Just making sure I'm not missing something obvious:

Self-hosted Linux VM with protonVPN and QBitorrent installed on it.

QBittorrent networking bound only to ProtonVPN's virtual interface with killswitch and secure core enabled.

Auto updates enabled and a scripted alert system if ProtonVPN dies. Obviously everything with very secure unique passwords.

Is this a safe setup to run 24/7 to torrent and seed with?

Are there any significant risks I'm missing? Thanks, fellow sea salts!

I'm trying to recreate this setup in my system. I'm running Ubuntu and I have everything in Docker. I have PIA running outside of Docker. I was also able to get Gluetun working in its own container, too. Does anyone have advice?
