Good afternoon all my fellow netizens. I have a question for y’all.

To preface this, I’m not the most tech savvy. I know a little about tech and I know the recommended “sailing techniques” but for more in-depth stuff I rely on those smarter than I.

So, for piracy how does a Trojan Proxy Server(like the ones anonymous-proxies offer) compare to a traditional VPN?

From my reading I know that the Trojan Proxy Server is harder to detect, and is able to be used in nations who actively target VPNs, like China. And it apparently hides behind the https so your data looks like normal web traffic (please correct me if I’m wrong or mistaken). So if correctly bound to a torrent client it should offer even greater protection and anonymity than a vpn.

Just curious for some input from tech people before I make mistakes. Especially if the US continues to go down this authoritarian road I’d like a back up in case they target vpns

    Would you like a guide I made? I tried making it as simple as can be I’d like some criticism if you can.

      I would LOVE a guide! And if you’re looking for a laypersons input you got it. Again I know how to use tech but I’m not a tech-priest type

        Heres my website I have a hard time writing and remembering stuff I’m pretty sure I have dyslexia or something anyways if you followed it perfectly and something doesn’t work it’s probably my fault so inform me and I’ll correct it.

        Sidenote this has no information about actuallt connecting to the server only creating it.

        If you get everything running I can send you a .json template that you’ll need to edit yourself, I can tell you how to connect to your server but it’ll be a standard socks proxy connection not to a torrent client like you want.
