Nice people

Who uses the cloud to download and archive their torrents ?

I have set up within a certain large cloud provider, a torrent client that lives within a container, then using Kubernetes a job (torrent download) is issued and torrents will round robin across an scalable array of nodes. The number of pods can be in the thousands if necessary, but each pod / container 1:1 focuses on a only a few torrents to maximize the bandwidth.

This maximizes the bandwidth available since each node has 1GBps, in affect.

The download is then saved to storage container that is available to stream directly to my TV over the net.

To kick off another torrent, I wrote a small utility that runs on the PC or Android and simply connect to my cloud service and adds the torrent to backlog of downloads and then it hands the job off to another node.

Clearly I could expand on this, and start copying Videos and seeding them, however given my VPN used within each node (no raw traffic obviously) I can only connect so many times to the VPN services before they limit the connections.

Looking for another way to tunnel the data rather than via commercial VPNs. Tor is a possibility but slow and frowned upon so, what do you use, for those of you who have avoided the use of mainstream VPN companies.
