Funds are limited at the moment and i’d rather not have a monthly subscription to worry about.
i’m not in the US, if that changes anything

    Depends on country. Depends on ISP. Look for how your ISP reponds to such things. Should be able to find info on that, I’d hope.

        check if you can find customers who have reported receiving notices in the mail or actions taken on their customer accounts. try to find out what the penalties for violating their policy is.

        if they are pretty active, you might be stuck resorting to encrypting all of your traffic, aka a vpn

        with that vpn and some minor setup in your torrent client you can avoid all of this. for example in qbittorrent there is an option to “bind to interface” and you set it to bind to your vpn interface, so if the vpn goes down all your torrent traffic shuts down.

        i use nord, haven’t had a single issue in years, and i have received notices at multiple addresses in the past. thus… had to get vpn if i wanted to continue safely 😞

        Probably gotta head into the terms of services and Privacist policy they have.
