Wanted to ask if there was another premium (or free) surefire way to get movies and TV shows in high quality without much hassle? I had an emby shared server that pretty much had anything I wanted but it looks like it shut down completely. I also didn’t notice that the reddits for plex/emby shares had been banned for a while cause I had this service for the past couple years. Any alternatives would be very much appreciated :)

    Btw there’s an other easier choice, which ppl usually downvote me for saying, and go with a “managed seedbox”. The idea is they provide you with the seedbox, aka a shared VPS, and an easy control panel to install, update, and repair apps such as the ones I mentioned. You download all of your stuff and store them in that seedbox and directly stream from it without worrying about affecting your home bandwidth.

    I usually suggest Ultraseedbox for first timers, their prices start at $16/month for 3TB storage (don’t go with the cheaper plans they don’t support plex), and their support are helpful compared to other providers.

      If I used Ultraseedbox and got a server in the Netherlands, would I still need a VPN?

        Afaik the answer is No. But it would be better to get the answer from someone who lives in a country where their laws are more strict than mine because in here no one cares if I torrent with or without a VPN
