Dedicated IP address from Nordvpn.....

would using my own dedicated server trigger your monitoring system and terminate my account thinking I'm cheating, which I would never do intentionally, it's well known!

@rezurrected the system is triggered when the traffic reported by the client doesn't match other stats like seeding time and upload speed, among other factors. Having a dedicated IP in itself is not a considered factor. You are less likely to be mistakenly flagged by the system using a dedicated IP than a member using a seedbox.
It's important that you use a stable client, that you have a killswitch to avoid having duplicated torrent stats if the client binds to your ISP's IP, and that the client will always shut down before the vpn disconnects in all cases, otherwise it can fail to report back to the tracker.
In the event that your account is flagged by the cheat system, it is reviewed by a mod, you'll also get a PM notification and have enough time to discuss with them before any decision is made.

@rezurrected Regardless of how you're doing your torrents, once your speed reaches a certain point, the system will flag your account for review. This is true whether you're using a seedbox, or you just have a fast connection.
If this happens though, do not panic. The restrictions are temporary, and the system will not outright ban you. Instead, a mod (such as myself) will look at the data being reported. As long as the data is consistent with legitimate high speed usage, you get cleared of any wrong doing, and you're good to go.
You would only be outright banned if you're actually doing any funny stuff to alter the data being reported to the tracker. It's usually pretty easy to be able to tell the difference.
Also, it should be noted that the use of a fast connection or even the use of a seedbox is NOT against any rule as long as the data being reported by the torrent client(s) is honest, accurate, and genuine. So as long as you're not deliberately altering the data to cheat your ratio, there is nothing wrong with using a seedbox.

No worries on this one: using a VPN or a dedicated IP is completely fine and does not get an account terminated. Cheating detection is about behaviour, not about what IP you connect from, and plenty of members seed from dedicated servers or seedboxes. Just keep your account to yourself as usual and you have nothing to worry about.
