I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your torrenting history?

    I wouldn’t join a private tracker that requires me to expose my real IP. It doesn’t sound serious at all.

      Thanks, still some apparently major ones require it, might be the case that I need to keep looking for alternatives.
