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?

Use I2P guys. The more the better. It is Foss and is 100 times better then any VPN. It is only a bit slower sometimes.

Just use I2P? Can you access public trackers via I2P or do you have to use the crap internal ones?

Recent qbitorrent update supports cross sharing between public/i2p users.

But people have to enable the option, most public trackers aren't aware off and most private trackers are not into sharing their well builded closed piracy club money making scheme
