My ISP shut off my Internet for a full day until I contacted them & asked for a Technician to come out & fix it. They knew why they shut if off & it would be wasting resources sending out a Technician  for something they can do on their Computer. So the next day I woke up & my Internet was back on. I didn't say anything about any Copyright Letter. I dodged that one.

I will be Streaming from now on instead of Downloading because it's the Seeding that actually get you caught cause you are sharing it with others when you Seed. It's Streaming for me from now on. Thanks to appdoze I got Avira Phantom Pro VPN & it seems to be working good. I don't know if they can send out a Copyright Letter or shut off my internet for Streaming but who knows. Thanks to everyone here who chimed in & gave good advice.

If you're now using a VPN then your ISP can't see what downloading/seeding or anything else you do whilst connected to your VPN, all they see is that you're connected to your VPN. They can however see how much traffic you're using. If you have unlimited bandwidth then there is no reason to stop using torrents.

like sherb said, unless your using a it for free then ild still recommend paying for one.

I did an IP Leak Test & it said that IPv6 test not reachable. (timeout) & Fallback: Fail (timeout). No forwarded IP detected. If you are using a proxy, it's a transparent proxy. Browser default: IPv4 (180 ms) What does all that mean?

My IP Address was the one that my VPN Provided from another place.

I have installed WebRTC Leak Prevent on Chrome. I don't know what that does but I've read that it gives you more protection. I don't know about all this PC Stuff. Thanks for helping me understand all this stuff. I'm trying to become a better :_8).

"My IP Address was the one that my VPN Provided from another place."

that's what you want to see.

https://ipleak.net/

click the above link and note what it says about webrtc.... ie: If you are now connected to a VPN and you see your ISP IP, then your system is leaking WebRTC requests

If you can not see your REAL ip then chill

EDIT: don't fret about the IPv6... I get the same result

EDIT #2: If your worried about using a client you could always get yourself a seedbox. From there you could seed till your hearts content and transfer any content you've downloaded to your seedbox to your PC/lappy via a SFTP app like filezilla or similar, if you want extra security then connect to the SFTP app via your VPN, but there really is no need as all traffic is encrypted anyway.
Filezilla is free btw.

Whatever you are using by way of vpn/proxy just make sure to turn it "ON" or you may get another love letter from your Internet provider.  :_:)

@Sherb: that's the first site I used was IP Leak dot net. It just says Your IP addresses WebRTC detection. And it is the one provided by my VPN & not my real IP Address -  It says for AIR VPN NO. What does NO Mean for Air VPN? Thanks for telling me about the Seedbox.


@PhoenixHunter: I make sure my VPN is always on & it has a Kill Switch as well. I've used several IP Leak Sites to check for my IP Leak & none of them give out my real IP. So I think I am good. Thanks guys.
