          I have never used a VPN for torrenting. Ride into the danger zone :dean-malice:

          For gods sake at least use a peer blocker and don’t seed if you are not using VPN.

          Fed monitoring your torrent: huh, MaoistLandlord is seeding to me from Cincinnati, OH. I’ll send them a letter

            Peer blockers aren't enough, because your IP is still in the swarm. They help reduce the amount of junk data that you receive from malicious peers (e.g., film/recording industry shills that spew bad torrent segments), but you're still identifiable.

            If you're not using a VPN, a seedbox hosted somewhere with decent/Interpol-hostile privacy laws is a good option.

          Basically closes off your internet connection if the VPN connection lapses.

          Edit: VPNs usually advertise it as a feature. I use Mulvad and it has it.
