I’d prefer to get a VPN to avoid the risk of my internet getting shut down, but I’m not aware of what the options for Linux are. I figured this would be a good place to ask.

    I’m a Proton slave, all my eggs are in their basket so I’ll go ahead and provide some free marketing for them. ProtonVPN is pretty good since it’s ran by a good company that cares about you, getting Port Forwarding setup on Linux is a bit of a chore but I believe they’re working on automating it, the Windows app does have it automated already by the way.

    I do worry about the long-term practicality of ProtonVPN because of this manual process, since as far as I can tell there’s no way to automatically hand your assigned port to the torrent client…

      Any idea on when they’ll get port forwarding automated on Linux? Do you follow a blog of theirs or something?

        I’m not sure if their app does it. But the gluten docker container supports their port forwarding. Works really well if you’re looking to route other containers through a VPN.

          AHH ok, yeah I do that already. I thought maybe their Linux app might so it at some stage. But glutun is good enough for me right now.
