Oddbean new post about login | logout What client are you using? Are you using a search in the client to get around having an indexer?
I use nzbgeek as an indexer, thats hooked into prowlarr for search then I use sanzbd for my binary downloader.
Do you trust the SSL and logs or do you VPN everything?
Reading more about Usenet, apparently SSL is sufficient, but being the paranoid bastard that I am, I still run shit through VPN.
The way I read it is this. If you trust the services aren't IP logging, the SSL isn't getting hacked by any TLAs. If you don't trust them VPN keeps them from doxxing your IP.
Nzbgeek, vipernews, and sabnzbd. Just completed my first ever usenet DL. Something I wanted but couldn't find on torrent too. Thank you again for your help and answering questions.
