Yo ho me hearties,

I was reading through Servarr wiki’s VPN Guide and saw this callout:

For most users, secure DNS is sufficient instead of VPNs and fixes indexer connectivity issues without the complexity and problems of VPN setups

Are VPNs no longer the recommended practice? I was under the impression a VPN was pretty much required for sharing stuff in a copyright-sensitive country. I’d be delighted if I could simplify my app stack.

    As far as I know the arr suite tools do not download things. They scour publicly available pages for torrent links and meta data, so they don’t really need to be behind a VPN. The download client it all ends in should definitely be behind a VPN though
