Hi people! I have been pirating for myself for over 30 years now, and with the ever growing size of warez and the laughable upstream limit my ISP has, i have come to the point where it's not practical to maintain a 1:1 ratio for all torrents anymore - my active torrent list keeps growing beyond practical limits, and i'm someone who wants to keep sharing things for the people after me, esp. torrents with low amounts of seeds.

I'm pretty sure that i know more than i think i do, but i would be happy about a few pointers to get started with a seedbox. i have beginner linux skills, advanced user skills, and not shy of reading manuals on how to get things to work. i have not tinkered with docker much yet, but i'm willing to learn.

Edit: From what i've learned and seen i tend towards an dedicated server since i might want to host other services for myself too, so suggestions for what hoster to look at are welcome!

I didn't think most of them allow port-forwarding

2 of those def do port forwarding (airvpn & proton) dunno about the other 2

Proton for sure does allow port forwarding

You're right, IVPN does not support port forwarding. The other three do.

Edit: IVPN seems to have removed port forwarding at the same time Mullvad did.

protonvpn does portforward, i am currently using it that way
