Hello,

I wanted to get your recommendations on VPNs for seeding at home (1Gbps fiber, symmetric).

Setup:

  • qBittorrent docker with gluetun
  • Strictly private trackers
  • No DHT

Tried: Windscribe, Proton

Issues with them (wireguard, port forwarded, closest server-US):

  • Windscribe: down (~50-60 MB/s), but slow seeding (~10 MB/s). Stable, however.
  • Proton:
    • non-p2p server: fast down (~100 MB/s), fast up (50-60 MB/s), but is throttled after 2-3 hours.
    • p2p server:  slow seeding (~10 MB/s).

Requirements:

  • Port forwarding
  • Stable (~minimum 1TB/day uninterrupted upload traffic)
  • Unthrottled/unlimited

I find it quite interesting how this information is pretty hard to find on internet. Thanks, everyone.

PS. Do not reply if it’s about “Proton does not throttle”
