If they’re individual doujin torrents (not megapacks), you can find a considerable amount of them on Exhentai, then you can just download them, and force recheck your torrents to make them alive again.

Proton is way better for our use cases since it offers Port forwarding which Mullvad stopped supporting.

Mullvad has good marketing that’s why people think it’s more secure, in reality, both are almost the same in terms of privacy and security for your average joe.

Use any of these DDL sites - https://fmhy.net/video#anime-downloading

Wait for an indie game you like to go on sale, then buy it. Once you have the base game, you can add DLCs unofficially and steam will add recognize them.

mp4 for compatibility, literally click and play on 99% of devices, most OSes come preloaded with software to play mp4 files.

mkv for functionality, it’s a much better format in general but as you mentioned, they’re not tech savvy and it is possible that they may not gave VLC or any other 3rd party video player so they may face issues, I think it’d wiser to give them mp4 files.

And for encoding, you can either encode in H.265 or AV1, both are amazing, they’ll help you save almost half of your storage, since they’re way better than H.264, the quality will be indistinguishable but the files sizes will be halved.

“Will Microsoft report me to the police for pirating games on my computer that runs windows? 😰”

Any reason to download from a low bitrate streaming site (hianime) when you can download good quality high-bitrate files from other DDL sites or torrents?

It gives you literal FLAC files, how are they gonna be malicious!?

People need to stop over analyzing things, its just a qobuz ripper, people who want to help the community provide them with Qobuz tokens that don’t expire as often as Deezer, now they just rip from Qobuz on your request, as simple as that. Firehawk is also building a similar site from scratch.

Yup, you have to open those files with a text editor like Notepad to actually see its contents.

Just a reminder to update your Winrar, there has been a big vulnerability in the .10 version of Winrar and some people have actually managed to exploit it. Someone linked an article for it, the other day but I can’t find it rn

As long as you do this, you’re good

I don’t have a VPN and don’t have a static IP (nor do I want to pay for them). Can I still forward my port using this **istio **thing ?

If you’ve got a symmetrical gigabit line, you’d be a great fit for hosting a high-bandwidth I2P node, it helps the whole network scale and makes things faster for everyone. Though I’d recommend reading more about i2p before diving in.

I’m not the only person who thinks Kill switches don’t live up to their name

Bind always. Kill switches don’t work reliably. https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/1hq8uh4/comment/m4o8n35/

Kill switches can fail. Always bind your client to your vpn adapter. https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/1hq8uh4/comment/m4u9xod/

While using a kill-switch is a good step, it may not provide complete protection. Combine it with binding your VPN network interface to qBittorrent for added privacy and security https://www.reddit.com/r/surfshark/comments/1jbf8sj/comment/mi1h8bc/

Killswitches aren’t perfect. Binding is. https://www.reddit.com/r/surfshark/comments/1jbf8sj/comment/mhtpc5t/

Yep binding is so much better than killswitch. https://www.reddit.com/r/surfshark/comments/1jbf8sj/comment/mhu9gip/

torrenting with kill switch turned on, leaks? https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1261e5h/torrenting_with_kill_switch_turned_on_leaks/

That’s not a killswitch, that’s binding your connection. It literally says that right in the screenshot. smh, kids these days. Killswitch is managed by your VPN, totally separate thing, and can still leak your IP at times. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/v2d3gp/comment/iatgezx/

I’ve had an occurrence even in windows with kill-switch on where the app closed and downloads continued. https://www.reddit.com/r/unRAID/comments/1hmihfe/comment/m3ubxj8/

Instead of kill switch (which fails a lot on many VPNs) you should bind your VPN to your torrent client. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/1b7b6j3/comment/ktm29z8/

Bind interface. Kill switch is the wrong way to go. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1937alg/comment/khaey90/

Kill switch is not reliable and can expose your IP. Please search for “how to bind vpn qBitTorrent” and follow the directions to bind the internet adapter to your vpn. That is the only safe way. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1j4023b/comment/mg4iy2q/

Bind qBit to your VPN. This stops all torrent traffic if your VPN drops it’s connection or you forgot to connect. It’s more reliable than a Kill Switch. https://www.reddit.com/r/qBittorrent/comments/ud2k5m/comment/i6ejaeg/

Kill switches are unreliable, use binding instead https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/174pwzi/comment/k4aocdo/

Bruh needs to learn how to bind his VPN & Torrent Client… Y’all, kill switches are NOT good enough. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1b5mpgp/comment/kt6a10y/

Bind your connection. Kill switches are functionally useless. https://www.reddit.com/r/torrents/comments/1c5yt4n/comment/kzxnzce/

These are what I could find in the last 15 minutes, hopefully this is enough.

It’d be even better and safer, if you pick Docker containers over VMs. Give them a shot, they’ll require less resources and would be overall much more efficient for a this purpose.

Kill switches aren’t as reliable, binding your VPN to your torrent client is the only sure fire way to ensure you don’t leak traffic through your home IP.

It’s still new so that’s expected, as more and more people start using it, the speeds will get better automatically.

There’s also private trackers, you won’t need a VPN if you get your torrents from them.
