Make sure your downloads arenβt leaking.
Came up empty.
This is terrifying. Is the only way to block this information to use a VPN?
Tor, i2p
Yeah, use a VPN and make sure it and your network settings are configured properly. Iβm running my stuff in a docker image thatβs already preconfigured to prevent IP leakage with VPN support.
It tells me I've downloaded a bunch of stuff i haven't, and none of the stuff I have.
Your public ISP IP isnβt typically static unless you pay for a static address. So guess you know what the last guy was doing.
Should I be concerned if they are recent downloads? I dunno much about this but some are as recent as half a day ago.
Not sure. Do you share your network with people?
Yeah, but they are nowhere near techsavy to know Torrenting is even a thing
Sick, came up blank π
Same. Good to know my setup works.
Came up with very precise information.
I only download Linux distributions over a anonymised VPN that exits in Switzerland.
