+1 for Mullvad
+2
Sorry to spam the instance with a FAQ. I may of been misinformed, I was under the impression it was difficult to seed easily with Mullvad now. Also I was curious if anyone had recommendations with good Linux clients, not just the service itself; It seems IVPN or Mullvad will be the best all around option for me, if I do go the VPN route.
I only read the title and love Mullvad but for torrenting I’d absolutely recommend a seedbox instead. Some ones I can recommend are Whatbox.ca if you’re in North America or Seedhost if you’re in the EU. Feralhosting isn’t bad either specially for the price.
I started with Feralhosting but decided I wanted to try racing and bought a custom tuned server. Then I realized I didn’t want to pay $100 a month and switched to Chmuranet (sp?) and didn’t like how they treated their customers. Then I tried Seedhost which was great but the peering to North America wasn’t ideal. Finally I ended up with Whatbox and I’ve been happy with them ever since.
What would stop one of these sites from removing copywrited content and / or informing the owner?
Seems risky putting seeding in someone else's hands
They ignore complaints, just like trustworthy VPN do.
Thanks for the information, I will definitely look into those! I used to use Mullvad for torrenting for a number of years, the Linux client worked very well, no leaks, and the Killswitch was effective through manual testing.
