I already have a seedbox, but I am realizing I paid for it with my credit card (dumb) even though I used a fake name and contact info. I am going to change providers and migrate my data, but I now need to actually pay for it securely (piracy in my country is only legal if only downloading) since I not only plan to seed to a private tracker and others but also would like to buy a larger box to help out with anna’s archive torrents. How do you all pay for your usenet / seedboxes?
I understand if crypto is recommended, but I dislike using it due to high overhead costs and general skepticism, so I would love some other options or providers that offer them (current provider only has crypto, stripe and PayPal).
The odds of you getting your own IPv4 address are pretty low, unless seedboxes have very different rules than I’d expect. Presumably you have a shared IP behind NAT, and they forward ports (not unlike a good VPN)
In that case, they would need the IP address, incoming port, and a very specific timestamp.
