  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Recommend me a good VPN service with port forwarding then.

    [–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago (9 children)

    Airvpn. But you probably dont actually need it like you think you do.

    Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. But what do you mean I don't need it like I think I do?

    [–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Whatever you think you need port forwarding for can probably be better accomplished using something like tailscale or wireguard. The reason most vpns dont support forwarding and some used to but dropped it is because its just not worth the hassle andc creates an additional way for your IP to be leaked.

    [–] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    Wireguard is a VPN protocol. I need port forwarding for efficient torrenting. Proton offers both OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols. Tailscale is not so good for torrents, I think.

    Torrenting works fine without port forwarding, thats what trackers are for. Forwarding won't make your downloads any faster.

    [–] kadotux@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    That's not what I've read on the subject.

    [–] HappyTimeHarry@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

    You can just try it for yourself, use a VPN but dont do port forwarding and grab your favorite Linux iso, see if you notice a difference.

    Their forwarding might make your downloads faster.

    [–] ShankShill@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    If you don't have port forwarding, you can only connect to peers that do.

    If you have port forwarding, there's more potential peers to connect to. So yes it can make downloads faster.

    That just isn't true anymore, you can test for yourself.
