Aren't peers IPs in the swarm? And on that assumption, wouldn't my IP be one of those? I see whatever my IP is when starting the download of a torrent. Not too familiar with the basic terms, maybe I meant something else.

In the past I actually have had a few slip ups to which nothing has happened, not even a letter. Even as a stupid kid when I first found torrenting I of course wasn't using a VPN. Even with that in mind, I wouldn't trust sailing with nothing. Sailing in the nude feels wrong.

I was using a killswitch and I had qBt binded to my VPN, but I always feel icky when I slip up and leave torrents run unsupervised.

I'm skeptical of changing what works. Haven't had any issues with the VPN I use. I'll keep this in mind for sure nonetheless.
