I honestly don’t believe I will have any legal trouble because I don’t do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

    The proxy is also susceptible to application-level threats that the VPN is not.

    You sure about that? I mean, to use a VPN your need some kind of application that could potentially be vulnerable or have some zero day exploits.

    In contrary, a proxy is as simple as to forward your traffic to another computer through a SSH tunnel which doesn’t specially need some kind of application but only relies on lower level package.

    Maybe I misunderstood your comment but If I’m wrong I’m agear to learn something new.
