That’s what VPNs are there for! Ze German setup: gluetun and qbittorrent via docker, qbittorrent only going over gluetuns network.
This way we can return what we take tenfold and still come out on top!
“most of them are (if advertised heavily)” is quite a claim without data to back it up.
At least for the one I tested none of them sent additional traffic over my connection. That’s just one data point and I only looked to ones with port forwarding but still far away from your claim.
There are a shitload of VPN tests out there and testing id your connection gets used by third parties for not traffic is even possible for a layperson.
Please stop fear mongering without remedies or specifics.
Eh, “thing I really want, but provided for free” combined with “thing we really want you to use, for free” -
We should maybe put fear mongering directly on that, I think. Free things, that cost real money to provide, that cost no money to use - we should maybe fear monger a little.
Yeah that’s way more specific and can get behind - I don’t even test any “free” VPNs.
I didn’t intend to imply that VPNs are free.
Good chance I’m just annoyed and arguing with the wrong person, probably even about the wrong thing lol.
My b. I appreciate you.
