The VPS probably had a unique IP which the complainant used to make the complain, from there the VPS provider matched the IP to your VPS. This is something that you can not get around. Some pointers and something I guess I should of made obvious in this article is that you should NEVER pay in advance for such a service. The provider is already sketchy, and there is still the fact that your VPS box can be tracked. The thing that saves you is you downloaded in a country where they can't prosecute you without jumping through a lot of hoops. Another thing is even though you have a seedbox you should stay away from public trackers such as ThePirateBay, ISOHunt, Demonoid, etc. and only stick with private trackers, this will almost ensure you will never get shutdown/caught. If you need a new provider I suggest using https://bytesized-hosting.com/ as they have a strong community that can help you gain access to some of the private trackers like iptorrents, and awesome-hd. They also do not allow public trackers (I consider this a feature) and have some other really neat features with their boxes such as OpenVPN and an unmanaged VPS with full root access.

So be ware they will discontinue service of your VPN if they get a formal complaint of your downloads.

Byte-sized only allowed trackers that are private. Some that they allow include. IPTorrents, and Awesome HD, there is a lot more but those are the only ones I use. To get a complete list you should contact them directly. It should also be noted that this adds another layer of protection. By blocking public trackers it makes it harder for unwanted seeders or leachers to see what is going on. They do have a lot of “banned” trackers because they do not allow any open trackers.

Where SeedBox is better than a VPN is when you share the content. A SeedBox does not use your bandwidth when sharing content making it easier for you to keep sharing something. Also a SeedBox can come with up to a 100MB connection per 2 users (Usually per 10 users).
