So, my partner finally decided to get with on the trolley and start getting shit for free

Problem is, I've been out of the sailing game for a while, so I don't know what's good anymore and I figure y'all probably know what's gonna work best for us anyway

I'm sort of tech savvy, but anything on the less finicky side would probably be best

Thanks in advance, -Love, Flakes

Qbittorrent for your client. Make sure to go into settings, advanced, and then set the network interface to the one created by your VPN client.

This is better than a simple killswitch setup because there's no opportunity for connection failover to your real ip if the vpn connection breaks for whatever reason. If the VPN client isnt running in this setup no data in and no data out (no leaks).

Public trackers of note:

Easiest private tracker to get into that covers most of what you'll probably ever look for: TorrentLeech
