I have read some stuff about how if you are logged into like your google account while on your VPN you have pretty much given yourself away.
So first, is that accurate?
I just got a mullvad vpn and am using their browser. Created a new lemmy account. And I shut down my other browsers before connecting to the vpn to be on the safe side. Is that necessary? Anything else I need to do to sail the high seas anonymously and safely. I am looking to start finding all the movies that never seem to be on my many streaming services, but want to be safe about it. Thanks
In you case setting bind-address-ipv4 and bind-address-ipv6 to your VPN IPs should work. According to this under macOS settings are stored in $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.plist. Not sure if the format is the same tho and don’t forget that editing a plist on macOS isn’t just always just editing a text file, it might be encoded and cached by the system, do your research.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Very interesting! I’m running on Mac and I have a dedicated IP with my VPN, I bet I could do something similar. Thank you!
