It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

So I’ve rented a server for years. It’s in the US and it’s a couple bucks a month. It’s fun to play with and I use it however I want. I’ve had an email server, a next cloud instance, and an open VPN instance to name a few things on it. Well I decided to connect a torrent client from my home to the openvpn instance on my server to see if I could do it. It worked really well until the company I rent from forwarded the DMCA hit back to me for downloading Rick and Morty. I should’ve known better but I thought a nameless faceless server farm wouldn’t be worth the hassle of a DMCA but I was wrong.
you paid for that with an identity attached im guessing, i’m not really sure what else you expected to be honest.
whispers quietly in your ear: “Usenet”
Use…net? Buddy, we’re ALL using the net right now!
Lol, I’ve been on that train for a decade. I just wanted to try using my own personal VPN server to torrent which kinda defeats the purpose of a VPN I guess.
You chose the wrong provider lol
Pretty much all cloud providers monitor their servers for piracy and malware distribution/downloads.
True, but it wasn’t the cloud provider that caught it. They just forwarded the letter to me from the company that monitors torrent swarms and records IPs.
