Hello everyone,
I'm considering purchasing a seedbox, but I'm a total noob so I'm reading lots of tutorials to grasp the subject. My main concern is privacy. From what I gathered, a seedbox is a good solution for building up ratio (especially on private trackers) without keeping your computer on 24/7 (bandwith is another point). Everywhere I go seedbox and VPN are presented as alternatives, the latter being your primary option for a safe internet browsing, while a seedbox is an ideal tool for torrenting. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. What I don't understand is why many seedbox companies provide a complimentary VPN service with every package: is it, indeed, a complimentary gift or do I need to use it as well to hide every trace of my activity? Isn't it redundant? Won't it slow me? I mainly download torrents from private trackers. Please, help me fill the gaps, I'm a bit confused.
Thanks!
