    You won’t get caught torrenting. This has nothing to do with encryption. You are at the mercy of the site owner, who has a lot of server bills and can make money by putting viruses on your computer.

      Why wont you get caught torrenting then? If this hasnt got anything to do with encryption 😉

      It is safe if you use DNSSEC and TLS-only connections.

      Otherwise, your ISP could still see that traffic. When using custom DNS, that server could see it.

      A danger would only occur when an adversary would host a honeypot site, which is likely illegal.

      Was really interesting to understand why Torrenting is so easy to discover.

      I2P for everyone then?
