In my country I don’t get good upstream internet so I can still have good ratios on torrent sites and the private trackers I use. The prices on the dedicated seed box services can’t be beat for bandwidth and for someone with kids it’s already all set up.

FWIW if you have a seed box which you can ssh into, you can setup a SOCKS5 proxy to route all traffic through the seed box. It'll act like a VPN for you and is the best of both worlds in my opinion. This way your ISP and government can't block your traffic or see that you're accessing trackers at all (even to get the magnet links).

OP is new to this so they won't have access to private trackers anyway.
