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!
Why would you need file encryption?
Not like having a drive full of movies is illegal…Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted in case of loosing (or not depending if OP wants jail time).
then OP SHOULD go to jail.
Not like I don’t agree. Those vile people should.
But something like that or actually confidential stuff you don’t want others to see is a valid reason to encrypt it.
That escalated quickly
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.
