Why are you moving goalposts?

There are no goalposts. This isn't my opinion. It's an incontestable fact that stealing IP is illegal in 98% of every country on this planet. You can choose to live denial in some virtual fantasy where you pretend that this isn't true, but you can't change facts. Period.

MANY support it.

There is no VPN on this planet which "supports" theft of IP. There are providers which don't actively seek to ban users for doing so. Which is absolutely not the same and you pretending that it is, is disgusting behavior. Truly infantile.

Well then explain me why I would need a VPN in the year 2025 with encrypted connections and HSTS being the norm

To connect to a network, which is private and virtual. As the name suggests, this is the reason for which VPNs were invented and are still used today. Using VPNs for "privacy" is how they're popularized for anyone who doesn't actually know what they are and how they're used. Which clearly includes yourself. To believe that there's no legitimate use for VPNs outside of their layman's usage is so incredibly fucking insane.

If you're going to speak about something, do yourself a favor in the future and at least do a cursory Google search to find out what it is that you're speaking about first so you don't look like a total idiot. For fucks sake.

Mullvad didn’t remove port forwarding because people were torrenting too much they removed it because people were using it for real criminal activity

Regardless of your personal feelings on the matter, pirating IP is illegal. The statement you just made is unabashedly stupid beyond all measure. Everything you listed are crimes.

I have no idea why you’re mentioning legal versus illegal torrenting as laws differ everywhere

There are less than 5 countries on the planet where pirating IP isn't illegal. This isn't a "well, it's illegal in Arizona, but not in Idaho!" type of deal. It's essentially illegal in every sovereign country on the planet save for a few.

This community is so incredibly naive and stupid sometimes. I swear to God.

My Man, unless you buy all the bullshit that YouTubers claim VPNs do, the only reason to get one is to torrent

This is one of the top 10 dumbest statements I've ever seen on the internet and shows a total and complete lack of understanding what a VPN is, and what it does.

Yes, most VPNs will allow you to do that just fine.

There are currently 2-3 countries where torrenting IP isn't illegal. Unless you have a VPN in one of these countries, there are no conditions where its "allowed," because it's entirely illegal. Even if it's not expressly outlined in a services TOS it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed. Even if they expressly permit it, it's still illegal, and therefore not allowed.

I absolutely fucking beg you to use the brain you were given and stop embarrassing your parents who put time and energy into raising you.

This is correct. The binary is in a folder that is not in his path which is why he can't call the binary.

You're going to be very hard pressed in finding a VPN that supports torrenting. People abuse it. That's why mullvad pulled port forwarding support.

Additionally people misinterpret what they can do even if their VPN does support torrenting. It's still illegal to use their service to torrent anything other than legal torrents...which almost no one does, which is why VPN providers aren't lining up to show their support for the torrent network.

There are no services available to you that allow you indiscriminately to torrent illegal content. It's always illegal and against TOS to torrent someone elses IP.

The new service includes a WiFi 7 router

I don't recommend it.

I would shoot for a 4 port 2.5Gbe unmanaged switch with 2 SFP+ ports (6 total ports) for 10G networking. 2.5Gbe is going to be more than enough for any WiFi solution you choose with room to upgrade 10G to WiFi if you wanted to spend a bit more on a higher tier WiFi router still leaving a single SFP+ port for 10G networking from your PC.

Biggest hit for your buck. Gonna set you back $40-50.

but if I ever wanted to get the max out of it, what does that take?

Kind of a lot. At least a top to bottom upgrade, from modem (PON), to 10G networking, to new Ethernet cables, to new 10G network drivers. Looking at a few hundred if you do it right. I also had Optimum's 8Gbps internet and was never able to even get anywhere near advertised speeds due to network saturation. IMO, the upgrade right now is too expensive to justify the expense for what you get. If you were confident you would be able to max out the connection, that would be a different story. But ultimately it's gonna be up to you. If you don't mind dropping a few hundred on upgrades, then go nuts.

Martin Luther King Jr’s accomplishments are nearly wiped out

Troglodyte. With 2 replies you've proven to be one of the most ignorant people I've ever experienced in almost 30 years online. You deserve a fuckin' award.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

The motherfucker helped create the MMR vaccine... I would say he did do something. If you'd like to see somebody that's not do anything at all, look in the mirror you feckless ignoramus...

I mean Jesus Christ man. I don't think I've seen a comment this lacking in intelligence in my entire life. It would be like if somebody went to Martin Luther King Jr and said "well what are you doing about it!?" after he said that he was upset at the status quo.

It's just an unbelievably ignorant and moronic statement to make.... I can't even fully wrap my head around it--how you put absolutely zero forethought into that statement before making it.

I picture you as someone who drowns in the rain because they have their mouth open while they look up. Jesus Christ.

Then, anyone in the world can verify your signed statement using your public key.

Of course. The only barrier is the possession of your public key. I really don't understand what you're getting at here. Anyone with your public key can verify a PSK signed statement you made, which obviously is predicated on them having access to the key.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Anyone only has access to your public key if you give them access to your public key. So no, not really. They should have access to it. It's not something you should keep private, but SSH shared keys aren't PGP shared keys. There's no key servers for SSH shared keys.
