I want to try bitmagnet on the dev server at work (yes, we have permission to use it for personal reasons as long it’s legal) but for obvious reasons it must be tunneled through a VPN.
Bitmagnet it’s a local search engine that discovers content via DHT. It just asks peers for content, then when you come back the following month it should have found many interesting stuff
Problem is that from a network point of view it looks I want to download every single torrent ever made so I wouldn’t want to have my workplace ip address associated with that.
Because the network traffic is minimal and for this content I don’t care if the provider does data mining, I would like to use a free VPN with gluetun.
But I can’t find a free one that works. From the officially supported only windscribe and proton have a free offer, but windscribe free doesn’t have OpenVPN or wireguard, while proton VPN free blocks me immediately as soon as the program talks with other peers, even if I don’t actually download anything.
So back to the question, which free VPNs are working with gluetun, someone has experience with that?
As much as I believe we should take as much advantage of our employers as they do they’re employees. Its important to remember that you’d be handing them a legally sound reason to fire you.
Proton VPN, mullvad VPN while they’re not free they’re reasonable and your in employment, think of it as an investment as you can have 5 systems on one account (mullvad no sure of proton)
