The biggest dangers of downloading/uploading torrent files without a VPN or proxy

By far the biggest risk of

downloading/uploading torrents is that majority of the content under consideration is copyrighted material. Hence, you may possibly get entangled in legal issues, if you don’t properly hide your identity.

It’s no news that torrent users are constantly under the watch of different surveillance agencies these days. In fact, ISPs also monitor them on a regular basis. Any trace of downloading illegal torrent files or copyrighted material can lead to legal consequences. The resultant legal actions may include issuance of DMCA-like notices, cancellation of ISP’s license and imposition of huge fines.
