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.

      Sometimes quantity is more important than quality. Hard drives ain’t free.

      Could be worse. Someone sharing my IP is into really freaky stuff like “kubuntu-23.10-desktop-amd64.iso”

    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.

      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.

    I haven’t used torrents for years, and it’s showing stuff. Not on a VPN currently, and it’s showing the wrong location (a bit outside my city).

    Anyone know why?

      Probably because you have a dynamic IP so it shows torrents from other people.

      The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect

      If you would like a more technical explanation search for CG-NAT. It allows ISP’s to share a single static public facing IP with several customers at once.

      If you had a true static IP that never changed you’ve only see results about torrents downloaded using your router.

    The folks on similar IPs to me really like porn.

    I’m on Nord. I know a lot of folks on here diss it, but I’ve been mostly happy with it.

    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

      The right answer is indeed in the comments. Let them sue me for downloading before I go pay for helping pedos out

    Huh, my page is empty.

    Put one in the win column for Surfshark. (and a tip of the hat to TopCashBack, who is rebating me 80-90% of my recent 2 year renewal)

    I love this website. It’s usually pretty accurate, except for…

    MyDaughtersHotFriend.23.06.07.Freya.Von.Doom.XXX.1080p.HEVC.x265.PRT[XvX]

    I think I’d remember those…

    Cool. The government is incompetent and tech illiterate here so I’m safe anyway. It’s like running from a bear, I just have to outrun the others running from it.

    There are people who pirate stuff from telegram using their mobile numbers, so I’m fine.
