I heard that in some countries you can get fined for using torrents or seeding beyond a certain limit (Das Deutschlandlied intensifies). How to seed so that no idiot government would get hands on the fact that you are downloading torrents? I am pretty sure I can do this using Tails OS but what else? Is there a safe way to SEED TILL YOU BLEED?
It would have been nice if we (someone but not me) could have created a website where we could read a particular country’s law and how to torrent safely from there.
So, how do you hide your IP from the peers?
As long as you want them to send data to you, they have to know where to send that data. So there is no possibility to not have an IP. Except from shutting down your bittorrent client.
You can get a different IP though. An IP address that isn’t traceable to you. And use that IP. But you definitely need one, or you can’t receive data. At least the way bittorrent works. That would be a VPN or service provider who doesn’t tell on you, or another layer like TOR.
[Edit: Sorry. Might have misread your comment. Updated my previous reply. Use a VPN for example]
