This heavily depends on where you live and how your local jurisdiction deals with piracy.
For example, torrenting, especially seeding, has a good chance of getting you fined in Germany.
Usually not or they are so limited that they are only viable for very small scale piracy.
If you run a server at home it's still using your public IP, so a personal VPN (you connecting to your own server) really doesn't help.
Most VPNs are pretty cheap on monthly basis if you sign up for a couple of years. I'm currently using NordVPN (which is like $3 a month). But If I'd have to pick a new provider at this time I'd go with Mullvad.
What about port forwarding? Mullvad p***ied out to the IP holders and dropped it
Good point. I guess AirVPN would my my 2nd choice. But for my setup I don't actually need it.
ProtonVPN
thats like, the biggest honeypot lmao. protonvpn:
Okay. They do have port forwarding though
Yeah, I still have like 2 more years left on my NordVPN, but the moment that dies, I'm moving to Mullvad (or something similar or better if available).
