So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.
Thanks
“Need” no, but I would. I don’t like exposing my real IP to peers, idk them, and my ISP doesn’t need to know a GODDAMN thing.
Tailscale has the Funnel feature that doesn’t require an open port (well, it’s a UPnP port), and maintains an encrypted tunnel to your music server for anyone you decide to share it with.
Alternatively you could get as many of your friends to use Tailscale itself to minimize the need for the Funnel feature (so anyone you know get them using TS, for the general sharing let it happen via Funnel).
Tailscale is free, and easy to setup.
Definitely looking into tailscale thanks for this.
Edit: Did not solve original problem but was the solution to other things I have been doing. Unless I am mistaken I can not use the funnel feature to open ports the way that is needed.
This is awesome, do you happen to know a tutorial for this? I have tried google but only some youtube videos that are worst than nothing
using it in Germany without VPN since ages and never got a letter from anyone :)
I would recommend using a VPN. Since it is p2p, theres a non zero chance that you might get in trouble. Some ISPs don’t care and will only act if DMCAed.
jeez, soul seek? how about limewire or napster or telegram lol
Bro, don’t crap on SoulSeek. Music collectors all over the world use it. You can find some rare gems on there you won’t find in Spotify, Tidal, YouTube or any other music platform.
And comparing it to limewire is kind of unfair.
Honestly I was sleeping on soulseek for a while it is a great source of music.
Who is crapping on anything? I just haven’t heard of SoulSeek since the days of Limewire. longer even
