I meant to, but was rudely interrupted by a skeleton swordsman this morning.

My client is configured to reject all non-encrypted peer connections. It sacrifices some potential seeds but is worth the added defense in depth if ever my VPN fails catastrophically. Openvpn client to an obscure VPN service. All media gets passed through clamAV before being accessed.

While on the hunt for treasure, my browser is configured to send DNS traffic over Tor. All web pages only get to load HTML and images, and they (torrent sites) remain perfectly functional without anything else. DDG search with the old tricks '1080p', 'full', 'HEVC', 'x264/x265', 'ep0_/se0_', '.mkv' and so on.

I rotate my treasure chests between ships.
