DDL encrypted?

Post by Serijag »

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!

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 :)
