Off topic question, I'm trying to learn about seedboxes: Do you have to configure your own VPN with your current seed box or is it not necessary?
The whole point of using a seedbox is so that you don't have to use a VPN (well, and speed). You probably shouldn't use a seedbox with public trackers though. Some seedboxes will drop you from their service if they get a copyright request.
It's not necessary :) Since the torrenting is done on the seedbox and you're accessing it sort of like google drive or something similar, there aren't any issues. This is why you usually pick a seedbox in a different country.
On top of that, with some providers like seedbox.cc, they let you use your seedbox as a VPN with upto three users.
Some managed are already finished and ready to use.
My seedbox on hostingby.design has OpenVPN configured and I can just download the config file.
Hey, I'm currently on hbd too, curious to know how to find the openvpn config. So far I've only found wireguard.
I was grandfathered in from seedbox.io days.
In your case I'd recommend asking support if they could configure it for you. But tbh wireguard is fine as well.
That's really cool :) Thank you. I will probably stick with wireguard.
