Offshore VPS for a P2P File Sharing Network Node
You want to run a node on a P2P file sharing network - DC++, eDonkey, IPFS, Tribler, or a private retroshare-style network - from infrastructure outside your home country. Reasons range from bandwidth (residential ISPs throttle), to legal posture (no Comcast subscriber identity tied to the traffic), to redundancy. This page covers hosting a P2P file sharing node on an Anubiz offshore VPS.

What P2P-node hosting actually needs
Three resources dominate: bandwidth (often the binding constraint), storage (for cached content or your own files), and a stable IP. CPU is light. Memory is moderate. The exact mix depends on the network: IPFS prioritizes storage and CPU for cryptographic operations; classic file-sharing networks prioritize bandwidth and storage. An Anubiz VPS with 1 Gbps uplink and unmetered or high-cap bandwidth fits all common cases.
Sizing
Light node (under 1 TB/month transfer): 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 80 GB NVMe. Medium (5-10 TB/month, modest cache): 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 320 GB NVMe. Heavy (storage-heavy IPFS pinning, 20+ TB/month): dedicated server with larger SATA disks. Anubiz supports all three tiers. Bandwidth tiers vary by location - confirm your plan supports the throughput you need before launch.
Anubiz binding
Anubiz offshore VPS plans from $17.90/mo. Higher-bandwidth and higher-storage plans for serious node operators. Romania and Netherlands are typical choices for European-bandwidth-priority nodes; Iceland for operator privacy. Crypto payment, no KYC.

Legal note
P2P file sharing covers an enormous range of content from fully legal (academic data sets, free-software distribution, public-interest archives) to clearly infringing. We do not police user traffic. We do respond to DMCA-equivalent court orders from the country of physical hosting. Operators should understand that running an exit point or popular node may attract takedown notices, and design rotation and backup plans accordingly. We do not provide content moderation services.
