Why 'headless' is complicated? Open a shell (via ssh) and you have a normal linux server.
I use ProtonVPN behind a gluetun container. I just keep my indexer and downloader behind it (SABnzbd + prowlarr) I used to have all my arrs and overseer and everything behind it because I was paranoid but it's not necessary. You don't even need SAB behind it cause it's behind ssl but yea. Proton running downloader and indexer through gluetun
Maybe ask r/piracy. Not sure what this has to do with self hosting.
So I would recommend Qbittorent combined with gluetun and your VPN of choice, I personally use ProtonVPN for my Linux ISO stack simply because it still has a form of port forwarding(NAT-PMP) which I can combine with scripts to get it port forwarded. However besides that I used to use mullvad and it worked great and can highly recommend although it is a bit more on the expensive side(both mullvad and protonVPN are, mullvad being 5 euro per month, proton being 10 euros if you pay monthly 6 if you pay yearly, 5 if you pay for 2 years).
I use these because they have a reputation for being less shady than other VPN companies like NordVPN/Express/(Insert other VPN that sponsors every youtuber under the sun). But it will depend on what you want and what you are willing to spend.
Just another stupid qn. Do I still need to use flaresolverr if I use a VPN?
Nordvpn. Transmission for torrenting. They have a docker container that is transmission and openvpn in one container.
