This is like asking “do you own a second computer?”

Yes let me post PII about my device setup I use for illegal activities to a PUBLIC FORUM

I have a dedicated machine that torrents and seeds 24/7 but for some random thing I use my main pc

if you use a dedicated device for torrents its more because its faster if you try to also open a browser when torrenting big files and its using all your bandwidth it just makes everything slower.if you seed and download a lot that can slow down everything else you do on that device.

I used to torrent on my work machine too lmao

I have a dedicated computer for torrents and I don’t sign into any accounts with it, I also block torrents on my router and bind my client to my VPN seems to work out okay

Yes, I torrent on the same machine where all my personal stuff is. The biggest reason for this is that I don’t have a dedicated machine to torrent 24/7, though I’d definitely like to set that up at some point. I like being able to seed niche torrents to those who need them, and a machine seeding 24/7 would definitely help with that. Also having easy simple access to the downloaded files is always a plus, but there’s a myriad of ways to do this over a local network (pretty sure some torrenting clients even have an option to torrent over LAN).

My torrent client is bound to my VPN’s network interface, and my VPN has a killswitch as well, so I’m not paranoid that things will suddenly leak. Been running this setup for months now without issues.

Currently I’m using a crypto VPS with gluetun for torrenting I swap VPN server every 3 days.

For security reasons I can’t tell you what’s the country I live in but my VPS it’s hosted in Russia.
