I’d look into using the *arr applications for managing and moving your media downloads. Manually managing all your torrents and downloaded files gets tedious very fast.
You’d also be able to hook up a Jellyseerr instance to these applications to make requesting content for your family a breeze :)
Do you plan on putting your Transmission VM behind a VPN? I don’t see this mentioned but this should be a top priority.
I have seen and read in other posts about these *arr applications, maybe I should look into it some more
I have never before used a VPN to download torrents, so I was not planning on starting that now really as I have had no issues whatsoever with the government or ISP, and here they first send you a warning and maybe then I was thinking about using a VPN.
As far as I know VPN’s cost money and the whole reason I’m building this machine is to steer clear from ‘subscriptions’ and external servers so that I have everything in my own control and free of charge (or at least only hardware and energy payments)
What the original comment probably meant, was to install a VPN to gain remote access from outside of your home network. For the sake of accessing your private services from anywhere. Not because you want to mask or hide your network traffic from your ISP.
If you want a VPN to access your home network from outside I would recommend Wireguard, the installation process is pretty simple with wg-quick.

Is there another reason for the need of VPN?

That’s not how I read it, to me it looks like they’re asking if you plan to use a VPN to hide the traffic from your ISP.
