Dang. Genuinely good service ruined by the abuse of csam promulgating fuckheads who deserve to rot for their evil
Oh is that why so many sites block me when I’m using Mullvad? Hopefully this does lead to it not being blacklisted anymore, I’m sick of having to turn it off to use the Regal app
Presumably that is the reason, yes. Mullvad’s really good service makes it a target for those who wish to host and distribute csam. This causes their IPs to be blacklisted or hosting providers to drop them.
But now the many cool legitimate uses (like piracy, hosting servers without exposing your own IP, punching through NAT where you don’t have control over the gateway, etc) are all ruined, too.
wait so i straight up cant use it for piracy anymore? i just paid for 6 months a week ago lmao
yes you can. if you never used port forwarding before (you’d know) nothing will change for you.
from what i’m reading you can still download but this makes it a lot harder to upload/seed. if you’re on a private tracker or really want to pay it forward with a good sharing ratio then this is no bueno
People on reddit are saying this is the end of mullvad, but I feel like that might just be the die hard torrenters talking. Question is how big a part of the user base they are.
:ooooooooooooooh:
