Thanks for that feedback. Is that also true when using the advanced kill switch? ProtonVPN with that setting does not allow internet at all if the vpn is not connected. In the case that I must use that container, how would I do this?

The only traffic allowed outbound from the torrent box should be the VPN connection. Then it doesn’t matter if routing or interface binding is set up wrong

Thanks, how could I do this with ufw?

Yeah that is for me a big one

How could I check the file before I let it seed? They are a few gigabyte files so i guess uploading to virustotal is not really an option. I am on Linux.

Thanks, really appreciated detailed response. I checked out the websites youshared, and found them really good and actually with more seeds than pirate bay so am definitely moving away from that. A couple of questions if you dont mind. I am currently using Transmission and also the ufw. Do you think what steps I have to take to link it like you said? I am quite noob on this and I can’t find any step that is understandable.

Your best bet is to join MAM. From there, you can progress to Aither and other sites within a reasonable amount of time through the invite forums.

Could you elaborate what is MAM?
