My previous #VPN subscription is about to expire. Looking for suggestions for a new one. My main requirements is that it allows torrent traffic without questions, and that supports OpenVPN / IPSec natively on Linux without the need for stupid "apps."

I'm agnostic about the method of payment: I'm OK with CC. Any suggestions? You may reply with your affiliate links, I'm alright with that.

Before repeating the instruction.

ngl hearing this still gives me the thrills. So in a way I'm glad I didn't do it back then, otherwise it would've gotten stale pretty quickly.
Thank you *very* much! Now my #OpenNIC DNS will persist again... like it was back in 2016
