It's not a real proper seedbox but I would suggest a subscription to Alldebrid.
You will get the ability to download directly from many hosters, and also this ability to use the Alldebrid seedbox to "convert" torrents to DDL links.
It's a cheap subscription and it does everything I need to get movies, series and so on.
I have been using that for years and found it to be reliable.
You probably can get a free trial for a month if you want to see what the service does.
Is there a need for VPN/proxy with this?
No, but I still use one anyway.
You don't need a VPN or proxy with Debrid services. They download and cache the torrents for you in their own servers, so you aren't at risk of DMCA or the equivalent.
I guess it depends of where you live.
In my country you can have issues if you download copyrighted content over torrents. But you are pretty safe if you DDL. Which is very dumb but that's the way it is.
Point is it depends on where you live and what the risks are for downloading stuff.
Because they can't see what you're downloading via direct download especially if it's over HTTPS. On the other hand, it's trivial to see everyone's IP if they download the same torrent you are, then they just send letters to ISPs owning those IPs who then pass it on to you.
I have a RD subscription. The problem is it's hard to use on an iOS device which is most of the stuff my fiancee uses unfortunately. The second problem is that it's one IP per user, so each person who travels and uses their internet will need an account which quickly adds up.
I have RD setup on Android TV for my parents which has been stellar so far.
Ok.
I don't know much about the differences between RD and AD but I don't think AD is really enforcing the IP limitations. Or maybe only on streaming.
I have shared "debrided" links to a friend a few days ago and it didn't seem to be an issue.
Let me check out the ToS of AD. Thanks for the heads up. On RD if I log into my partner's account who lives in a different place, she gets logged out and vice versa.
