If you're not using the haugene/transmission docker image, you're doing the VPN wrong. There was a period of like 3-5 years on reddit where every other post in some of these subs was "my vpn shut down but the torrents kept torrenting and now I'm getting nasty letters from my ISP, why didn't the killswitch work!?!?!"
That's because a killswitch is a dumb idea. It's bad software written badly for a consumer operating system, but the job you were asking it to do was as critical as any control process some esoteric barebones RTOS wouldn't have been perfectly trusted to do.
I don't say this because I'm some genius... I'm saying that I'm the dumbass who learned these things slowly, over years, by fucking it up over and over.
> Pirate streaming sites are still out there.
This may be in the same universe as "piracy", but even so the light from real "piracy" will never reach it, it is that far away.
I use a seedbox and SFTP transfer to my home, so moot, in my case, at least.
The VPN was just an example of the lowered technical requirements to enter the space.
Seedboxes are even easier, albeit less well known.
The point is when there is a will, there will always be a way. As things progress, more and more people will start looking into other options, like piracy and the barrier is lower than it was in the Usenet days, for example.
