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 did mine at an Airbnb. It is a home address but not mine. Make sure you’re on a resedential IP though. You can often tell them your using a VPN and there by never share a real IP.
I have never trusted private tracker security who usally depend to security through obscurity which is BS.
