There seems to be a sub-group of salty dogs that sail without protection. They are often US saying they get lots of letters from ISP but nothing comes of it, lately. I’m one to hedge on the side of caution and will be continuing to use VPN but just wondering how much this is just a loud minority and how much truth is to it?
I only use a vpn on public trackers, on private trackers I don’t use a vpn.
But generally if you don’t live in a third world country you should almost always use a vpn. I live in Germany and luckily my ISP doesn’t care about torrenting.
OP here living on the edge.
I usually only download through my seedbox located in NL.
Luckily a VPN connection is included with my seedbox and recently had a reason to use it for torrenting from a private page.
What ISP are you using?
My current ISP is VSE, Innogy highspeed, E.on Highspeed or whatever name they’ll be using next. They change their name every few months or so
Sadly they do CG-NAT which is a dealbreaker for me :/
They offer a dedicated IP for around 1 Euro per month. Recently I noticed they also enabled IPv6 natively
Still stuck with someone not willing to go >50mbit/s at home. I will try to keep them in mind once it comes to it ;)
Thank you!
