I switched to windscribe last month because the proton CEO starting spewing politcal BS, and I wanted port forwarding that wasn't locked behind a shitty GUI.
As far as I was concerned setup was super easy, the VPN speeds were great, and port forwarding worked really nicely. The whole price for a fixed server and port forward, + unlimited data was a bit much (at $95/year) but for the ease of use and speeds I was getting, I was happy to stick with them.
My setup is a always-on server with a 1gbps connection, where yes, I fucking seed my shit, all of it. I have about 30TB of linux ISOs and counting, and it's rare that my combined upload speed is less than 1MBps, ever.
Which lead me to getting banned from windscribe with no notice or warning in the middle of last week. This lead to me having to spend tracker points to avoid HnR, and i'm also unable to grab any new ISOs until I find a new VPN provider that won't ban me for actually using the service full time.
I did shoot them an email (after talking' with their AI bot first), and they were actually helpful enough. The offered to restore support, so long as I promised to not torrent with them again (which, I honestly did promise not to. I'm not sticking with a VPN service that can't handle me actually using it for what it's advertised for) and they did unban the account. Whole email chain took about three days to get resolved.
My sticking point is that they still have instructions on setting up torrents on their own website, and that they specifically allow for unlimited data (with the plan i paid for) so long as it's just one user. I did not break those rules. After clarifying that in the support email, they still said that I was using too much data (despite the unlimited data advertisement) and that torrenting was not allowed on their service.
TL:DR: Windscribe bans you if you use a lot of data, and support says torrents aren't allowed, despite their website advertising such. Proof in the attached images.
If y'all have any other suggestions for a VPN that allow port forwarding i'd really appreciate it.
The poster asked for context, context was provided in a relatively neutral way, then you respond as if the person providing a helpful link is making the same statements as op when in fact they were just providing the factual background.
Was it, though?
That's a pretty non-neutral way to present things, considering nothing like that happened in said tweet.
It's a message praising the republican party and actions taken under the trump admin, in response to a trump tweet. No, it would be bad faith to argue it isn't praising trump. You can argue he has a point, or that you don't care, or it's no big deal, but it's absolutely praising trump.
Very specific actions under a tweet about a very specific thing, yes.
For a specific thing in specific circumstances, yes. How is that a bad thing? Do you think that we should just carpet-bomb with hate every action that Trump and his administration does? Even if it's something objectively good for the average person?
That's some quality engineering at work there, are you using some of them in-post hidden motors like the sketchy cyclists ?
I can't even see any wheels.
I thought for sure them goalposts were fixed in to the ground, but no, they just zipped on by at a rate of speed.
Once again, you are the person in this thread arguing about the rightness or wrongness. The fact is he made a post praising trump.
Elsewhere, yes, I will happily call the proton guy a nazi supporter. But that's elsewhere.
Further, what you just said looks like a carbon copy of other bad faith arguments I've seen on lemmy on this subject.
