Hello all!
I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.
I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).
I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.
These are some pretty good Vegan Pasta Noodles:
Airvpn with wireguard client prolly. I would just get a seedbox tbh roughly the same price but with more features
Thanks for the suggestion! This may actually be the route I may go, as I can seed MUCH higher than a 1.0 without affecting my home connection speeds.
Exactly.
You also get wireguard vpn free with seedbox. Albeit the location will be limited to Netherlands.
Is setup similar to a VPS where I can just connect from the command line and set everything up on the remote box?
Ivpn would be your best choice I think. I’m using proton VPN after mullvad abandoned port forwarding (why oh why did they do that!), but their client for Linux is basic but they are developing a new one at the moment. So port forwarding is a bit difficult to setup (but they do have it).
Sorry but your wording is a bit confusing. Are you saying that Proton have port forwarding but it’s difficult to set up? And is Mullvad developing a new client or is it Proton? And how does IVPN fit into the picture, do they not have any of these limitations as Proton/Mullvad?
Sorry haven’t had coffee yet. So in short:
Proton has port forwarding but difficult to setup on Linux. They are developing a Linux client more feature rich where hopefully oort forwarding will be an ease just like the windows client they have. Ipvns client for linux I think has this feature but needs verification since last time I looked was more than I months ago.
Thanks for the information; I already use proton mail plus to have all of my email domains under one, easy to sort inbox. However, I don’t wish to perform illicit activities on something with my legal name attached!
The same 3 VPNs get recommended each time this question is asked:
- Mullvad
- Proton
- IVPN
Sorry to spam the instance with a FAQ. I may of been misinformed, I was under the impression it was difficult to seed easily with Mullvad now. Also I was curious if anyone had recommendations with good Linux clients, not just the service itself; It seems IVPN or Mullvad will be the best all around option for me, if I do go the VPN route.
So two that don’t offer port forwarding and one that only does on Windows? Wow what a great recommendation…
Only Proton should be recommended for torrenting since it has port-forwarding. I don’t know why people love suggesting these even without port-forwarding.
