It tells me I've downloaded a bunch of stuff i haven't, and none of the stuff I have.

Your public ISP IP isn’t typically static unless you pay for a static address. So guess you know what the last guy was doing.

Should I be concerned if they are recent downloads? I dunno much about this but some are as recent as half a day ago.

[–] CannedTuna 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not sure. Do you share your network with people?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but they are nowhere near techsavy to know Torrenting is even a thing

This is terrifying. Is the only way to block this information to use a VPN?

[–] CannedTuna 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, use a VPN and make sure it and your network settings are configured properly. I’m running my stuff in a docker image that’s already preconfigured to prevent IP leakage with VPN support.

I only download Linux distributions over a anonymised VPN that exits in Switzerland, falling back to Spain when the Switzerland VPN is not available.
