I use duckduckgo. It is Bing but with more privacy. You could try also searx, swisscows, startpage or qwant

For p2p it is better to use i2p, not tor

I recommend you to use ed2k/kad networks. You just have to start the client (emule, aMule or mldonkey) and share the folders. The first time you will need a server.met file, which contains the servers, the ipfilter.dat and also nodes.dat for the kad network.

I use wireguard in my case!

Telegram, syncthing or upload to your cloud (onedrive, google drive, dropbox, whatever you use) and sharing the link. If you are near your friend and both have android, use nearby (like airdrop but on android).

I just use jerboa it’s foss.

Adguard DNS at least they are good adblocking

A i2p or i2pd router

Or using i2p

You could use i2p for bittorrent, it is free, slower but secure.

I would say debian but as others said, are you on hopping distros? Do you have any problem with fedora 39?

yeah, but when you want your playlist downloaded for when you are traveling or offline…you could not. Well I prefer to pay 30€ yearly for convenience. Some others pay for a VPN or usenet provider, others like me, for spotify. However for movies and TV shows I never stopped sailing seas.

I was running in the past years 2 guard/middle relays, now I prefer only bridges and snowflake, to help users in a countries with censorship, like Iran or turkmenistan.

Better, because it is free and secure. And at same time you are torrenting, you are helping the network. But a downside, it is the speed and amount of peers you find is less compared to the clearnet. Also it is not the best option to surf the clearnet, tor is better at this.

Yes. It is better to use i2p for bittorrent. Now qbittorrent it is compatible.

Tor is for privacy and to circumvent censorship. What OP is asking is privacy…You could help them running a relay or bridge, it is easy, I have a few running.

I know you are asking for a VPN, but you could give a try i2p for bittorrent it is free and secure. And if you want just DDL, you have Tor.

Algorithm, pragmatism and easy of use. The time I would have to dedicate to it is worth more than what a family Spotify account costs me

This is the way

If you look on this plex support page, they say you need around 8000 passmark points, if I were you, I will look a cpu which a bare minimum of 10000 passmark points to be fine.
