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!

      Holy shit yeah lol. Obviously nothing like that! I was confused as well why anything other than the generic Linux full disk encryption would be needed.

      This would be in a server closet, so not on drives that I would be transporting copyrighted media into other countries anyways.
