Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

If you're using proton and your isp found out, something is configured wrong or working incorrectly. (or user error 😢)

Honestly, I've come to seriously dislike Proton. Yeah, it's cool they don't log any data, but they're starting the ai shit and their fucking UPGRADE NOW shit everywhere just because I use the free email (I have literally zero use for any of the paid features). It's commercializing and enshittifying rapidly.

I contacted Proton's support and everything was configured correctly. My ISP is Verizon (I don't have a choice) and they're the kind of fucks that would do deep packet sniffing, so I wouldn't be surprised if that's why.

They shouldn't be able to see anything except encrypted wireguard traffic. Are you sure all torrent-related traffic is going through the VPN (e.g. requests to indexers) and that traffic stops flowing when the VPN connection drops?

Yeah, it was the stand-alone app, not the browser extension. When it's on, everything goes through it.

Have you verified that? I would start by checking (with wireshark) for any non-wireguard traffic coming from your machine
