I have a router I’m running nord vpn but I use bitTorrent on windows and I’m looking to switch. Does anyone have a flavor of Linux and program they use?

Any advice would be helpful I’m getting nowhere on forums.

    I just run rtorrent with vopono/openvpn in a tmux sesession on a raspberry PI. It can be a bit of a pita getting utmp working though.

      OP didn’t ask for a VPN recommendation. Your post should be deleted like mine was because you recommended a VPN without OP asking for it.

      The mods are actively trying to censor information about free VPNs. There is no evidence to support their argument that RiseUp’s VPN service “is not meant for torrenting.” It’s complete bullshit and it needs to stop now.

      I don’t know much about them, and I doubt many of you do either. Here’s a quote from their “about us” that I guarantee the mods did not read:

      “We do this by providing communication and computer resources to allies engaged in struggles against capitalism and other forms of oppression.”

      Source: https://riseup.net/about-us

      Where are the lying mods getting this information that torrenting is a misuse of Riseup’s VPN? They must provide evidence to support this, or else there’s no getting around the fact that they are spreading misinformation.

      This is very suspicious and makes me want to get the message out even more!

        I didn’t mention a VPN service. Openvpn is a client/server application, not a service. Vopono is an application that let’s you tunnel a single application through a VPN.

        I also don’t disagree with the mod’s reasoning, so… have a nice day I guess.
