Are you running it at home?

I built one with a nice TUI to run on a VPS so I can try and find rare magazine torrents, but Hetzner were upset about it. I need to find it a new home. It was a very good citizen, but it still raised too many flags.

yes but with a VPN to my seedbox, all the egress from the docker containers its running in goes through this: https://github.com/passteque/gluetun

the seedbox is through https://www.feralhosting.com used them for over 10 years now and they've been great (shared hosting so I have linuxbrew setup there, but no docker sadly)

I think generally you have to be very conservative about how you use ultra cheap hosts like hetzner simply due to the economics. Either find a more expensive service that will exert more effort towards discretion or alternatively spend $5 per month on a VPN that's friendly to torrents.

Runs fine at home. I've indexed 20M+ torrents in last few months running it during the day. With Prowlarr (or similar) it could easily replace other indexers.
