shhhhhhshshsh sh sh. Let them. Let them take their stupid fucking infrastructure disasters up into stupid space. this seems like a profitable outcome for everyone 👀 there are lots of reasons to do it

oh daaammn. literally just found out this exists and then they go all perforated. that would be some of the worst personal data to lose

you’re living it baybeee

yeah in retrospect that was probably pretty harsh. there’s probably a lot of moderators I interacted with that I just didn’t even realize were chill. also, good on you. 😁👍

I never met one on reddit who wasn’t just getting off on the power trip. I think the nature of that role just draws a certain type who wants to do a specific thing

yeah and they’re built from crawling reddit and facebook

Thank you for taking the time writing all this up for me. That makes me glad I asked because most info I was finding with google-foo was telling me to set up port forwarding the old way with my router and not really doing a good job of laying out how and why it works to begin with. After having switched from Tribbler to a client that has uPNP, now I think I understand why I’m struggling with it less. I’m unsure if my Soulseek is connected and sending data right but this gives me some better ideas of how to find out.

I’ve been trying to understand port forwarding since I keep seeing that I need to set it up for my torrent client to work reliably. But I read that it sends your traffic “outside” of your VPN encryption. Doesn’t it kind of defeat the purpose or am I understanding it wrong?
