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?

      Fair enough, but it’s a good value for the price. Mullvad’s €5/month, and while it’s fallen out of favor I know people who still use PIA and get it for close to $2/month by prepaying for a few years at a time. You could probably pay for it by turning off the laptop a few hours a day to save on electricity.

      Worth the price, imo.

        Mullvad is top tier if you want a VPN with ethics. Its just OP doesn’t seem like that what their looking for.

      If all you care about is torrenting, there are tons of shitty cheap vpns you can use.

      Really all you need is one that supports port forwarding.
