Torrenting exposes your public IP. In a country where government doesn't care, does that pose a risk?
I honestly don't believe I will have any legal trouble because I don't do anything like cp or worse, I just pirate media I like, not even porn. But across users of communities, or on public trackers, is IP exposure something to be concerned about?

I accidentally turned off my VPN for like a few minutes while torrenting and Comcast immediately wagged their finger at me. Cover your ass.
You need a killswitch. When my VPN goes down it terminates the BitTorrent process
What happens if you start the torrent client without the VPN already running?
Bind your torrent client to the VPN interface, then you won't even need a killswitch.
Word to the wise.
