Kimsufi - torrenting

Does anyone use a Kimsufi server for torrenting? i.e. a cheap seedbox type of deal.
Does Kimsufi allow this?
Comments
Torrenting doesn't matter, but you have to respond to DMCA within like 24 hours or risk getting the IP blocked.
There OK for long term seeding of Linux ISO but not so good if you want to race Linux ISO. I'd also stick to private Linux ISO downloading to avoid what MikeA has stated.
Would recommend sticking a SOCKs proxy to your torrent server to prevent DMCA notices
If you are on private trackers, that's absolutely fine.
Solution is simple: use a public VPN (NordVPN, FastestVPN, Ivacy, KeepSolid, etc.).
DISCLAIMER: My comment is intended for legal sharing of data, like Linux/FreeBSD or other open source software, through VPN. LET is not a board to promote hacking, abuses, copyright infringements, or other illegal activities.
Alternatively you can use a rutorrent-vpn docker.
As long as there’s no copyright or other legal notices coming
I use a seedbox from a seedbox provider, but for years I used a Kimsufi with public trackers.
Never got a single DMCA or contact from Kimsufi about anything.
Its OVH for god sake. You dont need to run an OVH server through VPN.. Even Hetzner is safe for random public tracker usage.. Ive done so for 2 years now without any issues.
Even if you choose France location from the VPN for ur OVH server, its probly just another OVh server hosted by the VPN provider lol.
OVH forwarding DMCA to the client? Never heard of that happening myself. It probly does, but not with torrents.
Hetzner did block some public trackers in my case (most didn't start, but a few got to run). I took that as a sign and moved to use only private ones on it.
You need to disable DHT torrenting.
I've heard that OVH terminates your account if there are too many DMCA reports especially OVH US with their US servers. And Hetzner is extremely strict when it comes to copyrighted material/DMCA. Hetzner is usually fine with torrents if you don't get the copyright abuse.
They always forward the report to the client.
You can use qbittorrent webui and configure to use it with a proxy or better as @kennsann suggested you can use qbittorrent-vpn or rutorrent-vpn docker as it used OpenVPN.
Private trackers is not the answer, look at this https://torrentfreak.com/movie-company-sues-pirates-who-used-an-anonymous-vpn-201026/
Just download, seed until 1.0 and delete. Don't be a dick. Simple rule.
Did you even read the article?
That's a really wise advice.
Torrent traffic ->wireguard vpn docker (openvpn will be too hard on cpu)
@l2o88j how named wireguard vpn docker?
Why would you need VPN if you are torrenting legal files?
Just to be on the safe side...
Run https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/wireguard in client mode with a wireguard config and use this docker container as network for your torrent client vpn
In my experience, they don't care in France, but you can expect DMCA complaints to be forwarded to you in Canada.
sorry to bring this back up, but when you guys talk about DMCA complaints being forwarded, would it happen even on say US control panel/ account, but datacenters in the UK?
Thanks.
Using a KS-1 as a seedbox for several years without any DMCA issues or any other. Seeding public trackers
