Nope! The server provider will definitely be monitoring your activity and probably will report you for torrenting. VPNs shift trust, even self-hosted ones. Do you trust Amazon AWS or Google Cloud or whatever provider you're using? I certainly hope not.
The server provider is my good friend in different country (with very old computer)
@Vitaly
Then yeah you're probably good actually.
Yeah i hope so, i also want to ask about DNS provider that you guys use
@Vitaly
Speaking for myself, I use quad9 for DNS
Why quad9?
