I have a home server running docker. I have a docker container for Gluetun and qBittorrent. Gluetun connects to my VPN provider and provides a tunnel interface for the BitTorrent client to use
You typically don’t need any of that stuff besides a VPN. Just make sure to set your torrent client to bind to the VPN interface and you’ll be good to go.
In my country they need to be able to prove who sat at the computer and did the sailing. If I ever get that famous extortion letter sent home to me I will use it as toilet paper.
Also, Meta got away with pirating terabyte of books so as far as I am concerned it’s completely legal in the eyes of US authorities to sail the high seas.
There’s regular updates to the best one so you may have to do a web search to find some privacy community/subreddit that has a comparison chart of some sort.
Last I looked Proton was popular, but I never trusted them because they seem like they want to be google. I went with Mulvad, which is a great VPN but one of the CEOs just came out as donating to nazis so I don’t even know any more.
Just like that? I’m way behind on the tech and it’s always been spooky to me. Any good reference for getting started/picking services?
I personally use AirVPN as they allow port forwarding, but I also use my NAS as a seed box.
Docker -> Gluetun + qBittorrent
You went a lityle over my head there but I would appreciate an explaination of what you’re talking about.

Awesome thanks for actually doing that. I’m still a ways away from fully grasping some of this stuff but that does help temendously.

If you wanna look more into that stuff, “TechHut” on YouTube has some good videos on it
VPN is a must these days

Yeah, that’s how I do it. Download the the VPN app (Mullvad for me), buy some time on your account, switch it on, and carry on just like before.
Easy to set up and I’ve never had a problem.
