Whether it's VPN or seedbox, I see the choice of seedbox as a better solution to continue with filesharing.  But I don't know the setup procedure.  Please give the steps in setup for using the seedbox.  A good,  managed and inexpensive suggestion for the seedbox would also help.

Tixati needs a graphical output to work. Seedboxes are usually run text-only with the web interface enabled.

Hi notaLamer

Would this persons idea work if they had a VPS/Bare Metal datacenter server with Linux Desktop enabled? Something like Ubuntu desktop using RDP connectivity?

Guest yes, this is the right direction. I have never tried this area but I believe X11 would need to be running and gtk packages installed with a virtual screen running. CPU-only rendering (without any GPU needed) should work. Remote desktop access or not is up to you.
