I have Plex, Radarr, Prowlarr, and Qbittorrent all installed on the same dedicated server. I'm using a SOCKS5 proxy instead of a VPN, it works great because I set up Qbittorrent to use the proxy and I just leave it running 24/7. I also have Tailscale installed for remote access, setup for that is dead simple.
Here's my workflow if I'm away from home:
That's it. If I'm already at home, step 1 is not necessary.
Prowlarr and Radarr find the movie on my registered indexers, at the desired quality, and send the torrent to Qbittorrent. Then when the download is finished they automatically rename the files and move them to my Plex library (and they could do the same with Jellyfin). Roughly 10 minutes after I finish step 3 (more or less depending on seeds), the movie magically appears in my Plex library. I don't have to turn a VPN on or off.
You guys turned piracy into an automated factory game (Factorio). Well done.
It's definitely not necessary, but damn it's convenient and easy now that it's set up. And my setup is relatively simple. Sonarr is for TV, Bazaar automates subtitles, there's Lidarr for music, and Readarr for books.... The list of 'arrs is long.
