Do you ever have any trouble blocking port 53? Do any services break?

I’ve used it for myself and family. The guy who made it was on reddit saying how ridiculously priced the alternative services were which is why he made easyoptouts.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.
Only when the artifacts in 4k look bad - like black squares on a black background due to compression. 1080p in that case is preferable.
There are certain esim providers that give you a number. Esimdb.com
This sub gets butthurt about paid services except for usenet.
Have you checked out stremio + real debrid? Have to have a computer connected but it works well and is dirt cheap.
I pay for IPTV and Emby services. This community will hate emby for not being FOSS but it has a better user experience than jellyfin IMO. There is not a great place to find them unfortunately.
Proton integrates directly with simplelogin. But you can use gmail for aliases with anonaddy or simplelogin, they just forward the alias emails to your real inbox.
It takes a little bit of effort but it’s a great time to do the following:
- get a password manager if you don’t have one already. I like 1password
- get an alias service. Proton bought simplelogin so it’s integrated, there’s also anonaddy
- gradually work through updating your online accounts from your old gmail to new aliases for each account (eg [email protected]) and set a complex password through your password manager that’s unique for each account
In a couple months you’ll eventually stop receiving emails to your gmail as you work through the accounts you use, and most incoming mail will all be through aliases. Then if you get spammed, you know what site leaked your email + you can turn off the alias and not get spam.
Paid plex + Emby shares. C/piracy can’t fathom paying $5-10/mo for a catalog of almost all media ever (and if it’s not there, request it) that works well on multiple platforms and has a high spouse approval factor but it’s fantastic.
