I have a RPi 5 running as a Tailscale exit node in my parent's house in a developing country. The said country does not care much about what people download. qbittorrent-nox makes it very easy to download stuff by just using my browser. Plus, I have access to local, region locked streaming content and very cheap Netflix subscription.

- grecy 2y agoMore importantly, Australia is to New Zealand what the US is to Canada. (Note: I'm Australian, been living in Canada for almost 20 years and only recently had someone explain that to me and suddenly it all made sense!)

- slyall 2y agoActually in New Zealand getting into trouble for downloading is fairly rare. The Studios and Music Companies lobbied and got a law passed but the ISPs managed to have the law include a small charge ($20 from memory) for each notice. So the Movie/TV people never bother sending any notices and the music people only rarely do it.

- veqq 2y agoHow much would you pay for that - compared to existing VPN solutions? You can find cloud hosts or server rentals in Bosnia, Colombia or wherever fairly easily.
- amatecha 2y agoYou can technically just get any ol' VPS and install the respective/relevant software on it. Just check that the VPS provider doesn't forbid torrenting/etc. in their ToS, I guess :)
- Ray20 2y ago>Just check that the VPS provider doesn't forbid torrenting/etc. in their ToS They almost always do. But many of them forbid only in tos, and not exactly do something about it
- giobox 2y agoI used to do this, but virtually all streaming sites etc block VPS IP ranges now. The beauty of OPs idea is that you get a nice domestic IP instead of one belonging to AWS/GCP/etc. I've also resorted to putting tailscale exit nodes in foreign relatives homes with Pis in the past. There are enough weird issues with pretending to be a domestic internet connection from a VPS IP that I've given up trying.
- fragmede 2y agoA service like that would be worth a premiumize amount
