Hello all!

I have been out of the piracy game since a little before mullvad lost port-forwarding; I know these things are ever changing, and to my understanding ivpn is a good bet at this moment in time.

I was wondering what everyone else has been using. As well as if anyone has tried the gui client for ivpn either built from source or the AUR build(I do use arch btw).

I am open to any vpn client that has a good reputation in the community, and build-able from a repository; A gui is preferred but not necessary, and absolutely NO account creation (Except for generic account numbers of course).

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes the time to answer.

If you're on a VPN, why would it matter, genuinely curious?

Private trackers are based on seeding back what you leech, and if you can't port forward it is far far harder to do that, and so you may get banned of your ratio of downloaded to uploaded gets too low.

My question is, why do you need to be part of a private tracker? What's the benefit beyond privacy, privacy which Mullvad will give you. Just go to the common public trackers; who cares if they're tracking your fake info?
