    Thanks for torrhunt. I was looking for something like this.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

    LOL, what the fuck is this?

    https://snapcraft.io/torrhunt

    Note: Limited features after 30 days of evaluation period

    It's also closed source, and the developer has like 30 of the most generic trash apps on the snapstore: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/keshavnrj. My advice would be to stay away from this. Looks shady as hell.

    I guess the playstorification of flathub and the snapstore has begun.

    ProtonVPN has "Stream films, sports events, and videos on any streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iplayer etc)" in its description.

    Torrhunt and Orion Torrent Client, both have the tag "netflix torrent".

    [โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It's also one of the few privacy-respecting VPNs that allow port forwarding

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    What's the benefit to that, if I've got it running workout that manually set and it works great?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

    In this case it's useful to torrent Linux ISOs without leaking your IP

    [โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    TIL there is a tag "netflix torrent" which is a hillarious word

    [โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

    Its just two separate words

    Somewhere in the description or reviews mentions netflix probably

    [โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 2 months ago (5 children)

    It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

    Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.

    MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.

    A flatpak cant do that.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    Will check that out

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

    Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Isn't that the majority of AUR?

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

    Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

    Damn why no one told me about this??

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    What? It work for me flawlessly.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

    Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

    [โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

    They know their priorities.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 85 points 2 months ago

    That's fucking based. Yarr harr.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    Odd that stremio is not on that list. It's superior to netflix

    [โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

    And qBittorrent
