Hello there, I put together a small Usenet setup with thick containers and would like to have your opinion about what should and shouldn’t be behind a VPN to connect to the outside.

Container: SABnzbd; no VPN, but SSL Jellyseerr; no VPN Jellyfin; Radarr; has VPN Sonarr; has VPN Readarr; has VPN

    With Usenet there’s no real reason to have any of your services behind a VPN unless you’re using torrents as a backup method to grab files. Even then, you should only be putting your torrent client behind a VPN.

    I think most people will tell you that there’s no need to use a VPN with Usenet. I personally do not. However, if one was to put any of the containers behind the VPN, I think that SABnzbd would be the one to do it with.

    I’m not a Usenet expert so feel free to correct me.
