“PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server, but ultimately leaves you the choice to switch back to regular streaming exclusively from the server of the video.“

It is advised that when you use Peertube that you also use a VPN or Tor browser as your IP will be visible to others while using Peertube.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to recommend a VPN or Tor. Should be the same risk profile as torrenting except legal in all places. Also, this information may be out of date, but I believe it is considered poor etiquette to use the Tor network for bandwidth heavy stuff like this. I know they used to put out PSAs about torrenting on the network.
