Hello this isn’t strictly ‘selfhosted’ material but there seems to be a lot of networking knowledge in this group.
I’m thinking of leveraging my universities network to assist in downloading “Linux ISO’s” via torrent. I thought a cool little project would be and old rasberry pi with a battery pack, wifi radio and an external hdd in a box would be cool.
Considering I have to use a university supplied email and password, unique to me, to connect to the wifi (only once then it connects like normal). How obvious will it be that I am downloading “Linux ISO’s”? I’d definitely be running a VPN as a base level of privacy.
Also if there is a better community for this please point me in the right direction. Reddit’s adds were annoying but it was definitely easier to stumble onto relevant subreddits.
the amount of traffic going through the vpn may also look suspicious
