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.

    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…

    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.

    Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there’s no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈

      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.

    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

    How bizarre, none of the items on the list were actually things I downloaded, and none of the things I downloaded were on the list.

      Public perception isn’t aware of the dynamic and changing nature of most IP addresses.

      Once you are though it’s easy to see why the site might not work or even show incorrect results.

    Sites like these are always useless, they never showed jack shit for me. Because I don’t use public trackers I stick with private ones and those stupid Bots don’t have access to private trackers

        There are plenty of good ones out there, but be ready to invest a lot of time getting into them. The accounts I have I have had for over 10 years and it took probably a good 2 to 3 years to actually get into those better places. You have to actually build up a reputation of maintaining good ratio at smaller sites and get invited by a member. It’s a pain in the ass but it’s also worth it, way better content, way better speeds

        Try to find a place with open registration or someone whose got a spare invite. Ive managed to get into a couple. But to get into the better private trackers it takes time building up your intro private tracker accounts.

    I’ve been using mullvad for a few years—since PIA got bought out—and would recommend it if you’re concerned about trust.

    So, using a VPN doesn’t actually eliminate all possibility of being tracked. All you’re doing is replacing who can potentially see all of your data, from your ISP to the VPN provider, so trust is actually a pretty important factor.

    When I switched the consensus at the time was that mullvad was the most true to its privacy statement, i.e. trustworthy. A lot of other vpns are cheaper or have more bells and whistles, but have histories of data breaches or scandals, are based in countries with weak privacy/strong surveillance laws, or are owned by companies that may have an interest in the customers data (like with the PIA acquisition I mentioned).

    Mullvad too has had a few incidents where they were served court orders to provide data to the police, but iirc no data was ever actually given up. Plus, they allow a bunch of different privacy-centric payment methods, including just sending cash in an envelope.

    I’d recommend taking a look at some more recent discussions comparing VPNs but I think considering mullvad is a good place to start.

      since PIA got bought out

      For what it’s worth, I opted to wait until I had my first issue with PIA after the buyout to switch and it just never really happened. I’ve remained on PIA for my sea-sailing needs, and still haven’t had an ISP email or other problem with them, other than the client being a little janky on occasion.

      I’m not an active advocate or anything, but my experience is that they’re still good enough, even years after the acquisition. Perhaps they’re using the data for something behind the scenes, but it’s cheap and keeps my ISP off my back. I’d at least still consider it in the “good enough for this purpose” category.

    *Results my vary in accuracy due to the nature of dynamic, Shared, or incorrectly assigned IP Addresses.

    Also

    *Results only included from Public trackers, private trackers do not show up.

    it’s literally only porn, who the heck torrents porn?
