I was wondering, which country’s exit nodes (VPN) do you use and why? Are some countries better than others (in terms of jurisdiction and laws, not latency)?

    • For piracy: Slavic countries
      • They mostly don’t give a fuck about what you download. Just don’t share the stuff forward.
      • AVOID THE US/UK AND DACH COUNTRIES AT ALL COSTS for this if you don’t want get DMCA letter.
    • For privacy: Any country in the EU/EEA or Switzerland.
      • Avoid the 5-eyes group (US/UK/Canada/Australia/New Zealand) whenever you can.

    Also, set up Tailscale with cheap VPS’ to use as exit nodes.

      That’s a no go in the P2P community. Leeching is bad for the whole network and for everyone else. Especially on public torrents.

        I meant that in a way that you are exposing too much with your collection.

      No one is coming after your seeding in South America, except maybe Chile with its unusually close relationship with the U.S. Just saying.
