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.
Also: VPN is only really needed for torrenting, and that’s not the only way to pirate stuff. Usenet is perfectly fine to use without a VPN, since it’s encrypted (TLS/SSL if you configure it right) and other parties can’t just join your P2P network to see what you’re doing.
