So the solution is to what… ? Raw dog it?

• mutually assured destruction: if a VPN starts leaking network activity it’s suicide for their business model
• distribution of concerns: VPN services as a rule don’t give a shit about your torrent traffic the way a copyright holder might care about your IP

If you’re out here creampie-ing the whole internet you don’t have either of those barriers but you still carry all of that risk.

Even condoms very rarely break that doesn’t make them in general useless. Perfection is the enemy of progress.

Perhaps? It works just fine for me but I’m a bit of a filthy casual who doesn’t torrent all that much

You need to pay for a VPN. It’s like a condom for the internet. Frankly, stop trying to avoid something that you should already be using.

Mullvad is a good start. Go purchase it.
