I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?
Someone else who uses the same VPN as I is really into butt stuff. I have to question their commitment to 480p though.
Could be worse. Someone sharing my IP is into really freaky stuff like “kubuntu-23.10-desktop-amd64.iso”
23.10? Non LTS?? What a disgusting freak!
Really tame vanilla stuff over here, I’m seeing debian-12.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
Kubuntu? Whore.
I have to question their commitment to 480p though.
Sometimes quantity is more important than quality. Hard drives ain’t free.
But hard-ons are apparently.
“Son i could really care less about what you’re watching but why in gods name are you watching it in low definition??” 😆
Butts, sisters, and breeding for the VPN IP I tried out!
And this is why - all together now - “An IP is not an ID”. They don’t know what you’ve downloaded; they know what some number of IP addresses have downloaded from some trackers at some points, and you might be have been assigned one of those IPs after the fact. They aren’t useful, alone.
I Know What You Download From A Select Few Public Trackers We Monitor
Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there’s no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈
My fellow Windscribe VPN users are downloading some freaky shit.
Some guy on Nord downloaded “FacialAbuse E918 MILFs Cervix Gets Dilated And Sucks In Breeding Batter XXX 1080p HEVC x265 PRT[XvX]” >.>
Personally I feel that E933 is where the series really hit its stride
Must be the server you are connecting to. Most of mine is not porn like Last Week Tonight and the stuff that is porn is pretty vanilla stuff like Hookup Hotshots and Kinky Family.
Home internet was empty. Mobile internet has a few Marvel movies and shit like that. VPN has child porn.
Feels pretty icky to share the same ip as some people downloading those lame ass movies
So they’re giving you a magnet link to child porn? Nice. Sue them.
The right answer is indeed in the comments. Let them sue me for downloading before I go pay for helping pedos out
Lol it’s blank.
Mine was full of stuff, all of it incorrect. Which I assume means my VPN is doing its job lol
This legitimately is only showing me Linux ISOs… Huh… Guess I’m good to go then!
It is always a joy to see what my virtual neighbors download… Some have a very refined… Taste.
the results for me are hilarious, who knew people in my general area downloaded so much porn… and… weird porn at that
it’s literally only porn, who the heck torrents porn?
some of the most hilariously sounding things on that list:
very nsfw
- FATAL ECSTASY.rar
- I was looking for work as a voice actor but I was made to do a motion capture sex.rar
- Picking up girl on the way home from a live show and having sex!.rar
- Divine Fuck VR ~Sex Worship~
- Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar
- ReEro - Ejaculating in Another World ver.2.0 [EnglishMTL].rar
- Intercourse Study Week.rar
- Sailor Girl Stuck In A Wall.rar
Just when I think nothing can surprise me anymore.
Surrounded by Randals. --> NSFW language.
who the heck torrents porn?
People with very specific tastes, apparently.
Lol somebody using the same VPN as me downloaded a 275 GB collection of some porn star’s videos… 5 hours in the future
(I know about time zones, don’t @ me)

Being behind IPv6 CGNAT mean I see other’s people downloads too with “my” ip
Does CGNAT protect from ISP letters?
Because for all the pain it causes me, it should at least be useful for something
I’ve never pirated anything, of course, but I also never got a letter since I was switched to CGNAT
I can see hundreds of downloads and none are mine lol
It also thinks I’m in North America when I’m in Australia (currently no VPN to view it), which is the first site that put me outside the country
I’ve been using mullvad for a few years—since PIA got bought out—and would recommend it if you’re concerned about trust.
So, using a VPN doesn’t actually eliminate all possibility of being tracked. All you’re doing is replacing who can potentially see all of your data, from your ISP to the VPN provider, so trust is actually a pretty important factor.
When I switched the consensus at the time was that mullvad was the most true to its privacy statement, i.e. trustworthy. A lot of other vpns are cheaper or have more bells and whistles, but have histories of data breaches or scandals, are based in countries with weak privacy/strong surveillance laws, or are owned by companies that may have an interest in the customers data (like with the PIA acquisition I mentioned).
Mullvad too has had a few incidents where they were served court orders to provide data to the police, but iirc no data was ever actually given up. Plus, they allow a bunch of different privacy-centric payment methods, including just sending cash in an envelope.
I’d recommend taking a look at some more recent discussions comparing VPNs but I think considering mullvad is a good place to start.
since PIA got bought out
For what it’s worth, I opted to wait until I had my first issue with PIA after the buyout to switch and it just never really happened. I’ve remained on PIA for my sea-sailing needs, and still haven’t had an ISP email or other problem with them, other than the client being a little janky on occasion.
I’m not an active advocate or anything, but my experience is that they’re still good enough, even years after the acquisition. Perhaps they’re using the data for something behind the scenes, but it’s cheap and keeps my ISP off my back. I’d at least still consider it in the “good enough for this purpose” category.
Website is blank for me. I guess that just confirms my suspicions that a VPN would be a waste of money for me personally
Same here.
I suspect they can only track certain public torrents
