So I use a VPN when torrenting as per usual but with Soulseek I wish to share my music with others and that requires me to open a port. I have no problem doing so I just do not pay for a VPN that can do this at the current price I am paying. Is it possible/what are the chances of me getting in trouble ISP wise from using soulseek with no VPN. With where I live I would get in trouble with no VPN and torrents for clarity.
I see posts from years ago saying no just wondering if things have changed.
Thanks
Please explain the plex comment?
Some sauce for the hungry!

That’s more of a cautionary tale about running out-of-date software. A vpn wouldn’t have affected it at all, and it’s not especially relevant to OP’s question. It also doesn’t have anything to do with sharing content, not really relevant to your initial comment either.
While I appreciate your view, I have to disagree.
Becoming a sharer means more responsibilities, like keeping things up to date constantly. Get stuck in the hospital? Guess what? That new patch you automatically downloaded and applied? Turns out it opened up a new avenue and your IP address got hit by a random scan from some server hosting in Germany and was exploited to do xyz.
I’m all for self hosting, but not without serious warnings to new sysadmins. It’s just not for everyone, for one reason or another.
I think trying to deny or downplay that is negligent and harmful to what Lemmy and other self-hosting enthusiasts would want for their community/friends.
Then you’re mistaken. I was commenting on the link you shared, which was the result of a version of PMS that was 2.5 years out of date and has absolutely nothing to do with sharing.
Though, after reading the rest of your vague, rambling nonsense, I suspect you’re either some sort of bot or a moron. Not going to bother engaging with you further.
Considering your rude name calling and the fact that you totally skirted the crux of the issue by downplaying and muddying my argument, I too think we can end this one sided conversation.
Good luck with your chronic inability to conduct yourself in any manner short of rude, disrespectful, and condensing towards others of your own species.
Slsk is out of date
Got a link to the CVE?
what’s CVE?
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures, it’s a system for cataloging security issues. For instance, the vulnerability in Plex that caused the leak in the link above was CVE-2020-5741.
When I called the version of Plex out-of-date, it’s because it had an unpatched security vulnerability. Because you called Soulseek out of date, I’m asking you which vulnerability makes you say that.
No but the latest build is from 2018/19 probably there are exploits. I guess.
Your face is out of date!
