Seedbox needs VPN? (sh.itjust.works)

Do I need to use a VPN when torrenting with a Seedbox (especially giga-rapid and ultra.cc)?

Nah. Been using ultra.cc for years and I have no issues. They torrent it then I stream Plex from them.

No. The torrenting is happening on their servers, not yours.

However if you're still running torrent clients locally on your own internet/computer/laptop/whatever then yeah you may want a VPN for that. But that's for torrenting you're doing outside of your seedbox service.

May also want to try !seedboxes@lemmy.dbzer0.com

If your seedbox is local, then yes to hide from your ISP. From an offsite one, probably not.
