Was considering deploying https://github.com/navilg/media-stack to my self hoated server (an old desktop plugged into my router). Im in an australia if thats relevent, thinking of getting starlink soon.

What are the risks of running it raw vs over a vpn?

What's the argument for doing this? It looks like media stack includes a vpn, so the effort level isn't going to be all that different.

Echoing everyone else: definitely use a vpn if you're torrenting. Strongly consider using a seedbox if you're on starlink or anything else with poor upload speeds.

The argument for doing this is not having to pay for a vpn. But i guess thats still cheaper than a traditional streaming service lol.

Fair enough, but it's a good value for the price. Mullvad's €5/month, and while it's fallen out of favor I know people who still use PIA and get it for close to $2/month by prepaying for a few years at a time. You could probably pay for it by turning off the laptop a few hours a day to save on electricity.

Worth the price, imo.
