Pedos, COVID, war et al is an excuse. After the recent raid, I believe that to avoid becoming a honeypot, they cut off the most risky source of activities - P2P torrenting. My basis of this claim are three things – torrent traffic is colossal, and torrents are mostly used for piracy (Mullvad evading DMCA issues) and ProtonVPN free tier does the exact same thing with banning P2P torrenting.
Do you know a not sus VPN that supports p2p torrenting? I 🏴☠️ tens of games a month and recently our fascist government just passed a draconian anti piracy law, what VPN should I look to?
There are only 4 left, with each having various degrees of issues.
All I want to say is we have limited time as pirates unless an underground net is established that is not leech-y like private trackers are. Give or take, less than two years, being optimistic as a small scale data curator/hoarder.
Would you move to usenet to no longer use torrents?
Not sure, I have data hoarded so many things which I can stick to, combined with Russian pirate portals and good ol VirusTotal and KVRT offline scans. Usenet is way down the consideration list.
