Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that’s what they say) to torrent safely.
I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?
I know, but It’s better than exposing my IP, right? I mean, do I actually risk something using the free plan?
this is what I was using with protonVPN, but I’m not sure if I can configure it also for hide.me because it is not in the supported providers
Just go with mullvad, so far it is the only VPN I know of that allows you to pay with physical currency with zero papertrail back to you.
Mullvad.net
I wish I could afford it…

Didn’t Mullvad ban torrenting?edit: looked it up, looks like they didn’t. Can’t remember what I read that said they did.
whatever free provider you want, pick one that supports OpenVPN, as that is where you can force gluetun to work generic-ly. i seemed to recall some instructions for non-preconfig OpenVpn connections. … maybe
doesn’t it also supports wireguard?
