Was considering deploying https://github.com/navilg/media-stack to my self hoated server (an old desktop plugged into my router). Im in an australia if thats relevent, thinking of getting starlink soon.

What are the risks of running it raw vs over a vpn?

Australian here. Torrenting with no vpn is a terrible idea. Right now today there may not be any litigation of end users, but if you think about whether there will be at some point over the next several years? The odds are pretty good, and you'd be the low-hanging fruit.

Your risks diminish dramatically with a vpn.
