  • Nooooo…that’s not what I’m saying.

    I’m seriously not trying to be rude here, but I went and read the rest of the thread just now. Your understanding of processes, networks and VPNs is wildly misinformed. I think you need to spend some time learning about each before you go and dismiss what everyone is telling you here, which is that you’re trying to make an overcomplicated and very inefficient VPN right now.

    Running a torrent client through a proxy doesn’t isolated a process. Especially not when you’re pushing the traffic through a local proxy. You also don’t need to forward any ports.

    Connect to the VPN, make sure your traffic is routing there properly, and you’re done. OR, you really want a proxy, you setup a proxy. You don’t need both, and neither gains you any security. If you’re concerned about process isolation, that’s a whole other thing you should read up on.











  • I personally don’t find that many people are approaching me saying something like “Hey, you should be into this thing because it’s to your benefit”. That’s what insane US Christians do.

    If someone mentioned a concern they were having with publicly available services, and I happened to have a self-hosted version of an alternative ready to discuss, sure.

    By no means would I ever be out there trying to tell people “THIS IS BETTER. DONT YOU GET IT???”, which is where you sound like you’re coming from. It’s also not a “hobby” and it takes a lot of skill and effort to not take an INSANE amount of time for people who aren’t familiar. If you want to be tech support for a bunch of people, sure, go for it.

    Totally unnecessary though.
