I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?

    Someone else who uses the same VPN as I is really into butt stuff. I have to question their commitment to 480p though.

    And this is why - all together now - “An IP is not an ID”. They don’t know what you’ve downloaded; they know what some number of IP addresses have downloaded from some trackers at some points, and you might be have been assigned one of those IPs after the fact. They aren’t useful, alone.

    Home internet was empty. Mobile internet has a few Marvel movies and shit like that. VPN has child porn.

    Feels pretty icky to share the same ip as some people downloading those lame ass movies

    Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there’s no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈

      Must be the server you are connecting to. Most of mine is not porn like Last Week Tonight and the stuff that is porn is pretty vanilla stuff like Hookup Hotshots and Kinky Family.

    the results for me are hilarious, who knew people in my general area downloaded so much porn… and… weird porn at that

    it’s literally only porn, who the heck torrents porn?

    I’ll admit, this spooked me, but for different reasons than the OP and most comments.

    I didn’t recognize any of the downloads, even though I have a publicly routable static IP and don’t use a VPN (I have a domain and self host so I know my IP hast changed in years).

    I use exclusively private trackers, and nothing I’ve actually downloaded showed up, and the things that did were sporadic—one every couple days or so, first/last seen times identical, random torrents. I started asking myself if I had a rogue device in my network, so I checked logs and stats—nothing unusual (I think…I hope…hard to tell sometimes).

    I looked more into how this site tracks peers, and it seems they have different levels of confidence. Their first API tier (peer API) is a “best guess” and this is based on listening to the DHT and PeX networks for their known torrents. I’m guessing their website uses this or a combination of this with their other APIs. I looked at my torrent config and saw I hadn’t disabled DHT/PeX and had a couple idle public torrents.

    Not positive on this, but I think there can be false positives if your torrent box participates in DHT/PeX even if it doesn’t actually download said torrents. Can anyone confirm this?

    *Results my vary in accuracy due to the nature of dynamic, Shared, or incorrectly assigned IP Addresses.

    Also

    *Results only included from Public trackers, private trackers do not show up.

    Website is blank for me. I guess that just confirms my suspicions that a VPN would be a waste of money for me personally
