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?

    You will get nasty letters if you torrent on Starlink without a VPN and they may disconnect you. It’s CGNAT, so performance will be crap without a VPN since you can’t use port forwarding. The upload is rather slow, so you may want to consider a seedbox, especially if you use private trackers.

      You’ll only get the nasty letters if you use public trackers… I’ve been on starlink since it came to Australia and never once got a nasty letter or warning or anything, and I don’t have any VPN going

      You’re right about the upload speed though
