I use Usenet. I have for three decades now. It has changed much over the decades. But it is still by far the best method to obtain binaries for whatever content you seek.

 

If you are not already in with a good indexer, you have exactly zero change of getting in with them now. The trolls come in force and will continue attempting to destroy Usenet. And they will continue to fail because the good indexers are locked off and will not accept new members.

 

But there is an unwritten rule for Usenet. Basically if you use it, you do not tell anyone how you do.

first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club. 

 

 

Hey everyone

 

Just wondering what torrent sites everyone uses or even if you us Usenet

 

Currently using hd-space, alpharatio & torrentleech all 3 are decent private trackers. I use duckie tv for auto downloading that uses zooogle or rarbg. 

 

I have an account with sceneaccess, iptorrents, revolutiontt, and torrentleech and use a seedbox at seedboxes.cc with autodl-irssi.

 

but these days I can record most of the shows I watch from terrestrial ATSC broadcasts.

 

and because I have faster internet at home now I'll probably drop the seedbox when the subscription runs out and may or may not keep using the private trackers.  I sort of like not having to worry so much about ratio.  good thing is my buffer is large enough I shouldn't have to worry for a while.

 

Whats your ISP speed? Private trackers are good if you want content now but set up an auto system like to duckie doesn't matter if it takes a few hours runs while I am sleeping or at work.

120 down / 11 up  mbit/s  Since I run a linux VM I'd try to get rtorrent/rutorrent running with autodl-irssi.  If I can't do that then I'll look at duckie.  Never heard of it before.

Usenet - constant 1gbit speeds, no need for seeds - content always available, no need to upload anything, and no DMCA trolls.

Also from the technical point it is much easier and there are no hassle of port forwarding and other maintenance.

does one need an invite to the usenet you use?

the latest release does only use windows firewall in windows OS.  the latest experimental which should be released soon does not rely on windows firewall so it can be used with any setup.

If you have a DSL connection you should use 1492 in your router.  Otherwise 1500 should be used.

@germain85, Asus merlin openvpn client gui has an option for automatic firewall.  there's no need to have a script running for more firewall stuff.  and your port forwarding IP tables look correct.

so it seems you DO know how to configure your router.

See this thread:

I think you linked the wrong thread.

https://www.asus.com/support/faq/114093

http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/port-forwarding-on-asus-rc-ac66u/

assuming openvpn running on router have to use iptables like tomato and dd-wrt for TUN to LAN. the web GUI does WAN to LAN. 

if people are not running openvpn on router then we should discourage them from opening ports at all as it's a security hazard (correlation attack).

anyway, this question gets asked about every other day.  really tired of people not searching the forum.

 

Netflix is going to lose so many customers to this. I hope they make more content global. Think I might unsubscribe soon 

Anyway, does anyone use a DNS unblocker service? 

They make too much money to care about losing customers.

I don't know what you've heard.  I thought I read Netflix isn't doing so well.  This move to block VPN was one to please their masters (not the customers) and probably has and will hurt them.  But, they probably figure that's better than losing relationship with their masters.

the problem is people posting questions without searching the board first.  arrogant and negligent to think the question has never been asked before.

 

I haven't looked at the link in the OP but if network lock was used there should be no "leak" even during reconnection. 

 

Network lock is only for windows.

certainly not.  network lock works in linux using iptables.  I assume it uses iptables in OSX too.

 

qbittorrent is your server.

 

haha, I appreciate your patience. Well, yes I did have qbittorrent open. So, as a test I opened up Deluge (another torrent client) and lo and behold, it worked! But it seems a little strange to me, because I didn't configure Deluge to use my forwarded port. It's using a random port. I'll play around with it. One thing I'm noticing is that it isn't uploading anything - only downloading. Perhaps if I pick my forwarded port, then it will upload, as well. This is progress!

 

EDIT: I tried the TCP test again, with qbittorrent open, and it succeeded! And qbittorrent is working, as well! SUCCESS! (note, I didn't do anything different since my last post about the firewall rules. I just had to start a fresh torrent, and that seemed to help.) Thanks for your help!!

just be sure to disable NAT-PMP, UPNP in your torrent client.  Those work to open a port automatically which you don't need and don't work with your VPN setup.

is the server actually running and listening on the assigned port?

 

I have the openvpn client running in the router. But I didn't enable the "OpenVPN Server/Daemon" (which is the option directly above openvpn client in the router options).

 

In my experience prior to using a vpn, I would just forward a port on my router, and that was it. I didn't realize that I now need to be running a server, too.

qbittorrent is your server.

Huh, then I did that command correctly. I wonder what could still be preventing the port forward from working. Any troubleshooting advice?

is the server actually running and listening on the assigned port?

destination is the the LAN IP of the device that's running the server to which you're trying to forward port(s).  the port is the one that AirVPN assigns you in your client config section of this web site.

Hello,

 

ADSL usually (always ?) favours download stream to the upload. But with AirVPN things are getting even worse.

 

My ADSL line synchronizes (ISP) @ 1,4 MB/s down / 130 KB/s up

 

- Using my whole download bandwidth (1,4 MB/s) without VPN gives me 45 KB/s up 

 

- Using my whole download bandwidth (1,3 MB/s) with AirVPN gives 8 KB/s up  (almost 6 times less !!!)

 

This is very annoying when you're torrenting and you need to respect certain ratio.

 

I've installed the 9.9 TAP drivers 'cause they behave better on my machine. I've tried the 9.21.2 but I still get 6 times less upload speed while downloading at max speed.

 

AirVPN settings :

 

- Protocol "Automatic"

- Send buffer 64K

- Receive buffer 128K

- mssfix 1332

 

I've tried different buffer settings, with or without mssfix but it didn't change anything.

 

Do you know how I could achieve better upload speed with AirVPN ?

try different protocols and ports.  it's certainly not a theoretical or technological barrier with openvpn or AirVPN that's causing this

I'm using windows 10 but haven't worked to confirm this.

I do note that the connection carrying the data is supposedly contacting report port UDP53, so made to look like DNS.  Did i see that correctly?

as zhang says, many problems.  I hope I've never forced into using it.

but, openvpn supports ipv6.  some VPN providers are already using it.

so, shouldn't be a problem to transition if needed.

 

OK, I found it. Now I am getting scores for the US servers. Thanks.

 

I still wonder why the Canadian servers are better on speed.

Hello !

 

This is because geographic proximity doesn't guarantee greater speed, since your ISP might have better connections and/or deals with ISPs located in other countries. It's not because Air purposely makes some servers higher quality than others. But as is common with networking, there's many potential factors

 

Sent to you from me with datalove

This is true but has nothing to do with the topic in this thread.  Eddie scores based on the info it receives regarding the servers and your latency to each server.  But, Eddie has no way to know which server is actually faster for you.  That has to be tested by the user. 

I believe they configure Eddie in a manner so that by default USA users use Canadian servers.  I can't think of another reason why USA servers would get 0 stars with speed as the scoring rule.

Yeah, sorry about that.  I switched it back.  Here is the corresponding sort with latency.

your scoring rule is still at speed.  look at the bottom of the window.  change scoring rule to latency.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried that but still no scores for the US servers.  See image.  I am located in California.  This has forever been the case in Eddie, and I have been using AirVPN for about 3 years.

well, your image shows the scoring rule as speed still.  is that intended?
