Netflix to block proxy access to content not available locally

You don't connect to the swarm using your ISP-supplied IP address.

You can use a VPN service and tunnel all your traffic through that.

You can use a seedbox, which is basically your torrent client running on a virtual machine or shared machine in a data centre. The P2P stuff doesn't come to or from your home IP. And it all happens at data centre speed.

If you use a private tracker, a seedbox is the way to go because you can leave it constantly seeding 24/7 at high speed so you build an amazing ratio.

You can pick up a seedbox with 700GB storage, 1Gb/s download, and 50Mb/s upload (both speed limited, but unlimited total) for less than a fancy coffee a week. Plex integration, OpenVPN connections included (so you can bypass any ISP-level filters), encrypted FTP etc.

Can you recommend good seedbox providers?

I'm extremely happy with seedboxco.net, the SB-50 package more than meets my needs (of downloading Linux ISOs, obviously. Ahem).

There are other higher end packages with stupidly fast upload, but SB-50 is vastly faster than my linespeed anyway.

They do week trials for a couple of quid.

There's a slight learning curve, but as you're on HN, I doubt you'll struggle with the basics. And you will pick up the cool extras.

Do check out the VPN (iirc) tab, for creating OpenVPN accounts.

The only app thingy I used was Plex, and it worked flawlessly.

Ferral Hosting's seedbox hosting was fine, but it had a steeper learning curve and didn't give me anything compelling over SeedboxCo.

http://Put.io is a one example of such service

I've used feralhosting.com for something like 6 years and can say only good things about their service. I haven't shopped around for price in a long time, but the pricing still seems reasonable to me.

I have also tried put.io and it seemed good.
