FWIW, I’ve been using multiple private trackers over the past decade and have never, not even once, gotten a letter of doom from my ISP. I’m currently seeding probably over 1TB of shit on my UNRAID server to multiple private trackers as I type this. None of that is behind a VPN.

Now, public trackers are a whole other story, I always will use public trackers from behind a VPN. The couple times I have forgotten to download from behind a VPN using them I have gotten insta-emailed from my ISP to cut it out.

At that point why don’t you just play a pirated version on the game lol it seems like less of a hassle

+1 for connect. Very easy to set up and looks great.

I already pay for Apollo, I’d happily keep paying for Apollo for Lemmy, I’m sure tons of users would.
