    I mean it is likely also safer as it is encrypted?

    Using a VPN service and installing qBittorrent is pretty easy though

      If there’s one thing I’ve learned working in IT, it’s to not underestimate people’s inability to grasp even to most simple of technical tasks.

      You won’t get caught torrenting. This has nothing to do with encryption. You are at the mercy of the site owner, who has a lot of server bills and can make money by putting viruses on your computer.

        Why wont you get caught torrenting then? If this hasnt got anything to do with encryption 😉

        It is safe if you use DNSSEC and TLS-only connections.

        Otherwise, your ISP could still see that traffic. When using custom DNS, that server could see it.

        A danger would only occur when an adversary would host a honeypot site, which is likely illegal.

        Was really interesting to understand why Torrenting is so easy to discover.

        I2P for everyone then?
