So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.

Thanks

Could somebody complain to your ISP? Yes.

Is this likely to happen? No.

I've been using slsk for about 20 years, and I've never gotten a warning about it. If I start torrenting, I'll get a warning from my ISP tomorrow. I think that it's considered too obscure to be worth monitoring.

What is your secret to stand the literal neonazis there?

I'm not aware of any neo-Nazis (literal or otherwise). I don't spend any time in the chat rooms, though.

like half of the network is 4channers nazis. Sometimes you might stumble in neonazi material depending on the search terms.

Like I said, I've never ran into this, and I've been using it for about 20 years. Politics never comes up, because I'm almost never chatting with other users.
