  You watch, two years from now, you’re going to need a license to get access to a commercial VPN anywhere, and they’ll start blocking Tor at the ISP level.

  They’ll bring back the service caps so small that you won’t be able to effectively torrent anything.

    Usenet doesn’t need VPN over SSL, just saying 🫣

      I used usenet since it was the only game in town. They’ll come for that door, too, eventually.

      I recently tried it again, and was disappointed to need to pay separately for service and reasonable indexers. It still suffers from the same issues it used to. It’s great for the scene, but older stuff is harder to find. Finding all the catchup episodes for a current show is hit or miss.

      I’m kind of hoping i2p bridges the gap for a bit. But if they truely make ISPs watchdog for piracy it’s not that hard to kick us off their network for suspected piracy.
