WeAreAllOne, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

Check out windscribe, they have port forwarding. Proton is great too. If you’re on windows setting up port forwarding with their app is a breeze vs Linux which they are developing better at current.

I'm currently having a dumb issue if you'd happen to have some insight. I have windscribe. I'm using linux (debian). I installed the Windscribe package from the site and I have the same GUI I'm used to from Windows.

When I connect to my static IP, my ethernet IP doesn't change.

How do I ensure that I'm on my static IP in Linux so that I can actually use port-forwarding? Because at the moment I cannot turn on my VPN and have Plex, Overseer, any containers accessible outside my network. I can only see them on localhost. Eventually I'd like to get a domain redirect, but that's a separate issue that will be easier once I have a solid answer on getting my VPN always on and split tunneling in it set up properly.

I'm losing my shit here cause I can't find anything about this dumb problem online and it's such a simple thing that I'm used to just working lol.

Leaving that for posterity. I reread your comment. Their Linux app so looks to be parity equivalent with Windows, I believe both use your account online to set up port forwarding. However CLI Windscribe I believe is missing the option. But in any case, what you said my be related to the issue I'm having.

Anyway, fully +1 on Windscribe. I've been using them for years and they've always been quite to respond, transparent with what they've been served, and were active online on forums. Used a +50 code for quite some time and finally wanted unlimited and port-forwarding so I bought a sub and a static IP. Seems well priced as well, I'm paying about $25/year I think.

DivisionResult,

About tour técnical problem.

Just setup staticip un /etc/network/interfaces.

Search thatpath and static there is a lot of material about it.

I did do that but then my global connection to Plex stopped working entirely and localhost stopped working as well. Granted, I hadn't set it up to the VPN's IP yet!

I'll keep this in mind for the next run, thank you so much!

DivisionResult,

Nice you to know its running. :)

xilliah, w For a copy of Photoshop on macOS Is it current possibly to get generative fill working?

FYI Krita and Gimp should have plugins for that.

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

Krita does a decent job but for my workflows I definitely want the Photoshop plugin.

I would imagine MacOS has a harder time with generative fill, you'd be using Adobe's and not Stable Diffusion (which I'm pretty sure if what these non-Adobe plugins all run from).

I mean, if there's a way to get a stable diffusion server running for you and then you... no I had to look it up, I think this looks like your best bet and even then... I'm not sure

It’s slim pickings now if you need port forwarding. The vpns with the best privacy practices have left it behind. Windscribe has the best policies while retaining forwarding at the moment imo. You have to pay extra though unfortunately…

DonnieDarkmode,

Ah damn. From what I understand, that lack of port forwarding is what’s hurting my download speeds on torrents. Windscribe wasn’t on my radar though, I’ll check it out

ItsaB3AR, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

Been using proton for torrenting and other use, it’s been great. Connect to Switzerland from USA with good speed and security. I use them for email so I got a good package deal.

I use PIA because it’s cheap as dirt. I don’t use their client and I have it setup so exclusively my torrent client uses it. It works for my use case because I’m pretty much just trying to avoid nasty letters from my ISP. I wouldn’t trust them with any of my regular traffic because they’re sketchy and there’s got to be a reason they’re so cheap.

Although I would consider what your usecase for a VPN is - ie what attack vectors are you trying to protect against when using it for regular traffic? There’s arguably very little a VPN does to protect you on public WiFi and also opens you up to new risks

DonnieDarkmode,

Well my hope was that it would protect against things like packet sniffing and in case I connect to an evil twin (if I’m using that term correctly). But I’ll be the first to admit my knowledge there is incredibly limited, and I wasn’t aware that it would actually create new vulnerabilities. Would you be able to explain a bit?

Scrof, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

I use MullvadVPN and have no issues. In fact you can even pay for it anonymously and it has a cute mole for mascot.

DreadPotato,

Doesn’t have port forwarding anymore though

    Of course it isn’t, but OP mentioned it and mullvad doesn’t support it.

    JelloBrains, w Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem
    @JelloBrains@kbin.social avatar

    You don't mention how they read these books, is it a Kindle e-ink device, a Fire Tablet, or some other way? I ask because the shitification has started, they have a new file format they deliver to devices that are capable of KFX. That's anything made after the 1st Paperwhite e-ink Kindle. The new KFX file is not crackable with current NoDRM/DeDRM tools that can be found on GitHub.

    As for FOSS, Koreader can be found on github and is installable on most Kobo devices as well as Remarkable devices if going with e-ink, and can be installed on android devices through F-Droid or manual install. Always read the install instructions to make sure you understand the install procedure on e-ink devices.

    DaCrazyJamez,

    Currently android tablet with kindle app. Uses windows desktop to organize library (which the latest update forces you to do via cloud)

    I'll send you to an older post, here.

    It's a hassle, but it works mostly, unless it's textbooks or books made for the Indian market. Mobile read has info about the changes, here and here.

    It basically involves installing an android emulator to windows and using old Kindle for Android apps as the workaround, but Amazon can stop that whenever they feel like it.

    exu,

    KFX up to Kindle for PC 1.26 can be converted with the KFX input plugin.

    CTdummy, w Having a hard time settling on a VPN

    I’ll see if I bookmarked it but there was a site with a bunch of VPNs listed with their privacy/functionality compared. Using it as a reference I ended up on Mullvad VPN. Super simple set up for the basic stuff with some more functionality under the hood if you need. iOS and windows app for quick set up too. My experience with them has been only positive so far.

    theangriestbird, (edited )

    Idk if this was the article you were thinking of, but I used this article from torrentfreak and also settled on Mullvad. I’ve been subscribed for years, they’re great and pretty cheap.

    Edit: I reread your post and realized that you’re looking for a VPN with port forwarding. Frankly, I trust Mullvad enough at this point that if they removed port forwarding as a feature, then I assume that feature is probably just a bad idea for VPNs in general.

    wolfshadowheart,
    @wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

    I need a VPN with port forwarding because I want to host game servers behind a CG/NAT. So there's at least one reason why they should still be featured.

    DogMuffins,

    I think hosting something and wanting inbound traffic through a VPN is a pretty unusual use case.

    DonnieDarkmode, w 5th Edition D&D books?

    This is from the community on Reddit. You should be able to grab the torrent file for whichever 5e book you want from there. I would also recommend 5e . tools like the other commenters, even as just a separate reference; as a DM I’ve found it way easier to pull things up quickly, even if I legally own the book that has whatever spell/mob I’m looking for haha.

    dream_weasel, w Trying to download/export, and convert 1000ish kindle books to get out of amzns ecosystem

    Is there a good FOSS e-reader platform? I was considering moving from nook TO kindle, but now you’re giving me pause.

    refurbishedrefurbisher,

    PineNote is one of the only ones I can think of with an e-ink display.

    fmstrat,

    KOReader. Even runs on jailbroken Kindles

    This sound like a job for Calibre. I don’t know exactly how to do it though.

    Looks like there’s a plugin you can use
