I wonder if there's a way to obscure IPs on the side of a torrent tracker. Like an inverse VPN.

The torrent protocol is peer-to-peer, all clients connect directly to each other. The tracker is just there to tell how clients to connect to each other, and that requires IP addresses.

I don’t think that’s true for I2P torrents; there are a number of hops between you, the tracker and peers.
