For the record, I’m pretty sure using Mullvad for XDCC is super overkill, but I wanted to have an excuse to break out userspace wireguard in a project and writing it all in Go made it so damn easy: github.com/…/3d0647e946014516df33de0b18d2a16eec83…
Comment on Mullvad and Tailscale Announce Partnership
mara@pawb.social 1 year agoGenerally when you download files over torrent through your ISP, you end up getting love letters from rightsholders. I personally use a homelab NAS as my seedbox and for my public tracker stuff (as well as anime downloads over XDCC) I use Mullvad. I don’t seed overly much on public trackers because of it, but my ratio on private trackers is sky high because ISPs won’t send love letters for private trackers.

That’s why you use a VPN that allows port forwarding.
