I'm looking for a cloud provider with a cheap VPS offer to host my own wireguard relay and use it to seed.

I've read that Switzerland is safe for torrenting, so I was thinking about using Infomaniak. Does anyone has experience with seeding torrents from their IP addresses ? I'm also interested in other suggestions.

Thank you :)

Just a heads up about switzerland:

  • downloading movies and music is not illegal, but
  • uploading is
  • also download and upload of copyrighted software is illegal

Thank you for the clarification.

I've also read that it's illegal in Switzerland to gather IP addresses because they are considered sensitive PII. Do you know about this, and does it protect me in any way if I use a swiss datacenter IP for seeding my torrents ?
