I'm looking for a cloud provider with a cheap VPS offer to host my own wireguard relay and use it to seed.

I've read that Switzerland is safe for torrenting, so I was thinking about using Infomaniak. Does anyone has experience with seeding torrents from their IP addresses ? I'm also interested in other suggestions.

Thank you :)

As others have pointed out, just get a VPN and run your torrents through that. I've used AirVPN and ProtonVPN. Both are P2P friendly and even offer inbound port forwarding. It would be easier to setup and likely cheaper too. Proton is incorporated in Switzerland and has servers all over the world.

This does not answer the question I asked. I've already considered a commercial VPN and I've ruled it out (clearly not cheaper, unless you can find a decent VPN with port forwarding that costs less than 2€/month)
