I’ve read on reddit I think that if you are torrenting using a private tracker you’re gonna be fine even without VPN. The question is: isn’t the tracker is just a server that leads my torrent client to the pieces of the file on the seeders? And the connection between me and the seeders is p2p, isn’t that type of connection is what makes your ISP snitch you? So what is different about private trackers? And where to find them?
Just a fun FYI: If you want to know what can be seen torrenting from your current IP, visit https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com
It wil show you anything publicly trackable and occasionally assign tags according to your habits. You can also check anybody else’s IP you know of too, and look at what your IP-neighbors have on their name,…
Tags I’ve seen assigned are mostly ‘Porn’ if you torrent at least 1 known xxx and I even encountered a highlighted differently-colored tag twice in neigboring IP’s that clearly state it’s questionable content of subjects that did not go through the accepted minimum amount of birthdays yet.
Always an interesting tool to check when connected to a friend’s wifi or a public shared one… 😅
That’s a cool tool.
Gonna try it out, thanks for the recommendation.
