Working on completely replacing Spotify completely. Soulseek has popped up a few times here and there among forums and here on lemmy, so I thought I’d give that a go. I’ve started with getting Nicotine+ client and seems to be working fine. However, what does the traffic look like when downloading/uploading things over the Soulseek network? I read its peer-to-peer network, but does that mean I don’t need a VPN? I’m also told to open a port on my router, I’m assuming this is so that I can share my own library with the rest of the network, but how safe is this?
If anyone could help my clarify this I’d greatly appreciate it!
You can download a lot of music, very safely without anything. But maybe it could depend of your country. But if it’s a “okay” piracy country you shouldn’t any issues, even when sharing I’ve seen a lot of residential IPs
