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.

      That’s really the golden ticket there. With a seed box there’s no chance your VPN fails (download stuff on the box directly, you’ll have a secure shell and KVM). That can be a real problem with normal vpns if not configured properly (you need to force traffic through the VPN and reject on failure, while most default to a fail back and will expose your IP.)
