Sanity Check Setup - Lemmy

Just making sure I’m not missing something obvious: Self-hosted Linux VM with protonVPN and QBitorrent installed on it. QBittorrent networking bound only to ProtonVPN’s virtual interface with killswitch and secure core enabled. Auto updates enabled and a scripted alert system if ProtonVPN dies. Obviously everything with very secure unique passwords. Is this a safe setup to run 24/7 to torrent and seed with? Are there any significant risks I’m missing? Thanks, fellow sea salts!

I can’t speak to the paid ProtonVPN service, but their free tier doesn’t allow torrenting. They’ll disconnect you with a slap on the wrist error about it.
Seems fair TBH, you’re easily sending TBs of data through it, that’s not the intention of the free tier.
Yeah I found that out the hard way lol. Was just a soft warning. Primium tier allows P2P traffic and actually provides torrent-optimized servers too.
