Do you know if Proton’s port forwarding times out and needs to be reconfigured every so often in the same way the other commenter mentions about Windscribe?
I had not read about this criticism of KPMG before. For the benefit of other readers, I found this other forum post from March 2025 where commenters question the worthiness of the KPMG audit for PureVPN. For my own part, I’m not sure I understand what an audit that’s acceptable to privacy communities would look like. If somebody can elaborate on this, I would appreciate it.
I was afraid of that, but thanks for confirming.
My only reservation was that it’ll take a really long time (several terabytes on traditional HDDs) but perhaps that is the way to go.
Aha, thank you!
Any of the trackers that show up on the open signups forums, e.g., OnlyEncodes+ and FearNoPeer (both Unit3d based).
Right? I see lots of people recommending MaM for audiobooks, but not allowing VPN during the initial registration process is a hard no for me. Oh well.
Heads up about myanonamouse - they forbid VPNs during the initial interview, although apparently they allow VPNs after that.
Seems like this might still be the way in 2025. Thanks for chiming in!
I had a feeling this might be the answer, so thanks for confirming my suspicion!
I’ll check it out, thanks for the pointer!
That’s what I thought—thanks for confirming my suspicion.
Fear No Peer (FNP) is open for another 2 hours 50 minutes today.
Thanks for the idea about exporting torrent data using the CLI - I’ll look into that.
Re: linking, I currently use sym links to avoid duplicating storage across multiple trackers. My main reason for sym links is so I can link across different devices (my understanding is hard links are limited to the same device). Hard link or sym link aside, the problem is for a given torrent, I don’t want to delete it from any trackers if it’s performing on at least one of them. My thought process is if I’m keeping the content around for even just one of my trackers, I may as well keep cross seeding it, if for no other reason than to earn that sweet bon. The hard part is identifying which torrents are performing poorly across all trackers. If I can get the data into CSV format, then I think I can massage it well enough to tell which (poorly performing) torrents can be safely purged from all trackers.
