I was looking through the megathread and saw this real-debrid thing. I have heard this name some times so I read what it does but wasn't able to understand it. If someone could explain it to me I would appreciate it.

Also, it caught my attention that "it's a good way to prevent your IP from ever hitting the torrent's swarm, which is the main cause of receiving copyright infringement letters". Does this mean it's an alternative to a VPN when torrenting? Is it like a seedboxes or something? Are there any free alternatives?

Yeah I have my whole server running on an old gaming pc. I use cloudflare to open up my network instead of ports. Then my unifi gateway opens up my vpn for things I don’t want to open up via cloudflare

I need to see about using a VPN for my local network...

Did you follow any guides for cloudfare? I would like to achieve this as well.

No specific guide I can remember but it was very simple. Cloudflare has some good docs too if you get stuck.

Need to have a domain. Doesn’t need to be through cloudflare (I use namecheap)
Need to setup a free account on cloudflare and follow the steps on there to point your domain to their DNS.
Then from your cloudflare dashboard you can open up the zero trust dashboard. From here you can create a tunnel and it gives you steps to setup cloudflared on your server/machine.
Once the tunnel is setup you just need to setup each subdomain on the tunnel. Like rss.donain.com points to 192.168.1.224:5555 for example. Now when you go to rss.domain.com it will load up the page running on at 192.168.1.224:5555. SSL certificate and everything.
Optional step to also setup an “application” on zero trust dashboard for each of your services. This lets you pick an email or ip range or something and only that is allowed into the domain.

I think that’s everything but feel free to message me if you have questions.
