Hi all!
Looking to get back into pirating more music. Torrent sites don’t have a large selection. Other options have poor quality.
I’ve been looking into alternatives like Soulseek, but can’t find how to bind that to VPN like I do with Qbit.
I’ve heard the risks are lower, but I’d still prefer to bind to VPN. I know from experience that kill switches are unreliable. Is this possible in soulseek or something similar (preferably OSS and with ok sound quality).
I’ve read the FAQ, megathread and done a search and didn’t find anything.
You can with “Nicotine+”, which is an alternative client for soulseek.
Nicotine+ has such a weird UI
Nicotine+ has the most efficient UI! I Hella like it
It is pretty much completely customizable in settings… Everything from button/bar placement to color. You can even completely remove items.
I use slskd connected to a VPN and it works great. I just run a gluetun container and then attach the slskd container to it with network mode service, same as you would connect transmission to gluetun.
you can bind to a specific interface in nicotine

Soulseek is amazing, it’s by far the most comprehensive music piracy tool I’ve used.

Yes! I have a machine where the whole system is going through a VPN and I run my SLSKD instance on it just fine.
I used it this week. Works great.
slsk never really stopped working for me and it still works like a charm.
