Hey guys, i want to ask you all how you seed your torrents. I’m considering either using proxmox to create a seedbox or to build a dedicated machine with a vpn that will seedbox.

What VPN do you also use to seed? I have mullvad, for personal use but for seeding it doesn’t have port forwarding.

Thanks! :

So… and this is probably debatable, the point of a dedicated seed box is that there are a metric-shitton of other seed boxes on the local network (at the datacenter).

I’d argue the point of self hosting is to be able to set it up however you please. It sounds like you know what to do to be safe.

I use Mulvad for general VPN duty, though I can’t personally speak to its torrent support/speed I do see many recommend it in combination with a wireguard supporting container image. Spin a few up and let us know which ones you like and why.

I will definitely document it when I reach a decision about it all. That will hopefully help lots of people too later on, but at least i’ve already decided on the client and everything is configured there so that’s half the battle. I just wonder about recommendations around here, and absolutey i would self host it all!
