How does this firm (or whatever it is) know I torrented something? My VPN app took a shit in the middle of a download and I think it exposed my IP to some “anti-piracy” bullshit firm that contacted my ISP. ISP emailed to let me know and to “not do it again”. How does this firm know about torrenting? Do they like watch these sites and hope someone’s VPN slips like mine did today?
Bind your torrent client to your VPN interface so that if the VPN loses connection for whatever reason, nothing downloads or uploads via your client.
be careful, sometimes it’s a scam or a cash grab with no legal basis.
Thank you. That was actually a legit email
Many places have laws in place currently stating that you can’t be personally identified by your IP. So if you get emails about piracy and copyright issues coming from a law firm representing rightsholders, the best course of action is usually to ignore them. Responding to them is essentially admitting that you’re the person they’re looking for and that you committed the offense in question.
They watch the swarm. You can view connections of the swarm. They see your ISP owned IP and send an email.
Fuckers, but how can they see it behind the VPN?

I think you answered your own question.
This site is kinda cool
