I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your torrenting history?
I just never cared. People treat their IP like some secret identity. It’s not as precious as some people think. I go to trackers without VPN all the time. My transmission client is always behind a VPN.
