I haven't had any issues with public trackers on ultra.cc. I probably download about 100 or so public torrents a month, but that's not new release stuff that's likely to get a DMCA notice.

The VPN killswitch is not safe for bittorrent, it doesn't work fast enough. Binding the torrent client to the VPN interface is safe though.

Does the VPN/killswitch even really matter when your torrent client is in a seedbox I’m not sure. I was under the impression it wasn’t even possible in this case

No, you don't need a VPN if you're using a seedbox.

So like, the government doesn't subpoena the seedbox company to find out what you download?

If they did they'd have the harddisk anyways so VPN wouldn't stop anything.

Unless you get the dedicated server options (which are significantly more expensive), you wouldn't get to run your own encryption solutions to hide your entire disk from your seedbox provider anyways.

Gluetun and Deluge/qBittorrent using docker networking never failed me.

Here is an example running the arr stack.

(even though I’ve not had a leak in ten years) I don’t feel the old VPN/killswitch/public tracker thing is going to keep me safe enough.

Yes it's gonna keep you safe if you make sure to bind your VPN to your torrent client. It's safer than a kill switch.

I have good experiences with torbox, they have a webdav server you can use to transfer your downloaded files to your PC. Their most premium tier also gives you access to usenet, if that's of any interest for you.

If you care about your country’s laws why would you purchase a service subject to kyc laws in order to break your country’s laws in order to be on public trackers?

Just use a paid vpn with port forwarding like air or something and get on a private tracker for games. It’s easy, all it takes is consistency and organization. The sooner you start, the sooner you can finish.

No need for a seedbox if you only really care is downloading on public trackers. Another alternative is Real Debrid.
