VPN or Seedbox?
Tiffanys:
What would be better, a VPN or a Seedbox?
The internet here isn't very fast. I have a like 4MBit/1Mbit connection, so I can only upload at like 100-150kb/s and download at like 550kb/s. I also don't like leaving my computer on at night since the blue LED's give me horrible sleep. So, a seedbox would be very useful to me.
A VPN on the other hand, is more about anonymity and not getting caught downloading illegal crap, which I obviously do since I'm here.
I suppose the question really is... Would a seedbox basically provide the same protection as a VPN anyways? I mean, obviously I'd have to get a Swiss seedbox or something for their internet protection laws, but would the result basically be the same?
I mean, overall... The only real disadvantage I'm seeing with a seedbox is that my ISP would be able to see I'm FTPing said illegal content to myself... or is there some way around that? idk. That's why I'm posting this.

You can encrypt your ftp connection
Freedom Kira:
^ SFTP, or FTP over SSH tunnel.
You should always be using one or the other anyway.

end result on relying on a seedbox is that you`ll still have to download the stuffs from the seedbox, which makes you do more effort than needed and you`ll still get caught downloading the stuffs, unless you actually ship the software physically.
Kyrdua:
@ tiff, FK's post is spot on.
