Seedbox providers are taking on the majority of the risk by providing the service. It’s in their interest to keep quiet about it. If they’re served with a legal request, they’ll honor it, if it conforms to their local laws. But so will your ISP, who has no incentive to protect your information.

Also, just my opinion, but I think seedbox operators tend to be people who are doing the same things their customers are.

There are some very cheap VPNs out there. Get a year long deal on Slickdeals, or a similar site. Come renewal time , switch providers and got another discounted subscription for the following year. VPN providers fall all over themselves trying to lure you away from your current provider.

Or, even better, get a seedbox. Many of those even offer VPNs at no additional cost. So you get the insulation of never torrenting on your home connection, and a “free” VPN, that isn’t shared with a million other people, for things like watching foreign streaming services or just plain increased privacy.
