I want to use myanonymouse to download/seed books but it requires you to download from the same IP as you use to browse the website. My qBittorrent is in docker container on my home server, using gluetun with a VPN.

I tried both of these instructions to no avail I think there is something I’m missing. Shadowsocksqt5 latency just says “error” and using the chrome extension suggestion just simply doesn’t load anything.

The reason I don’t want to seed from my workstation pc is because myanonymouse requires you to seed to maintain your account and the workstation is mostly off. My home server is always on. Any ideas?

    Just send a PM to the staff. They let you use certain vpns as long as it is noted in your account.

    Source: I use a VPN with MaM and that is how I did it.

      The staff were the ones who told me there’s no workaround except to purchase a seedbox

        Your home server is your seedbox. Call it that. Not sure why you’re getting hung up on semantics.

          I’m getting hung up because nobody clarified that until now thank you.
