I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?

Nothing for me thanks to real debrid

The folks on similar IPs to me really like porn.

I’m on Nord. I know a lot of folks on here diss it, but I’ve been mostly happy with it.

Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.

Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP

I'm in the same boat, I haven't torrented the "traditional" way in YEARS ever since I moved over to the superior Usenet

And yet, I'm seeing a small history list here as of a couple days ago hmmm and I'm on Crapcast so CGNET doesn't apply

Looks like I'll be doing some investigating today :/ maybe it's time I got off my ass and got Suricuta running on pfsense

What did your transition to Usenet look like? I just transferred from torrenting to Soulseek myself but it isn’t cutting it

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.

I don't sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.

Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it's of quality and worth the price.

I love that even the URL preview shows an IP address lol.

The site just grabs the viewers current IP I imagine it's probably whatever address is used by the instance to parse the URL and generate the preview, since it's different if I view it on my instance, vs if I view it on the original post on dbzer0

Just fun to notice I guess.

Apparently I downloaded the fate of the furious 4 hours ago on mobile data according to it?

[–] millionsofplayers@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

turned on a vpn and 2 notable things on here are someone downloading one piece books and probably illegal content

[–] HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I am not familiar with mobile data, but I suspect mobile ips are dynamic or shared. Apparently my mobile-data-neighbor downloaded porn.

Thanks for the link! I lost this a while ago and I was loathe to find it. It comes around, doesn’t it? 😊

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Just checked my own and was surprised nothing came up. I'd have thought I would have downloaded legit torrents from Ubuntu or Archive.org at the very least.

[–] bighatchester@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well they know what I downloaded but I dont really care . Is there anything my Canadian ISP can do ?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

There's a small chance you'll get a letter with no follow-up.

[–] Virkkunen@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven't done for a month now.

Nope, never used a private tracker before (forgot to add this). The site just seems innacurate.

Lol it's showing a bunch of random shit.

Thing is, it's my phone's IP. I don't download anything on this thing.

I accidentally clicked on one of the similar IPs links without realizing and someone with that ip happened to have gotten some of the same stuff I did. I was briefly quite worried.

Yay private trackers I guess.

[–] DemBoSain@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

I have no idea what any of this is, but Japanese Mom 2 (in Korean) sounds promising.

I have multiple torrents going right now and nothing shows up for me on the site

[–] Swim@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

proton vpn and nord vpn are the ones i use. both are great but nord is faster

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Nord doesn't support incoming NAT ports. Neither did Mullvad anymore for that matter. Does Proton?
