    And now I’m on a VPN because if they’re just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they’re gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.

    TBH I should have been behind a VPN before

        I love Mullvad and used them for years, but without port forwarding, they’re not the service you want for torrenting. Some alternatives like AirVPN or ProtonVPN are better suited for that stuff.

        Before the haters jump in and tell me “it works fine fer me!” it’s only working because the user on the other end, like myself, have port forwarding set up. Since you don’t have it, you’ll never connect to anyone else like yourself nor will they be able to connect to you.

        Of course there are alternatives like streaming and Usenet but there are tradeoffs no matter what you pick.

      I recommend AirVPN. Never had a problem w/ them & doesn’t require a special VPN client.
