Why not just use a VPN then?
A cloud VM does seem overkill.
- ad_hominem 9y agoI haven't seen this project before but a few reasons come to mind at first glance 1) Looks like it also runs a headless Transmission client, so you could use it as a seedbox 2) It can be tricky to configure VPNs correctly so that if the VPN connection goes down, your traffic doesn't spill over onto the clearnet. If this Docker image ensures that aspect works correctly then that's helpful. 3) It's a little complicated to setup a VPN connection on a personal computer just for BitTorrent use, without having other traffic (e.g. browsing) spill over onto the VPN. Setting this all up on a segregated remote box and connecting to the headless Transmission client mitigates that.
