So i recently setup home server with qbittorrent+gluetun, i have surfshark so i can select any country from the server list. Im wondering which ones would have least tracker blocking?

Cuz I have noticed that many torrents have trackers that are blocked when a EU country is selected. Should I set Russia as the default? Anybody have experience in this?

IRC the Netherlands and Belgium it's also not a crime, you won't be pursued by the authorities.

However, that doesn't stop rights-holders from suing you for damages.

In any case, if you're using a VPN and privacy conscious you should be fine.

This being said, I really should switch to linux.
