Just a PSA: VPN and cover your ass as you pirate.
My country doesn't care (Slovenia) and many others don't care either
Exactly. Italy doesn't care either, unless it's football (soccer if you like freedom 🦅).
Ideally use a VPN with port forwarding (like AirVPN ~~or Mullvad~~) so you can properly seed :)
I see airvpn ... I say. It's great!
And make sure you set it up right to do so
My dumb ass left VPN_AUTO_PORT_FORWARD set as "Tru" in my docker-compose and apparently that made the image assume I MEANT "false" so it was randomizing my port and not matching the VPN to it
Fixed that stupid typo and suddenly I can seed! I. Can. FIGHT!
Mullvad hasn't had port forwarding for like a year or more?

ProtonVPN also has port-forwarding.
That being said, last time I tried it, their Linux GUI was abysmal, though I hear they recently did a revamp. I haven't used it yet though so I can't speak on it beyond that.
Just something to keep mind.
Edit: Syntax.
im not even sure the gui worked on my system lmao, i just used their cli version
Fair enough. We all have our preferences. :)
Idk about the original GUI but its still not great on Linux. That said it does work.
Oh yay. :)
Oh, I didn't realise (I don't use it). Thanks for the info.
PSA = Pirate Service Announcement?
That should be a mandatory phrase for all pirate communities.
