I've been running my *arrs behind a vpn for years with no issues whatsoever.
The VPN is needed for the torrent client. If you use it with the arr programs, you will probably be blocked by anything that's behind cloudflare.
no, you shouldn't use a VPN with any Servarr app. you use the vpn with the download client.
I think you need to look at the points above, where it lists the cases where VPN is recommended:
When VPNs are Needed Highly Restrictive Countries: China or Australia where internet access is heavily restricted ISP Throttling: If your ISP specifically throttles or blocks BitTorrent traffic Legal Requirements: If local laws require VPN use for P2P/BitTorrent activities
Not sure where you're located, but in most of the USA, not using a VPN runs you the risk of at least getting a nastygram from your ISP. How much that means to you depends on how worried you are about getting your service disconnected or sued by the owner of whatever you're seeding. For me personally, a VPN is a no-brainer.
ETA: I may have missed the subtler point of your post. I personally do not have my *arr apps behind a VPN, only my torrenting app. I think that is what the wiki is specifically addressing.
