I’ve been using PIA - I have a VLAN carved out with a PIA wireguard connection set as the gateway, and even allows for port forwarding! Works well for me. If it’s something you can fit in your budget, it’s what I would recommend. You don’t need to set it up as fancy as I did. I just set it up that way for convenience.

@thing

is Mullvad banned in your country by any chance?

i feel like that’s the VPN most creatures here would suggest anyway, lol, even though it’s paid

@maddy @thing I’m not sure I’d trust PIA.

It was founded by Andrew Lee, the self-proclaimed “Crown Prince of Korea” and alleged habitual cocaine user, who took over freenode in 2021, called it “the digital territory of the Joseon Empire, the oldest nation in the world since 1392” and completely ran it into the ground.

He was also involved in the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange and likely stole a lot of money, but that can’t be proved because they destroyed the evidence.

It was sold to Kape Technologies in 2019 but I’m not sure they’re any more trustworthy.

@noisytoot @thing Oh gross, noted. I’ll look into alternatives before my renewal comes up.
