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.
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.
Are you capable of stating what issue it is you see with my arguments?
I mean, I gave you a whole narrative about moving goalposts, if you can't get it from that im not sure im qualified to help you.
Hmm , actually, there is this I suppose but that's a lot more words than the previous reply so ... It could go either way.
OK, so you missed the point of the discussion and have nothing constructive to add. Got it.
So I gave you two examples that match your criteria and you still can't figure it out. Got it.
...or ..perhaps you did figure it out ..and have moved the goalposts again.. dammit , can't believe I fell for that, congratulations.
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.
Oh God, we're running in circles, this conversation no longer makes sense.
I guess if I ever end up in a situation when I say "Trump accidentally did something good", I'm now a Trump supporter and I'm praising him, and I'm MAGA - in your book. Right? Oh, no, sorry, I'm actually a Nazi supporter! Well, fuck off, and fuck you.
Have you ever stopped to think that maybe the reason you've seen "carbon copies" of those arguments is because these are not arguments, these are statements of fact? And the only thing making them "bad faith arguments" in your mind is that they go against your fundamentalist worldview of "us vs them"?
Don't bother answering, I know you haven't.
EOT on my end.
Noone in this thread said you were a nazi supporter nor did anyone in this thread say the proton guy was a nazi supporter.
You are tilting at windmills.
Then what does this mean?
