If you actually read the article, you see that this problem is 100% solvable if you use a VPN.
Or using i2p
Aye if you want mid-90s download speeds
i2p isn’t that slow. Tor is slow.
That’s what I understood too, but I thought I was wrong since this group can not be that stupid.
Yep
This is for the Netherlands, but it’s about the anti-piracy group not allowing defeats in court on the basis of GDPR and ISP refusal get in the way of a good harassment.
Good read if you want higher blood pressure.
Most seedboxes are in Netherlands.
BREIN. There’s an evil villain name if I ever saw one.
What I don’t understand is how an IP address used as an identity? If you have CG-NAT there’s a good chance you share your IP with 5-6 other people (even more possibly). Alternatively you can say I keep my WiFi open for guests so anyone can walk by my house and torrent on my IP (idk NL law but maybe the court will consider this negligence)
Fuck this group with an engorged cactus. Pieces of shit.
BRB switching my VPN location to the fucking NETHERLANDS
I watched a thing about copyright and trademark enforcement where the corporate organization was somehow able to gather a team of 50 police at tax payer expense and march them into a Sunday market in order to capture and shut down market stores selling fake knockoffs. You could see how wildly unpopular it was with the entire crowd around them where some shoppers even continued browsing and trying to purchase goods from the shut down stores even with cops standing right there trying to make the crowd move on.
Copyright and trademark infringement against multi-billionare companies with continuous record profits is seen as a victimless “crime” at best by the vast majority of people, even reasonably well off people too. The only repercussion if you’re “caught” should be just paying the actual construction/reproduction cost of the item which is pennies, they weren’t going to make this sale at their ridiculous retail price in the first place and their real losses are miniscule at best.
And that is why I don’t torrent, living in Germany. Even just leeching will put you on the radar of, at best scam law firms, at worst motivated rights-holders.
I have downloaded dozens of terabytes in Germany and I’m doing fine buddy.
For now…
No need to risk your savings over Avengers Endgame 4K…I’ve been doing it for almost 10 years. I know what I am doing. I have several layers of security.
If you however are a tech illiterate then of course you’ll get fined. I have friends who got fined too.
Would it be possible to reveal what you did to increase security?
I always (want to) try to improve mine.I have two containers, qBittorrent and the VPN:
- VPN is fully tunneled and encrypted.
- qbt only ever sees the VPN as its network. It is logically isolated from my main gateway.
- there are healthchecks running, so if the VPN fails qbt enters in a restart loop until the VPN is back to a healthy status.
- I use private trackers for 99% of my torrents.
You also have to know that these scummy law firms use honey pot attacks, where they advertise themselves as leechers and record your IP if you upload to them. Technically a proxy to another country would just be enough here, but hey, this works too and I sleep better.
Since you use a torrent container and a vpn container I am interested in how you manage to communicate with the torrent container.
Do you utilize the *arr stack? Also with a docker?
If the answer is yes, how did you achieve the communication between the containers?Reason I am asking is, that I want to connect to my other container but when I bind my container to the service I am unable to let it communicate directly with it.
By that logic, I’d need to access the container through the vpn container, right? (*arr <-> vpn container <-> downloader container)You have to expose the qbt http port in your VPN container. All API communication (arrs etc) goes through here.
Kid named vpn:
VPN and you are fine lol. Sometimes you have to pay even for illegal stuff… Nothing’s free…
You could use i2p for bittorrent, it is free, slower but secure.
Freaking slow, exactly like Tor imo. The last torified torrenting test was many years ago. Speeds were at 100kb/s. Nope. With double VPN I’m at ~150 Mbit/s during torrent downloading.
And time is more expensive than anything else :)
Just use a VPN
We really need to push for the use of i2p for torrenting. Given that the the offer of VPNs with port forwarding that are decent is little and decreasing every year.
I’m honestly surprised people still don’t use a seed box…
What if your seedbox is located in the Netherlands? (Mine is…)
Asking the same question as well. What counties would be best to have a seedbox in.
Mine is too, I’m not worried ;)
How does a seed box protect your anonymity?
