Is self-hosted OpenVPN on a vps safe enough for p2p? (lemmy.today)

As the title says, I have my own instance of OpenVPN running in a vps (default settings). Is that "safe" enough for p2p? Any settings I should change? Anything I should watch out for? I guess it would show that the IP address of my vps will be going to these p2p sites and connecting to the IP address of whoever I'm transferring from, but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?

Renting a seedbox is my solution to all these issues. I imagine your VPS probably wouldn't be happy with self-hosting a seedbox (although technically its very easily doable) perhaps you could find a VPS that allows seedboxes (or vice versa, a seedbox that lets you run other stuff on your seedbox since it's basically just a VPS anyway)
