I saw a big bunch of posts around here discussing the use of VPNs or i2p to torrent. As I seldom download something, I wasn’t too much worried about using my IP. Now I’m using an arr stack and that kicked me in the way to protect my connection a little better. So, what are you all using nowadays for your torrenting?

    thanks for the tip, I’ll look around for it. The improve of speed is great, although not my main focus. My major concern is keep myself anonymous and not receive some legal takedown or something like that.

      If you have got enough local storage capacity then a regular vpn is still by far the cheapest option. Also if you only download from private trackers you might not even need a VPN, since ip trolls tend to stick to public trackers.
