Yo ho me hearties,
I was reading through Servarr wiki’s VPN Guide and saw this callout:
For most users, secure DNS is sufficient instead of VPNs and fixes indexer connectivity issues without the complexity and problems of VPN setups
Are VPNs no longer the recommended practice? I was under the impression a VPN was pretty much required for sharing stuff in a copyright-sensitive country. I’d be delighted if I could simplify my app stack.
If the traffic is already encrypted, then it shouldn’t matter that your VPN provider can see it.
I agree about performance, but for my *arr stack it’s not something I care about too much since I’m never actively waiting on a download to complete.
