      Can someone correct me here.

      If I have i2P enabled on my qBittorent client and I start seeding a torrent downloaded from a non-i2P connection.

      Does my seed of it allow others to download that torrent through i2P?

        No, you need to cross seed. A torrent client that allows for this is biglybt. Or you need to manually re upload it on i2p

    IPv6. My stupid ISP actually shipped their router with all inbound ipv6 blocked with no way to unblock it, so I set up opnsense. Works like a charm!

        It doesn’t fix it, per se, rather removes the need for layers of hacks such as nat and cg-nat. Every device gets a globally routable IP - no need to forward anything, just open the port you want.

          This doesn’t solve for VPNs no longer offering it though, unless the VPN services started offering pure v6 via tunnel at some point while I wasn’t looking. I know I’ve never seen a v6 pier in the last few years since I started sailing again.

            Yeah thats been my issue. It works fine on my unprotected IP. But I don’t have the cash to spend on expensive vpns and the cheap options seem to universally be shlt for port forwarding, ie. seeding

    As someone who has recently started seeding as much as I can, this is a great question to which I don’t have the answer.

    I am not renewing my Proton yearly subscription after it ends due to recent developments. They seem to be the only “big name” VPN with the port forwarding feature. I heard of OpenVPN, but have not had a chance to dig into it too much.

    My ISP does not provide IPV6 support, so this will be pretty important to sort out soon.

      I seem to be out of the loop in regards to proton controversy and I haven’t found anything outstanding against them…

      Can you help me understand what you’re specifically referring to? I’m a proton user… so kinda want to know lol

        as far as I can tell their CEO is a semi alt right cunt. Apart from that everythin seems pretty okay and the recent shift to nonprofit status is cool

          😂 does everything have to be political now? I don’t care if the dude is a space alien who birthed Hitler, if the service is solid, I’m using it.

            Everything has always been political. Just because you’re too privileged to notice that until someone mentions a viewpoint you dislike doesn’t mean anything except that you’re usually oblivious.

                  That is ignoring the fact that the sky and grass are objective realities. “Politics” is all subjective. These are not the same thing, and your comparison is disingenuous and cynical.

                  True, you cannot avoid politics if you interact with others, hell, the family itself is the very first political unit. However, politics in the sense of news and elections is not the same, and is entirely avoidable. Your friends and families will tell you the important things anyway… it reminds me of the old blog post about avoiding the news, by Aaron Schwartz, well worth a read http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews

            It has always been. FOSS is by itself political, just beyond the basic binary logic of left/right.

            Your apoliticism is a political instance as well. Take for instance this quoute from Desmond Tutu “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

            I’m not saying you have to ditch Proton over their CEO’s takes, my point is that thinking that everything suddenly became political is naive.
