20220505: small update ive been experensing some issues with http://audiobookbay.ch/ which is really sad....

This is my writeup for my recommendations for Torrenting as of  20210509 and is subject to change [the torrent world moves fast :)],

Who is this article targeting?

This is for the mediumly paranoid:

which i define as, someone who :

• doesn't want viruses
• is slightly technically inclined
• already knows how to torrent

Who is this article NOT targeting?

People who:

• are under attack or servelance by nation states : see edward snowden
• Lives in a country with restricted with internet.   Ex: Russia

Torrent websites:

recommendations for visiting Safely

the web browser:

A) Brave + (recommended)

Download here:

https://brave.com/download/

Open then click

ALT + SHIFT + N

opens up a tor incognito mode window i find it easer to use than tor browser.

For a more detailed guide id recommend

How to use Tor with Brave browser | Tech Help Knowledgebase

B) Tor browser +

(good, but..... its firefox: so....to each her own)

for the die hard fans, more work IMO

Tor Project | Download

Browser Extenions:

Note i recommend these for every day web browsing. HIGHLY recommended for every user especially grandma's pc!

Ghostery: Here

not the same as add block, it blocks the hidden tracking scripts this plus add block is a killer combo

Last step!

Download the dam torrent!

when you download a torrent your isp can see what traffic goes over its network. Comcast and AT&T are notoious for this bullish.

How to avoid please stop torrenting letter from your isp

Use a VPN!

How to download your torrent though VPN?

Well dude, why not just use tor for everything?

well tor is anonymous from all of the internet, if you just care about your ISP (internet service provider aka my internet company) using a vpn will be your best bet for speed and ease of use.

Q: Well wisemonkey, what vpn do you recommend?

A: this is like arguing over whats the worlds text editor, it. cant. be. done....

BUT...

I can only recommend what ive used

(circa 2016 its been a while..) (20220505 yep its still good. and the cheepest longterm as of 20220505)

r/PrivateInternetAccess

Pros:

• was vaible on almost every platfrom i tried
• was cheap

Cons:

• cost money per month
• was slow on my network at the time (really shitty internet = bad expernce )
• b/c vpn will take a % of your network speed to be able to work thems the facts

OR... Roll your own:

Openvpn (advanced only for uber geeks with time on there hands)

GitHubpopcorn-official

pros:

• its 5 bucks amonth (your linux server cost)
• unlimited bandwith
