If you only want to tunnel a few apps use include mode. Just add the torrent client to the app include list, bind to the VPN interface in your torrent client settings, and you should be good to go.

Grafana is how I've done it, using Loki to ingest and store the logs, and Prometheus for metrics.

There's also Goaccess which is like 1000x easier to use, and works pretty well.

A VM is a good way to do it, the only real downside is just the space used by a whole extra OS install.

Most VPN clients will have an option to route only specific applications over the VPN. Just remember to also lock the Bittorrent client to the VPN network interface to prevent leaks if the VPN stops working.

Yeah it would be no different from running without a VM. The issue you're having isn't related to it being a VM.

Your popup there looks like it is because the user account you're using doesn't have admin privileges on windows. If this is a fresh install, I have no idea how you've ended up in that situation, as the user account you create on install is admin by default.

I suppose you can probably do most things without the plugins too, just more time intensive

No it's fine, clearly it did extract the rar file and run everything.

There are some suspicious things going on like the qcloud and counter-strike domains, as well as the 7zip extract being run.

I would probably get rid of it.

Your VPS provider will likely just forward copyright infringement letters to you, same as your ISP would, or they'll suspend your account.

It will hide your ISP IP from torrent peers, but the VPS provider still knows exactly who you are.

but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?

Very easy by the VPS provider, as the VPS has a static IP assigned to you.

Even if it has an IPv6 address that can't route, it's odd that the OS isn't falling back to IPv4.

But disabling IPv6 in the OS should fix it, as this is not a docker problem.

That web page is 24MB and took over 11s to load on a gigabit connection and fast PC, to show some text with a font that I find very hard to read.

87 individual .js files !

24MB to read some text written by an LLM just makes me sad about the current state of things. Especially since it reads like it was written by one, with the buzzwords and run on sentences that don't always make sense.

I'd rather read someones opinions and thoughts as they wrote them, even if that means it's harder to understand or has less content.

For what it's worth there are smartwatches with good battery life too, my Garmin Venu 2 lasts at least a week with sleep tracking, workout tracking, and some GPS use through the week.

Backblaze B2 for storage, and I host Healthchecks myself at home.
