That’s really the golden ticket there. With a seed box there’s no chance your VPN fails (download stuff on the box directly, you’ll have a secure shell and KVM). That can be a real problem with normal vpns if not configured properly (you need to force traffic through the VPN and reject on failure, while most default to a fail back and will expose your IP.)

People that make claims without evidence will have them dismissed for exactly that reason. If that’s putting you off, then kiss off, moth.

Seed boxes are typically virtual private servers. Very much like a VPN (it’s a proxy.) but they’re on major backbones. You get incredible bandwidth. Most will let you put up web services. You get storage…
Many are just 5-10 bucks a month.
Definitely suggested over vanilla vpns.

1·15 days agoThings are built to warranty. That take engineering. Most things are designed to fail, unfortunately.
Most warranties are 3-5 years. The government and businesses also depreciate technology (computers) on a 5 year basis.
Most technology follows a bathtub failure curve. Technology that outlasts 3-5 years is frequently a fluke and they try hard to minimize those.
