I’m just curious as I’ve permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I’ve been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I’m curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can’t fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts.
Do you use your torrent machine to do other things besides torrenting, signing into personal accounts and stuff?
not exactly. you use an old machine like that and run it headless… throw a bunch of containers on it…
get yourself a gluetun and maybe deluge containers… youll have a solid vpn connection, and a torrenting client that wont bleed to public. you can run all kinds of compartmentalized services fairly easily.
