What about "PFSense"? Can be implemented on Linux as either soft or hard firewall.

That's it! I'm getting myself a SPARC station and never mind the unencrypted peers! :cheers:

Any enablers here?

No one answered my question.

I'm verklemmt!

I've read that Ubuntu has supposedly been compromised, what with back doors and such like as it is the most popular Linux flavor.

As for "Webmin", I looked at it and will seriously keep it in mind when I move up to your level. 

Thanks for the info, Mazda. Sounds perfectly logical when one is maintaining the services you are.

Alas, I'm just a lowly but, somewhat savvy end user with an outlook towards maximum achievable security.

Granted, no setup can be 100% secure, esp. when dealing with Windows.  :afr2:

Have been considering moving to a Linux flavor such as Debian. Better yet, FreeBSD or, even better, an RTOS such as QNX (which is, sadly, no longer offered to end users). And it goes on…

Any suggestions? Would love to continue the dialogue! 

That's what I thought, Mazda. Doesn't hurt to check, though.

When raiding my vault, I try to cater to all pertinent tastes, even if my choices may be a bit "outré".

Now, the question is, who will snatch? Answer: Lesbians, gay/bi peeps, and trans-genders with an open mind and a taste for something out of the ordinary. And let's not forget Str8 peeps who may be around these parts.

A wicked sense of humor doesn't hurt, either.  >:D

With over 900K members here, someone should be game.

Maybe a survey is in order?

@MrMazda:

I use my own DNS servers
I own the actual servers that handle the requests.

Sounds like you're way ahead of the game, Mazda.

OK, I've used Opennic's servers in the past but, they're not my own - merely replacements for my provider's servers.

Can you please elaborate? I'm intrigued.

What's the consensus around these parts regarding the uploading of lesbian themed movies (non-porn)?

Maybe a dumb question that's been asked before but, a valid one, nonetheless.

I got some good shit, man!   >:D  :cum:

Kidding aside, I feel that some other than male oriented content would be beneficial.

And, no, I'm NOT a lesbian!

All things considered, I guess NFO files here are frivolous. This is not a "scene" hub.  ::)

Thanks for the responses, folks.
Sorry if I wasn't too clear
When I upload, I see that some peers/clients are encrypted and others are not. I can only presume that all connections are coming from other Gaytorrents members.
Seems reasonable for one to enforce the encryption feature in their client of choice.
The bottom line question was as to whether or not any traffic here might be visible to outside parties.
As for VPN, I have that option, but rarely use because it really slows things down and is often prone to DNS leaks.
BTW, I use the "Tixati" client which I find to be far superior to all the others (except maybe "Qbittorrent" and "rtorrent").
