Actually, now that its setup, its completely automated. “Renting” a movie is as easy as typing and and pressing request with overseer. As far as launching an app. I just turn on my smart tv and launch plex and BICKETY FUCKING BAM SLAM MAN my entire library shows up. Works fucking great and now I provide it to my entire family with no bullshit drama about password sharing, they each have their own accounts and everything. For those too lazy or stupid to figure it out, that is what streaming services are for.
I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don’t try that on any vps providers.
