What are the best ways to start a home media server legally?
Ive been wanting to make my own home media server for a bit now along with doing some other things, but how do i do it can i use any tech device as a media server, do i buy a bunch of dvds and digitize them. what exactly are the steps that need to be taken?
You're viewing a single thread.
Truth be told, doing it legally will only make it harder and harder to get media. Mullvad VPN (https://mullvad.net ) is only 5€ (~5.4$) monthly and you can quite literally mail them the physical dollars to pay for the VPN if you don't have card.
Is Mullvad still a valid option with no port forwarding? I guess if you're only on public trackers and don't care about seeding it's probably fine.
You "can" run torrent without port forward, you get a lot less friction running with one, even on public.
privateinternetaccess has a handfull of nodes that allow port forward, they also have one in switzerland that allows socks proxy.
To add, running without portforward lowers the amount of discoverable peers quite a bit, which usually results in a much lower download speed.
yeah that's the why part of the friction
