I was wondering, which country’s exit nodes (VPN) do you use and why? Are some countries better than others (in terms of jurisdiction and laws, not latency)?

Look into Romania, Poland, Switzerland and Luxembourg. All good choices. Strong privacy laws and lenient copyright laws. Not part of 5, 9 or 14 eyes either.
blacklist: Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, hungary, iran, israel, japan, Italy, both Koreas, Malaysia, Mexico, Myanmar, Netherlands, New Zealand, Pakistan, Peru, Russia, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Syria, Ukraine, UAE, UK, USA, Yemen
I’d like to hear the reasoning behind this list.
i mainly choose countries with strong dmca laws, anti-piracy, and authoritian regimes that might have some global influence and actual internet infrastructure
- For piracy: Slavic countries
- They mostly don’t give a fuck about what you download. Just don’t share the stuff forward.
- AVOID THE US/UK AND DACH COUNTRIES AT ALL COSTS for this if you don’t want get DMCA letter.
- For privacy: Any country in the EU/EEA or Switzerland.
- Avoid the 5-eyes group (US/UK/Canada/Australia/New Zealand) whenever you can.
Also, set up Tailscale with cheap VPS’ to use as exit nodes.

That’s a no go in the P2P community. Leeching is bad for the whole network and for everyone else. Especially on public torrents.
Only if you’re talking about torrents. Most visual media can be easily found on Usenet, and there’s no such thing as leeching.
The only thing I ever use torrents for anymore is books, because the mouse site is so good. Never have had problems finding TV shows or movies on Usenet.
I meant that in a way that you are exposing too much with your collection.
Oh yeah so not bragging arround and/or exposing a public jellyfin/ember/plex instance?
Both.
use i2p for torrenting. torrenting slows down vpn services and tor
