I currently use a Hetzner VPS in conjunction with a Hetzner storage box. Generally I'm very happy with this setup, but I recently had a VPN failure which resulted in a very stern email from Hetzner. What I would like to do is keep the storage box, but move my torrenting/jellyfin server to a different company. I'm worried about them deleting my ~12TB of media if I slip up again!

Basically I want a comparable value to Hetzner, with a US based server. Who's got recs?

Don't have recs for someone else's seedbox (mine is on my desk and just vpns) but if you're using a good torrent client you should be able to limit it to only use the vpn network, that way even if you slip up there's no leakage.

On qbittorrent its in the advanced settings under "bind to interface"

I wanted to say that alternatively, some VPNs include an internet kill switch to prevent leaks. However I don't see that going well on a remote server

Yeah, I know about the interface bind. I had something more complicated setup with namespaces or something. It worked great for like 2 years before it failed.

I run it on a VPS for availability while I travel. I have pretty shit upload speed on my home connection :)
