As you may read elsewhere, Mullvad and ProtonVPN are the go-to for many people. But what Linux distro are you running? both of them don’t have an OFFICIAL client for Arch, you can install them from the AUR though but I read the from proton rep in reddit that they don’t recommend these packages as they’re handled by the community.
Afaik the answer is No. But it would be better to get the answer from someone who lives in a country where their laws are more strict than mine because in here no one cares if I torrent with or without a VPN
Btw there’s an other easier choice, which ppl usually downvote me for saying, and go with a “managed seedbox”. The idea is they provide you with the seedbox, aka a shared VPS, and an easy control panel to install, update, and repair apps such as the ones I mentioned. You download all of your stuff and store them in that seedbox and directly stream from it without worrying about affecting your home bandwidth.
I usually suggest Ultraseedbox for first timers, their prices start at $16/month for 3TB storage (don’t go with the cheaper plans they don’t support plex), and their support are helpful compared to other providers.
What devices are you watching on? Are you sharing the server with novice people? or its just you?
For me my setup consist of two servers, I run a jellyfin server for me because its much better to watch on the browser, and I have MPV Shim on my pc, and in my living room I use Infuse so it doesn’t matter which server I use.
But I noticed that family members were annoyed trying to set everything up on their end because its no as seamless as plex, so I just installed a plex server on top of that where I share it with others.
Scanning new files on both servers was easy using Autoscan. Click here for a youtube guide
I believe these two, with emby which I really hate, are your only option.
Install Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr and you’re good to go, IBRACORP has good guides on how to install and configure these apps.
It might sound “too much of a hassle” at first, but if you want an easy to maintain and configurable setup, I’d suggest going through with this route.
am I the only one who doesn’t like these kind of posts where they share an outside link? I mean if I wanted to read posts from somewhere else I’d just install an RSS feed to get all the topics im intrested at.
I hope this lemmy doesn’t get same crappy posts as the subreddit 😫
You can keep it, they won’t work without an active sub. just like a Netflix subscription you can keep ur account after sub expires but this doesn’t mean you can access their service.
If the game is not cracked yet then you just have to pay for the subscription until you’re done with the game because there is no other solution
You didn’t specify though which system you’re using. I believe for every app there is a guide on how to install it on Windows if you’re using that. For *arr apps I think its like installing any other app, and youtube is filled with guides on how to install them on Windows. For rdt-client there’s a guide on their repo if you don’t want to use docker: https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client?tab=readme-ov-file#windows-service
