I don’t really have a recommendation atm, I used to use mullvad but for torrenting I feel like the lack of port forwarding (once they removed that feature) 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.

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
