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.

    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!
