This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Read the megathread ffs, use ProtonVPN

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Don't use Proton, use Mullvad.

That said, if you're only paying for a VPN so you can torrent, you're better off getting a Debrid service instead (like Real-Debrid). It's cheaper and gets you direct downloads to any torrent you want at 1Gbps speeds.

for direct downloads it works, however I tried to torrent on it and it disabled and said "no p2p". I pay for mullvad now and have no regrets

Can't you borrow games at the library?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Not at mine. We have board games and telescopes though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

You can also torrent games at the library

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

In Austria you totally can and it costs € 30 / year. But for the new ones you can simply torrent them because nobody cares here.

Use Tor Or a pretty good free vpn like ProtonVPN. Just not a "free" one. Looking at VeePN with disgust

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

You shouldn't torrent through tor, however, i2p has built in torrents

protonvpn free tier doesn't support P2P

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

sh*t

Uhh ignore the example, idk a free vpn that supports P2P.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Nah, basic torrenting can be done without P2P. It just takes more time and fewer torrents work.
