Currently I’m using a VPS on Hertzer hosted in Singapore. I might try to torrent movies and games or maybe download videos in bulk using yt-dlp from youtube or maybe even porn. I want to know if its a good idea or should I use a paid vpn inside my VPS. If there is a better alternative like another VPS provider who ignores DMCA notices and stuff, do suggest. I also sync some folders using syncthing. So its kind of a mixed use. I don’t know much about networking and stuff, so hopefully nothing too complicated.Thanks in advance.

    Better to use something like ultra.cc. Their Tank Streaming or App Vault plans are what you should look at.

      That does look interesting. The basic plans say no Plex server, does that mean no torrenting as well? I usually use transmission or qbittorrenr.

        They are all for torrenting. They just don’t want you running anything that uses a lot of CPU power like transcoding videos.

          What about port forwarding/IP address. They say you get upload but are you connectable?

              I’m joining in because I’ve used Ultra for about a year and everything has been fantastic. Fast amazing support as well!
