Hi all,

Moving away from USA solutions I also want a good European vpn. I contracted GOOSE because it's from my country, but their servers are spotty on mobile and I regularly have connection issues on my Linux.

I want a stable VPN, streaming and P2P enabled, from a European provider. Who has good options? Must be Linux compatible either through an app or OpenVPN/WireGuard.

Is proton a good option?

P2P enabled

Does this mean you need port forwarding?

[โ€“] paperBark@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 day ago

Yes in order to "seed" the files you have downloaded you need to port forward your file sharing software's ports.

Basic torrenting etiquette is at least 1:1 ratio if we don't want free easy access to (free) torrents to degrade (too late honestly, we're already there). Pressure from Hollywood to block port forwarding contributes in this degredation.

(Paid) Private trackers have their own ratio rules and you will actually get booted if you don't follow them.

Yes, this would be greatly preferred
