I installed Ubuntu in a VM to torrent with mulvad. I had to go to the command line. Worse was googling gave multiple contradictory instructions that further reading yielded "deprecated".

I made it work because I've been doing it for 30 years. Anyone else would be better with Windows where it just works.

you haven't been using torrents, Ubuntu, or VPNs for 30 years. why would you lie about that?

I've been using Linux for 30+ years so using a command line isn't a problem. In fact my experience is a problem because my goto commands and config files have all been deprecated.

For example I immediately tried ifconfig. You're probably too young to even know that command.

no... i still haven't figured out what i'm supposed to use instead.
