As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.

I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.
All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.
Proton also has a free tier, though I’m not sure how well P2P works on it.
Uh… What?
GPU you are converting from 265 to 264 and expecting smaller file sizes, but CPU you are going from 264 to 265?
If compression methods/codecs are equal, the hardware shouldn’t affect compression
You can seed without port forwarding
difficult and/or illegal.
I don’t think using a VPN gets you out of the illegal part, lol.
That was a rephrasing of the statement, not an answer to the question. He’s asking why it matters. What is the “good measure”?
What makes Debian a pain to use on servers?
I’m planning on doing this personally, as my setup is a bit complex (Protonvpn doesn’t have port forwarding on wireguard supported very well on Linux, so I have some helpers running that make it work). Setting this up each time (and on each computer I want to torrent on) is a bit of a pain. If you do all of your setup and dockerize it, you can just pull the container on each new install/machine (0 setup)
No need to split tunnel. Mullvad has options in the app to allow local networking. Just have to enable it.
Qbittorrent is actually one of the few clients that has this feature, one of the reasons it’s so widely recommended.
Deluge can also do this.
Ditto. You could also leave Jellyfin as your back end, and link it to Kodi for your front end (if it is just the UI you are bored of)
I was mostly just poking fun. Right now my media is only consumed at one location, so I primarily use Kodi on an Asus mini PC. I will likely keep Kodi as a client, and move to Jellyfin as a server in the future to allow for more clients.
EDIT: I understand downvoting my original tongue in cheek comment. Downvoting my response to someone’s follow up question is pretty odd though. Especially the guy signing in with multiple accounts to do so 🤨
Mostly just poking fun. It came off as an odd flex (laughing at people who choose to pay for media) while also repping software that has features locked behind a paid tier (a subscription, at that)
Lol using closed source apps with paid tiers hiding important features for media 🤣
If you’re happy with Racknerd, they have deals on LEB all the time. Right now, even
