ProtonVPN has "Stream films, sports events, and videos on any streaming service (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, BBC iplayer etc)" in its description.

Torrhunt and Orion Torrent Client, both have the tag "netflix torrent".

[โ€“] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

TIL there is a tag "netflix torrent" which is a hillarious word

[โ€“] Daxtron2@startrek.website 10 points 3 weeks ago

Its just two separate words

[โ€“] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's also one of the few privacy-respecting VPNs that allow port forwarding

[โ€“] _g_be@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What's the benefit to that, if I've got it running workout that manually set and it works great?

[โ€“] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

In this case it's useful to torrent Linux ISOs without leaking your IP

[โ€“] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 36 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Somewhere in the description or reviews mentions netflix probably

It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.

[โ€“] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

Its crazy that they have a Flatpak though.

MullvadVPN wouldnt work because they do really privileged stuff to hook in your connection, block it on early boot etc. Your device is pretty much airgapped.

A flatpak cant do that.

[โ€“] Tyoda@lemm.ee 7 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Yeah. The protonvpn-gtk-app (or something like that) AUR package works fine, though. Really barebones but does the job.

[โ€“] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'd take a barebones but functional app over a one-bazillion-features but buggy and broken app any day of the week

Will check that out

[โ€“] sag@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What? It work for me flawlessly.

Doesn't exist anymore in the AUR

[โ€“] Voltage@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

it works perfectly well for me. im even posting this reply connected to protonvpn from AUR [garuda-linux]

[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It doesn't even exist anymore, you are probably using something old.

Except, it is.. Click on upstream link and first you see on the readme on github is this: copyright (c) 2023 Proton AG

[โ€“] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't that the majority of AUR?

[โ€“] unknowing8343@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Not really, most of the AUR points to the official source. And in this particular case, the actual Proton team was actually managing the AUR package.

[โ€“] Petter1@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly like this package. There is always a upstream link, this is it for proton: https://github.com/ProtonVPN/proton-vpn-gtk-app

Damn why no one told me about this??

[โ€“] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Neat, I've been using endevourOS as a secondary distro on my laptop (it's the only OS installed) for a few months now so I'm still learning lol.

[โ€“] Molten_Moron@lemmings.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Agreed, but I am glad they at least have the option to set it up through WireGuard.

chad flathub

[โ€“] fussganger@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks for torrhunt. I was looking for something like this.

[โ€“] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

LOL, what the fuck is this?

https://snapcraft.io/torrhunt

Note: Limited features after 30 days of evaluation period

It's also closed source, and the developer has like 30 of the most generic trash apps on the snapstore: https://snapcraft.io/publisher/keshavnrj. My advice would be to stay away from this. Looks shady as hell.

I guess the playstorification of flathub and the snapstore has begun.

[โ€“] Agility0971@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Odd that stremio is not on that list. It's superior to netflix

[โ€“] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

And qBittorrent

[โ€“] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 weeks ago

They know their priorities.
