    There's no problem with seeding. There's actually more uploaded than downloaded

    not working quite that well on my end. no matter how popular torrent, mine won't seed at all. and i can't download some rare ones where there's like less than 50 seeds.

        What does VPN hide that HTTPS can’t hide for media server?

        I am looking at the scenario of listening to my music collection on self-hosted Jellyfin server.

        IP address of my phone? That’s irrelevant.

        HTTPS is way faster than VPN.

        It could hide your IP from someone on Lemmy finding your IP address

          VPN into your home lab isn't about privacy, it's more about reducing your exposed services to the public internet.

          If you have only the ports needed to VPN back into your network, then the rest is hidden behind your router. You only need to fully secure one thing, instead of having to ensure that everything is 100% patched.

          It's not the only thing you should be doing, but it does help reduce the probability of a breach.

          I don't see how exposing only port 443 makes much difference and port 80 for letsencrypt renewals.

            Any HTTP proxy will do it without VPN complexity.

              They didn't really ask about a proxy server, I just gave them one thing a VPN could do
