Which free VPNs are supported by gluetun? (feddit.it)

I want to try bitmagnet on the dev server at work (yes, we have permission to use it for personal reasons as long it's legal) but for obvious reasons it must be tunneled through a VPN.

Bitmagnet it's a local search engine that discovers content via DHT. It just asks peers for content, then when you come back the following month it should have found many interesting stuff

Problem is that from a network point of view it looks I want to download every single torrent ever made so I wouldn't want to have my workplace ip address associated with that.

Because the network traffic is minimal and for this content I don't care if the provider does data mining, I would like to use a free VPN with gluetun.

But I can't find a free one that works. From the officially supported only windscribe and proton have a free offer, but windscribe free doesn't have OpenVPN or wireguard, while proton VPN free blocks me immediately as soon as the program talks with other peers, even if I don't actually download anything.

So back to the question, which free VPNs are working with gluetun, someone has experience with that?

If you have a rooted phone you can extract Windscribe wireguard config file even on free plan. Data directory.

wd.vp is the wireguard config file.

Don't listen to soy nerds being akshually this is a bad idea. Do what you want.

That said,

Be careful with DHT scrapers though. Those things will find much more illegal stuff than pirated stuff, I'm talking about CSAM, even if you don't download it even having the magnet could be illegal.

Do you know if Windscribe enforces the free plan bandwidth limit server-side if using the wireguard config?

I would imagine so, since the windscribe app still just uses wireguard/openvpn under the hood. so it most likely is enforced server side
