The VPN will only hide stuff from your ISP, it wont hide it from the VPS supplier, as they have direct access to the box. Not sure if that's what you mean grimerie?
Same with seedbox, you use FTP to hide what you're doing from the ISP.
Financial viability doesn’t come into it. They can run a server at any spec required. Supply and demand.
A VPS is inherently less secure than a physical server, all advice for privacy advocates not to use a VPS.

It will stop the provider getting data protection violation notices so if you aren't allowed download torrents they wont know you are.
A VPN will encrypt all traffic leaving your device that is going through the VPN. Without a VPN all your data can be seen by the provider unless encrypted. But even if its encrypted it can be seen it depends on if the data centres is using there own local encryption between endpoints. A vpn will prevent them seeing your data no matter what. I work in cyber security and our product is used in data centres among other places to provide NIDS and HIDS.
Well if you are using FTP, that is a mistake. FTP doesn't encrypt nothing. U should be using SFTP, SCP to name a few.
Just use ftp and run TCPdump/wireshark and you will be able to see everything in the packets. FTP does not encrypt data and if you connecting to a FTP server over the internet anyone that is snooping on the packets at any of the hops can see the password/user name for the FTP connection and the data being sent. We have customers that are ISPs so ISPs snoop on your data.
Financial viability does come into it why would they sell something at a loss. a seedbox for $4pm for 100mb up/down is not something someone would sell unless it costs them less. or unless there customer is buying vasts sums of something else that can offset the lost of this.
This definitely isnt the case with seedboxes as most people only have the seedbox with the provider so there is nothing to offset the service loss if they were making a loss.
A VPS can be less secure but that is only because there is extra layers that can be vulnerable. If a VPS is configured correctly and its host is, then it can be just as secure as a Physical machine
Thats is because you do not own the data as it is stored on someone else infrastructure. I'm not sure of the laws in this case but i would assume if you are renting a physical server you do not own the data either.
This is probably wrong but the last time i checked the laws(3+ years) regarding cloud data anything you put on icloud, gdrive etc you do not actually have the rights to.
A VPN will only encrypt traffic between the endpoints.
Didn't i just say that in previous response?
NIDS/HIDS will only be received if configured, some companies dont configure them at all
I seen some seedboxes come with Plex so it is possible. I think the seedboxes are more aimed at users without configuration experience.
I was looking into moving my plex to a VPS recently for cost reasons. Using the unlimited gdrive it would be cheaper to run than my current system and i wouldn't have to worry about drives failing in the future.
I'm going to do a test run soon.
How much a month are you paying for your setup?Finally got time to do this. Runs great but the VPS I am using is not the best spec so can not hack more than 1 transcode at a time but has coped fine with 4+ direct streams at once.
Definitely the way to go if you have slow internet and you dont have to worry about data loss since it is all stored in gdrive.
I'm using netcup and pay quarterly as its cheaper.
netcup GmbH - Root Server
Also if you leave the site in German as they seem to offer it cheaper than EU.
I also bought google team drive on ebay cheap to store everything on.
