Since when is that a risk with torrents? Also I guess just don't seed.VPNs mask your IP making it harder for content owners to target you with legal actions for seeding/leeching their content.

Unfortunately it's becoming more common. Obviously it depends of the type of content and how much the creator cares about this kind of stuff, but happens nonetheless, even if you just hit and run.Since when is that a risk with torrents? Also I guess just don't seed.
Torrent is open, so yes, your IP is visible there. And typically it isn't possible to not upload the same time you are downloading. Sure, you can stop seeding as soon as you are done, but typically it's too late then, you already HAVE uploaded at this point.Since when is that a risk with torrents? Also I guess just don't seed.
I'm really confused as to what VPN has to do with you being concerned with torrents. Whatever issue you might have with them, I'm pretty sure VPN doesn't solve. VPN just hides your location.

The only way to torrent nowadays is via a Seedbox. Anything else is just a security issue. VPN's are nice and all but you're depending on it staying connected 24/7 to mask your location. Yes most VPN's have a kill switch if/when it disconnects, but are you willing to trust it?Torrent is open, so yes, your IP is visible there.

Thus: No (illegal) torrenting without VPN.
Having myself used seedboxes for a while, I agree with this.The only way to torrent nowadays is via a Seedbox. Anything else is just a security issue.

Meh obfuscation + Killswitch works just fine.The only way to torrent nowadays is via a Seedbox. Anything else is just a security issue.

Seedbox is the only way to do torrents these days. Google it if you aren't sure what it is. Yes it will cost you some money, but long term it will save you a ton of $$$ from potential headaches. I have been using a Seedbox for about 5 yrs now and I download a lot of content, never gotten a notice like I used to from my ISP. Peace of mind is golden.
Once you go Seedbox, you'll never go back to anything else
Also this just make your Torrent client use nothing but the VPN Connection. I's gone your connection is dropped. No Ip leaked.Having myself used seedboxes for a while, I agree with this.
However, regarding trusting your VPN when torrenting; a handy trick is to bind your torrent client to your VPN, so if your VPN connection drops, or you disconnect, then you are no longer connected to the torrents, and not taking the risk of compromising yourself.
A VPN definitely has it's place but it was never intended to be used for torrents. It was intended for as you say "getting around silly region blocks". VPN's have evolved over time and as its demand rose, more features were added to accommodate that demand. I am not saying that ppl can't use it for torrents, but that's not what it was created to do and thus will never be perfect. As long as ppl are aware and accept the risks that it isn't perfect and never will be perfect, they can do as they wish.Meh obfuscation + Killswitch works just fine.
I use VPN generally to get around silly region blocks but with a Shadowsocks Proxy and a VPN you're good.
Worst that will happen is that your Download stops because your connection is lost.
Going to a local freenet usually works too although the speed might vary. But that is kinda like a seedbox I guess.
I'm also no sure why you would trust one service that is out of your hands over another. Unless you make your own and then isn't the geolocation a problem again ?
And when did VPS turn into seedbox. I'm old
Yup it isSeedbox is the way to go for torrenting. It's also basically a must if you want to maintain a good ratio on private trackers
Until there is a new leak, this thread is pretty much dormant the majority of the time. Having off topic discussions kinda fills in the time between leaks. What else is this thread good for if it's dormant the majority of the time.With all respect to you all, but could we get back to the point we're all here for? Exchange Dofantasy / Fansadox Collection.
You've been discussing for two pages now how this exchange can be carried out safely, but in my opinion that doesn't belong here. But maybe that's just my opinion.
Ok, does anyone have <insert random not yet available fansadox comic> yet?Having said that, yes, we should probably get back on topic
Precisely my pointOk, does anyone have <insert random not yet available fansadox comic> yet?
