    If you are worried about VPN’s, why are you not worried about seedbox providers?

      As he said, paid with crypto and managed with his own keys. I don’t see how the seedbox provider can trace you if you do that, so there’s not that much to worry about

        You’re going to connect to the seedbox at some point, which ties your IP to the traffic. If you are worried about a VPN attaching your IP to traffic, this is no different, no?

          SFTP over TOR. This should be a requirement at this point.

          If you’re not doing that, then yes you’re technically right in that seedbox companies can be subpoenaed too. I usually use TOR to copy over what little I torrent.

      I am not worried about my torrenting traffic. I am worried about installing their software on my machine and giving them wide access including port mirroring.
