It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

It's becoming impossible to monitor. I have 5G Broadband Internet and I share a public IP address with everyone in my area. I look at https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com and it shows thousands of torrents that my neighbors have pulled downloaded.

I use proton VPN for torrenting. It doesn't show I've downloaded anything. I think that means my VPN is working? 😅

What is this site? It feels like it's a tool for anti-privacy copyright narcs. A domain it links to is "antitor.com."

Especially since it specifically highlights porn in a different color, it labeled my VPN IP as "Likes Porn".

Weird... I looked up the IP for my church group's forum and it said the same thing.

Wow it actually knew 5 of the 50 torrents I downloaded recently

Didn't find anything from me... Then again I'm using a private tracker, which should insulate me from that. (Random people knowing, the ISP probs does know... But I don't think they care)

I didn’t find anything from me either. Since I’m using Alldebrid to download torrents. It’s a torrent cache that downloads the torrents to their own server and then you can download directly from those servers at high speed. And most of the time the files are already cached so you can download immediately.
