He is horny 😂

I was asking the same question a year ago and now Im running 30-40 services, all available remotely using VPN.

Everyone is talking about tailscale and how easy it is to setup (never tried it), but I went for pure wireguard VPN and IMO its not complicated at all. I have 3 devices with access to VPN, but I also use reverse proxy NPM (+ pihole as DNS server) just to be able to use custom domain like nextcloud.example instead of typing IP:PORT. I dont feel comfortable with opening ports to public, but had 0 issues with wireguard port opened (so far).

Just giving you an example, other people here might have better advices

In my country pi4 8GB ram with PSU 130€ and then you need SD card and/or SSD

Your cpu supports quick sync so I bet you are good without gpu. Try it yourself before buying one, you also drain less power

Casual users dont get on private trackers hehe. Joking, some guys were posting site that tracks when private trackers have open invites, hope someone will link again. Some trackers are almost impossible to join or keep up with their rules, but like torrentleech should be easy enough. Ive never used usenet since Im on private trackers for years, but I bet someone can recommend one here.

You can look for older redit posts about recommendation for both, but first decide what contet you are aiming for. Some trackers are just for movies, some are focused on music, but there are also general purpose trackers like torrentleech.

I went for wireguard VPN instead of exposing services. Its much more safe afaik, but you have to configure each device you want to give access (aka scanning QR code). You also dont need to buy a domain for that. Exposed services would be easier to use, especially if you want to use it on many devices

Private trackers I seed until Im running out of storage, public ones up to 1.2 ratio.

I used to upload some content, but dont have anything thats not already available anymore.

I did some donations to our fellow pirates tho

Better then pay for usenet instead of VPN. Not sure is 0% enough to protect yourself

Thx for sharing, looks awesome

Im using npm with letsenrypt for local network only, but couldnt find a way to use pihole gui without /admin. So I have bookmarked pihole.domain/admin

Try another tracker like 1337x or even better try to get in some private trackers. Alternatively get usenet (paid service)

Thx!

Pihole + firefox + ublock for adds here. Im not using this, but its also possible to set your home server connect to VPN provider and then route all traffic through that. Then you can use your selfhosted VPN to connect with phone and use both at the same time. Or just enable add blocking on your VPN provider, I guess most of them have one

Same here, but its called gluetun 😉 it supports most VPN providers

Thx, this looks promising. Gonna try to get in

I vote for homepage

Thx for sharing!

OP be careful nobug warned you that your home IP can maybe leak if something happens like VPN disconnect or server crapping out. Btw if you are using torrents you are not only downloading, you are also uploading and sharing the content.

I checked the guide, and its a shame you didnt make it before I was building my arr setup. Thx for sharing

I believe you can just set vpn in qbittorrent, but Im not sure is it acting like real kill-switch or you are risking your home IP leak. So not recommended probably. If you go recommended docker way, you can do it easily with gluetun. There must be many other options out there, but be careful, not all of them are acting like a real kill switch.

Anyway, tell your friend its not hard to start with docker, you need portainer and youtube 😜

I was also struggling a bit with that, but didnt need a script or chron job. Maybe Im missing something, but I used this
