WarmApplePieShrek,

I2P is separate from normal internet. It’s not an alternative to VPN.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Cooler and less cool because no exit nodes. It’s fully separate from normal internet.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Private trackers see your ratio because your client tells it to them. If you cheat, you get banned. They can tell you cheat because the seeder reports upload but you don’t report download. You must not use private tracker torrents except on their tracker because it looks like cheating because the other client isn’t connected to their tracker, and you will get banned.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Fine for Tor. But check the rules first so you don’t get banned for duplicate IP.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Not always needed with private trackers.

WarmApplePieShrek,

I2P doesn’t really have exit nodes. You can only browse within the I2P network.

BTGuard

Expensive VPN with less features. Probably made sense 12 or 13 years ago.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Great for privacy. So great, that half the internet won’t let you browse, because they can’t sell you data for money.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Just different. Torrent protocol UTP is based on UDP, it has some advantages, you couldn’t get with Tor

WarmApplePieShrek,

Specifically, it overloads the network. A single VPN server used for torrenting (proton, air, nord, etc) deals more traffic than the whole Tor network.

Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't . So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Works great and supports port forwarding. VPNs don’t rat you out to comcast, they’d lose all their customers.

WarmApplePieShrek,

PF influences reverse connections to you when downloading as well. People can connect to you and upload to you. If the torrent is really badly seeded you might not be able to download it.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Usenet

WarmApplePieShrek,

Try OpenVPN?

WarmApplePieShrek,

If you use OpenVPN, their client doesn’t matter

WarmApplePieShrek,

If they don’t care, you don’t need security.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Those are low risk because the traffic doesn’t go to the internet.

WarmApplePieShrek,

Tor has lots of bandwidth for browsing. Just not for streaming or torrenting. You can use it to browse trackers.
