Shere_KhanAdvanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know?
Also what’s the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming
There isint. This is your moment, do you take the plunge and buy a vpn, sign your soul to a pirates life?
soul signing it is matey. Yarr
100 years before the mast!
Mullvad is great
I’d rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.
You don’t want a free VPN. I’d cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.
I couldn’t agree more. Usenet all the way.
Which one do you personally prefer? I used to use easynews and some giganews back in the day but dunno how the latest and greatest is these days.
It’s been a couple years since I set it up so I couldn’t tell you what’s the best deal these days.
I use Newsdemon’s 2tb/mo plan (Black Friday deal, it’s almost free it was so cheap) and a Blocknews block for completion. I don’t have any issues with downloads being incomplete but YMMV.
Nzbgeek indexer (lifetime sub), Sabnzbd downloader, and the full *arr suite for automation.
Thanks for all the neatly packed info. Seems like I nailed with the indexer but will check the rest out. Cheers.
I just looked at the current offerings from Newsdemon and the deals are not nearly as sweet as the plan I’m on. I suspect that your best bet for a long-term subscription would be to wait until Black Friday, but there are plenty of providers with cheap blocks or monthly plans to play around with.
I’m more interested in paying for a VPN that isn’t a subscription. Are there any good options?
Fell@groats_survivor @HectorBarbossa99 Like a one time purchase VPN? That doesn't exist.
popemichaelYou prepay for it using digital currency, it’s superfast, you can use it on all of your devices, you’re spoiled for choice on how to use it, and there’s a ton of options for location.
Without a doubt it’s the best pay VPN that I’ve ever used
I switched to Mullvad after PIA got bought by that spyware company.
They’re great.
VPN is one of the few “services” I’m happy to pay a subscription for. Because it’s actually a service with ongoing costs.
HolzkohlenNot sure what you want here. A VPN which you can cancel each month? I just pay the Mullvad people some money in advance and get x months of VPN for it. Is that a subscription?
I got a lifetime subscription to keepsolid VPN a few years ago £12 for up to 5 devices, figured if I got a year out of it then that’s my money back, still going great now for me. Occasionally they do these lifetime subscription options for bargain price on stacksocial which is where I got mine. Worth keeping an eye out. There are better featured ones out there but all I want is something to funnel my Torrents and indexers through and this works fine on 150mb broadband I have with no speed drop.
Cyberwitch_7493Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I’ve had minimal issues with it.
EmuWhy would you need a free VPN? They are so cheap, and the safety and security and features that comes with a paid subscription is more than worth the very small yearly cost.
Protonvpn claim they have a few VPN. Honestly one of the easiest ways to torrent imo is to get a real Debrid subscription let them torrent them download the file through them without a VPN.
coolfissionWindscribe. It’s free but has a 10gb cap per month. I’ve used it plenty of times to torrent movies and they don’t do logging.
