Sounds painful to watch YouTube on a console primarily, unless paying for Premium although then you still get to watch sponsorships.

Even ignoring the ads, I’d be surprised if the interface wasn’t at least frustrating

Gotcha my bad.

That is a great fun fact

I just messaged someone after not getting back after 4 years :) . Online friend so not completely crazy to have not communicated.

Glad I pay taxes so the FBI goes after this, fuck small businesses or individuals, gotta protect the megacorp media company /s

Thanks for the info, definitely motivated to learn and try Docker more now.

Cool I will look into it, I always thought I was stuck not port forwarding due to the campus situation, and therefore stuck with bad upload speeds. In fact that was a reason I was going to use Mullvad in the future despite them not having port forwarding, but I’ll have to consider some other suggestions if I can get the port forwards working.

Neat! Thanks

Definitely will look into Docker more, I’ve heard of it but hadn’t gotten around to giving it a shot before. Gluetun is not something I’ve heard of though. Sounds like a good setup for what I want. Any suggestions on getting started with Docker?

Can’t say I’m familiar with media servers exactly - do you mean Jellyfin, Plex, etc. or something more like adding Arr services. Didn’t know speeds could be improved either

Yep I was going to fire up a streaming site while torrenting last night, oxymoronic I know, and realized that Netflix or whatever would likely misbehave because of the VPN. Thanks for the other VPN suggestions

I guess I could’ve made that part a DDG search :) Thank you for the reminder, it does sound like exactly what I wanted on a little more research.

Just meant that being on student housing I am unable to access a router / configure any port forwarding (to my knowledge). PIA’s VPN does support port forwarding though.

edit - Sorry, I misread part of your comment. Didn’t realize forwarding could be used without router access.

A smaller dedicated PC has been something I’ve been considering, maybe a used laptop even?

Not sure what upload speeds I’m getting but I do have high capacities. Also considering getting into private trackers because I’d like to be maintaining a high ratio.

Sadly my situation is incompatible with port forwarding with any VPN.

Definitely awesome, bookmarked for future use.
