  • I personally use GL.iNet routers. Basically you create VPN tunnels between a WG(WireGuard) server hosted on one router, and WG clients hosted on another GL.iNet router or a device that supports the WG app (PC and mobile afaik). The router using the WG server is facing WAN so no need to port forward and you can use it to connect to your jellyfin server as well as RDP or SSH into your server. The WG clients are simple, just need to be connected to the Internet. The tunnels bandwidth is based on your ISP’s upload speed(fiber is great, with coax good luck streaming 4k) where the WG server is located. You can use WG without the router too, but I’ll just speak to my experience.

  • Piracy is more about preserving knowledge than sharing knowledge, after all, torrents are not really accessible for the majority of people. There’s a tech barrier plus in most places you want a VPN. Then you need decent bandwidth and a reliable connection. Private Trackers are all about preserving media. Maintaining healthy seeds is important, especially when it comes to media that is very niche or no longer in circulation, “legally”. Sites come and go, especially public trackers. Seeders also come and go. Private trackers last a lot longer, and have more dedicated seeders. It’s difficult and time consuming to be a dedicated seeder, and it’s much more rewarding to host your files on a private tracker than a public one.











  • I see, so apparently my phone won’t support it, no idea why, I’ve got a pixel5a on android13. It is rooted if that changes anything. This happened with another app I was recommended, but I just found an APK online, guess I’ll do the same with this one.

    Edit: Seems to be Google shenanigans:

    Starting from 1 Nov 2022, apps that don’t target an API level within two years of the latest Android release (API 29 and below) won’t be available to new users with devices running Android versions newer than your app’s target API level. This means that new users won’t be able to discover or install your app on Google Play
