I have multiple 2.5 HDDs from collected from old laptop. And a spare Rasberry Pi 4 device. I'm running a qBitorrent client on Docker with selective source. I mean I selected which tracker to use (all private), and which uploader to download torrent from them.

Now I want to setup an automatic download/remove to keep my account actively (on private tracker). And I'm not intending to watch movies downloaded to the RPi4. Just download, seed until got 2 ratio then remove the torrent.

My question is putting the RPi4 device in DMZ (on ISP modem setting) good enough to isolated it from other devices in my home network?

I'm afraid that download "any" torrents will cause trouble like spreading worms, viruses over the network.
