I have set an Arr stack with qBittorrent utilizing SOCKS5 server set in another country. Am I still under surveillance if I use my local IP address to download .torrent files or use magnet links?

Torrenter tracking is done by media companies using bots to track IP addresses in the peer list. As long as ur real IP doesn’t show up in the peer list u should be good. ISP can track what websites u are accessing but not what u are accessing. And will only remove u if they get DMCA requests from media companies. No assurances but u should be fine. I would personally recommend download magnets over tor and torrent through VPN to obscure Ip.
ISPs aren’t keeping logs on what you go to. They could if a court told them to, but the amount of storage required to keep a tab on ever customer and what they’re visiting is insane. Most companies don’t even attempt this with their own networks because of the storage requirements.
Are u a propaganda bot? We have evidence that the CIA keeps logs of every piece of metadata they can that flows through every ISP in the country. You would be stupid to think other countries don’t do the same.
You do realize how much data that is right? They do not keep everything. It’s not even remotely feasible. This is full on conspiracy bullshit. I worked for an ISP for a few years doing security. They would need a line directly into these ISPs to pull logs. They don’t keep that shit. Stop doing a qanon…chem trails aren’t real.
Bro u are pushing complete bullshit go loot at the Edward Snowden leaks. Here is a good summary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P3P5OkGt8Q
The Snowden leaks did not state this at all. I think you’re getting confused.

This was the main source of data they collected, which was 90+%…and mainly from google and apple…both of which are not ISPs.
I’ll reiterate this once again…ISPs are not logging every single bit of traffic you do, it’s to much data and really dumb idea. Their lawyers would have a fucking shit fit if they did.
Did u watch the yt vid specifically about the room in the ISP?
The argument - that there’s too much data - is a good one, but if that was the case, why would vpn go to the effort of emphasising “no logs policy”. I think ISPs could retain data as it’s likely only very small records (IP, customer ID, timestamp).
Because VPNs are advertised as anonymous privacy, for people geo blocked or needing to avoid dmcas with torrents. It’s literally not in the best interest of the ISP to keep the logs, because A) Storage requirements and B) dealing with legal issues. Don’t keep it and you don’t have to worry about either of those unless you get a court order and are required to collect the logs.
