Windscribe has split tunneling and port forwarding, but doesn’t directly host SOCKS5. You can however run a SOCKS server locally and the WS app will route if set up. https://windscribe.com/knowledge-base/articles/why-was-socks5-discontinued/
True story I actually meant to switch to .zip and I had both it and dbzer0 open in tabs for a few days (deciding between them) and on d-day for .ee I opened one and signed in and did the verification… and then realized where I was. And actually I’m happy with my accidental choice. It’s rad here.
Confirm is ded. I moved from there. RIP.
Yeah I’m aware of that thread and participated in it at the time. I personally torrent on WS and I know lots of people do. I recommended it here because OP didn’t specify that they wanted to run a seedbox like that person in the thread you refer to was doing. If you keep it casual they’ll never notice you, afaict. WS is one of the few left that offer port forwarding is all I know for sure, which was what OP was asking about.
Having said that WS could’ve handled that shit better. I haven’t heard much since then.
