Hey!
I'm wondering how exactly DDL downloads work and if I should have it going through a VPN or if it's already secure\encrypted?
Thanks!
DDL encrypted?

Re: DDL encrypted?
The DDL option downloads directly from the getcomics website using the https protocol. So in that sense, it's encrypted from Mylar to the website.
If you wanted, I don't see why you can't point any traffic going/coming from the getcomics url thru your VPN. It shouldn't affect Mylar's downloads (altho if I recall correctly, the site that getcomics uses to serve out the comics is thru a redirect to another site once the download url is invoked). That being said, I've never tested such a scenario so I have no idea what would happen.

Awesome, that's what I was wondering.
I'm using the docker in unRAID so I'll have to figure out how to get that to go through a VM running PIA. I'll do some testing around now that I know for sure how it's downloaded.
Thanks for the info!! Appreciate all the work you do
