  Yeah because pirates are notorious for giving up immediately when you make their jobs a little harder.

  But wouldn’t that go against freedom of expression and the internet?

    The current administration is seemingly trying to kill the very concept of free speech and expression.

    It might. If it causes undue burden on ISPs or services like Cloudflare, for example, the law will probably be scrapped by some part of Congress or a judge.

    And even if it somehow survives all of that, a VPN with a server in another country will make this bill pointless.

    Freedom of expression for the corporations you know the “people” who matter?

  Sounds like their strategy is to force US companies to block access to piracy sites.

  I already run my torrent client through a non-US VPN so this can literally be bypassed by adding this to my prowlarr docker compose:

  network_mode: service:gluetun

    Thank you, I’ve been using my own docker image that adds in the PIA scripts and creates a Dante SOCKS5 server which works decently but I’d like something a bit more provider agnostic in case I want to change.

    What VPN do you recommend?

      I have had pretty good luck with airvpn, but the ultimate is mullvad as I understand it, though relatively speaking it is much more expensive than airvpn.

      I don’t really have a recommendation atm, I used to use mullvad but for torrenting I feel like the lack of port forwarding was hurting my ability to seed so I switched to proton. I also recently added Usenet into my mix and since many providers bundle a VPN subscription - and mine in particular supposedly also supports port forwarding (usenetdirect bundles a ghost path VPN subscription), I’m gonna try to get it to work with that so I don’t have to pay for a VPN separately but I haven’t tried it yet.
