First time I ever get one of those emails from my ISP about torrented material and telling me to delete it.
I use an #umbrel for my node connected to a linksys router I bought.
I have my second #umbrel connected directly to the ISP modem they provided (so I can switch wifi and connect to umbrel from my browser at home) that's the one I use sonarr/radarr on.
Was my mistake connecting that one directly to the modem my ISP provided? Or would they have known anyway?
Sorry if I sound dumb 🤣
Don’t worry, just send them documentation on central banking & claim that THEY are the ones being part of the global, criminal fiat operation
Does the downloader run through a VPN or Tor? The ISP should be able to see everything regardless of what device you connect to if it still goes through them. They usually don't give an email except for specific content here so maybe it's the same for you.
I did look into this because I was worried that I didn't see any VPNs in the umbrel app store. I searched the support forums and some guy said something to the effect that it's done through TOR and that's why there weren't any VPNs or whatever but that doesn't seem to be the case(?)
It could just be I don't have a setting on or something, I don't mean to throw umbrel under the bus or anything. I'm gonna look into mullvad and how I can get VPN set up on the router level.
Are you torrenting? The torrent apps on Umbrel all mention they dont use Tor so you would need to figure out how to route them seperately or run a network wide service, which may mess with how Umbrel routes itself. I only use Umbrel in a Ubuntu VM for crypto related stuff and a Nostr relay so I am not too familiar with it.
Ty for pointing this out! I jumped the gun and thought everything was done via Tor. I'm gonna use a different OS for my RasPi then. I had intended to use it as a NAS anyway so I'm gonna shop around for a distro. I just really liked the easy set up and app store GUI thing on my Umbrel node and saw it had a bunch of non BTC and LN related apps and figured I'd stick to Umbrel because it's easy, but I'm not afraid of some command line stuff.
Also wanna mess with stirfry and simpleX servers/relays , so yeah 😅
If the raspi can handle a debian linux you could run umbrel inside it. Umbrels website gives a terminal command for quick setup. That way you can torrent with linux, route through tor or vpn, and then have it go to the content folder you use (umbrel or not) while still running umbrel how you do now. It also means you can use umbrel for whats supported there and host in linux for unsupported things or better control.
I wouldnt enjoy using an RPI for managing everything due to the hardware. It may be best to have one RPI for bitcoin, another for media hosting and torrenting, another for running a virtual router, etc.
Oh, dont forget to hide the DNS as well. IP is no longer the only way to track so use a Quad9 upstream DNS.
Also gonna look into this
Ty so much, I didn't know thus! It's the latest raspi with the larger memory but full Ubuntu is leggy on it so I'm gonna use their official OS Rasbian based on debian and try it the way you're suggesting!
