  • A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:

    Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.

    “Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.

    This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.

    Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.




  • Google Pixel is no-brainer choice. Any pixel from 7th gen.

    GrapheneOS is kind of nice if you don’t hate setting everything up, but for example, Google Wallet does not work on it. Camera is somewhat trash. Myself I did not like it due to camera and google wallet functionality.

    Ex-OnePlus user. Their software is buggy and shit. OnePlus used to be amazing but not anymore.

    Mobile market sucks in terms of competition tbh… All 3rd party ROMs like LineageOS are usually bloated with bugs there and there. Wouldn’t recommend!




  • Some time ago I’ve done a “public IP implementation” on my VPS when I was on mobile network (no public IP).

    Basically set up IPSec/Wireguard on VPS and connect your router to it. Then setup EoIP over VPN between VPS and your router. Then add EoIP tunnel to your LAN’s bridge in your router.

    Then setup all ports forwarding (using iptables) from your VPS to your router on LAN, so if you connect to your VPS using tcp80, it will be simply forwarded (NAT’ed) to your router. Except tcp22, for SSH to your VPS obviously…

    And now you have yet another public IP lol.

    This is not something you asked, but might give you some ideas.



  • Isn’t “MAC NAT” you are after? I’ve seen Mikrotik has this feature to perform NAT for bridge devices. EDIT: no, since your ISP might check at DHCP leases and realise that you are cheating. Go with regular router instead.

    Also regular router would be sufficient IMO. Also don’t forget to set static TTL value so your “ISP” doesn’t see that you have a router between your devices.

    Also create MAC address and save it. Always change it before connecting - you will have less trouble.
