I was just reading through the interview process for RED, and they specifically forbid the use of VPN during the interview. I don’t understand this requirement, and it seems like it would just leak your IP address to the IRC host, which could potentially be used against you in a honeypot scenario. Once they have your IP, they could link that with the credentials used with the tracker while you are torrenting, regardless of if you used VPN while torrenting.

    Agree. None of these lemmings must have interviewed for MaM either. FnP didn’t have that requirement, I don’t think, but it’s not out of the ordinary for private tracker interviews.
