I think it is more of a matter of hiding your local ip address from other torrent users.
- _-___________-_ 7y agoWhat's the purpose of that? Genuine question, I'm trying to understand the threat model of another torrent user seeing the IP address that is currently allocated to your router. Is this related to those letters that people sometimes get sent threatening legal action for torrenting?
- sixothree 7y agoquite simply evading copyright strikes or legal filings. I don't know which providers still disconnect your internet after 3 strikes. But I am guessing that's the "threat" here.
