needing a paid vpn to torrent without getting spooky ISP notices is a pretty big barrier for me tbh :|
Use a p2p block list in your torrent client. Once I started using that the emails stopped.
I use: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/
But there are probably others
A decade ago we figured out blacklists were ineffective. What's changed?
Better blocklists? They're working fine for me.
Blocklists are ineffective by design. Each and every member of the swarm can collect all the data necessary to flag you to your ISP. Obviously any professional collecting this kind of data can avoid a blocklist. There is no such thing as a better blocklist.
