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 :)

Ultraseedbox is a reliable and affordable option that I have used for years across a variety of their offered plans. I’ve always been happy with it:
I also recommend using Gluetun as a docker container, and then setting that as your network for a qbittorrent container. It is really easy to set up with a built in kill switch, so no more leaks from a disconnect.
Thanks, I will look into it. I've never successfully gotten my head around docker though. I currently use Swizzin community edition.
I thought I didn’t understand docker until I realized I was trying to use crappy broken containers. I can vouch for the official gluetun and qbittorrent ones functioning normally.
Both can be created easily with docker run if you don’t feel comfortable working with docker compose yet. Both of their pages have run and compose options in the description.
I don’t think you’ll regret the time taken to learn it if you go this route. Docker permanently changed how I managed my services for the better.
That's cool. I definitely plan to try again sometime, as it sounds like it has some real advantages. In the past I tried using some projects like DockStarter.
Honestly, I’d sincerely recommend learning run or compose from the cli to get your containers started. Understanding the available variables and how to use them will teach you everything you will need to know if you choose a tool like DockStarter or Portainer later. They are convenient, but the way they hide the underlying run and compose options can sometimes end up limiting your understanding in the long run.
