I like that billboard linked directly to it

I believe so - I never know which is the “right” domain- if there is a right domain.

Seems to be. I like using fmhy.pages.dev to check things like what domain is correct:

Thanks for the info, definitely motivated to learn and try Docker more now.

Definitely will look into Docker more, I’ve heard of it but hadn’t gotten around to giving it a shot before. Gluetun is not something I’ve heard of though. Sounds like a good setup for what I want. Any suggestions on getting started with Docker?

Can’t say I’m familiar with media servers exactly - do you mean Jellyfin, Plex, etc. or something more like adding Arr services. Didn’t know speeds could be improved either

Yep I was going to fire up a streaming site while torrenting last night, oxymoronic I know, and realized that Netflix or whatever would likely misbehave because of the VPN. Thanks for the other VPN suggestions

I guess I could’ve made that part a DDG search :) Thank you for the reminder, it does sound like exactly what I wanted on a little more research.

Just meant that being on student housing I am unable to access a router / configure any port forwarding (to my knowledge). PIA’s VPN does support port forwarding though.

edit - Sorry, I misread part of your comment. Didn’t realize forwarding could be used without router access.

A smaller dedicated PC has been something I’ve been considering, maybe a used laptop even?

Not sure what upload speeds I’m getting but I do have high capacities. Also considering getting into private trackers because I’d like to be maintaining a high ratio.

Sadly my situation is incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN.

Split tunnels sounds familiar and like what I want.

I plan to switch to mullvad in the future, figure for low stakes stuff I can use up the rest of PIA for now. Thanks for the heads up though

Unfortunately not :( thanks though.

yeah, libgen + others, it’s a recent edition and unavailable so far. Figured I’d try to get it available to others myself :)
