  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • 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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 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.

    ProtonVPN has "Stream films, sports events, and videos on any streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iplayer etc)" in its description.

    Torrhunt and Orion Torrent Client, both have the tag "netflix torrent".

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 23 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    TIL there is a tag "netflix torrent" which is a hillarious word

    [–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 10 points 8 months ago

    Its just two separate words

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    It's also one of the few privacy-respecting VPNs that allow port forwarding

    [–] _g_be@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    What's the benefit to that, if I've got it running workout that manually set and it works great?

    [–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 9 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    In this case it's useful to torrent Linux ISOs without leaking your IP

    [–] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 36 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

    Somewhere in the description or reviews mentions netflix probably

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 8 months ago (5 children)

    It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 8 points 8 months ago

    Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.

    MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.

    A flatpak cant do that.

    [–] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

    [–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

    I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

    Will check that out

    [–] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    What? It work for me flawlessly.

    Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

    [–] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

    Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

    [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Isn't that the majority of AUR?

    [–] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

    [–] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

    Damn why no one told me about this??

    [–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

    Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.

    [–] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 2 points 8 months ago

    Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.

    chad flathub

    [–] fussganger@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Thanks for torrhunt. I was looking for something like this.

    [–] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

    LOL, what the fuck is this?

    https://snapcraft.io/torrhunt

    Note: Limited features after 30 days of evaluation period

    It's also closed source, and the developer has like 30 of the most generic trash apps on the snapstore: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/keshavnrj. My advice would be to stay away from this. Looks shady as hell.

    I guess the playstorification of flathub and the snapstore has begun.

    [–] Agility0971@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Odd that stremio is not on that list. It's superior to netflix

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 4 points 8 months ago

    And qBittorrent

    [–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 8 months ago

    They know their priorities.
