Which free VPNs are supported by gluetun? (feddit.it)

I want to try bitmagnet on the dev server at work (yes, we have permission to use it for personal reasons as long it's legal) but for obvious reasons it must be tunneled through a VPN.

Bitmagnet it's a local search engine that discovers content via DHT. It just asks peers for content, then when you come back the following month it should have found many interesting stuff

Problem is that from a network point of view it looks I want to download every single torrent ever made so I wouldn't want to have my workplace ip address associated with that.

Because the network traffic is minimal and for this content I don't care if the provider does data mining, I would like to use a free VPN with gluetun.

But I can't find a free one that works. From the officially supported only windscribe and proton have a free offer, but windscribe free doesn't have OpenVPN or wireguard, while proton VPN free blocks me immediately as soon as the program talks with other peers, even if I don't actually download anything.

So back to the question, which free VPNs are working with gluetun, someone has experience with that?

What about https://protonvpn.com/en/free-vpn/

Do they do shady stuff, too? They say:

"[...] the Proton VPN Free plan has the same level of security as our paid plans, including the same strong VPN protocols and strict no-logs policy."

They don't allow BitTorrent on the free plan... But I don't know how that translates to you using BitMagnet, since you're not downloading the torrents.

as soon as i turn on bitmagnet, i can't even ping 8.8.8.8 , they detect&block torrent traffic immediately

Haha, thx for the info. That answers one of the questions I had. I use protonvpn-free for testing and debugging, check if my firewall works and the webservices ban me if I try brute forcing my webservices. But I've nener tried torrenting on that connection.

How do you use it

[–] rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Sign up for an account, choose a location, then configure your Wireguard client with the provided values.

But as we pointed out in the discussion, it won't get you Bittorrent. They'll immediately block you if you download torrents over that.

Sign up for an account, choose a location, then configure your Wireguard client with the provided values.

Thanks . How do i open wd.vp ?

Your questions are too short and vague, I don't understand what you want and what the letters "wd.vp" stand for.

Here is gluetun's wiki with a description how to get protonvpn running: https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/providers/protonvpn.md

When you've signed up, you are provided with more information, help, tutorials and configuration files by protonvpn. Read that, too.

You could also type your questions into google.com or look for step-by-step video guides on YouTube.
