Was considering deploying https://github.com/navilg/media-stack to my self hoated server (an old desktop plugged into my router). Im in an australia if thats relevent, thinking of getting starlink soon.

What are the risks of running it raw vs over a vpn?

    What I don’t get about seedboxes: you give the provider both your personal data as well as show them what you’re doing illegally. That seems like a bad idea. What am I missing?

      Seedbox providers are taking on the majority of the risk by providing the service. It’s in their interest to keep quiet about it. If they’re served with a legal request, they’ll honor it, if it conforms to their local laws. But so will your ISP, who has no incentive to protect your information.

      Also, just my opinion, but I think seedbox operators tend to be people who are doing the same things their customers are.
