If your IPS and the local authorities will not do anything if you download, upload and publish anything, what is the bare minimum of security measures you can do? Context: I live in Southamericas, here we have worse thing to deal with.

I just don’t care about any of that at all. I have around 100TB of seeding accumulated over the years, no VPN, zero security measures, nothing ever happened at all.

Meanwhile I went to school one day as a teen and had left the torrent up by accident seeding and 4 days later my isp called my parents saying that there was a huge fine coming my way if I didn’t cut it out. The isp was super small so the company they were the end user and they were nice enough to give us a heads up. The notice said something like 25,000 on it.

They probably cared because of the traffic, not the content.

Even so, this feller apparently has 100TB seeding perpetually… There’s no way 1 movie equals that traffic.

It’s just an anecdote about the other extreme for the sake of having both sides in the comments since I happened to be someone that it really happened to

Same. I keep reading “Use a von” everywhere but I just assume that’s a US thing. In Western Europe I never heard of a single country giving a shit about this

Me too, I have running a tor snowflake and i2pd instance on the same server I am seeding.

Those are low risk because the traffic doesn’t go to the internet.
