So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍
Sure they don't. Just be aware that if you're using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:

That's why Jesus invented VPNs.
I thought it was Budda.
They co-authored it.
Swell guys they are. Although Jesus could have done without leaving behind his cult... they have been awfully destructive throughout history...
I believe we determined that Jesus invented Buddha and Buddha invented VPNs. So, by extension we could say without Jesus, there would be no VPNs. Also, no corn chips.
so it is settled!
Oh no! Anyway...
Edit: checked the IP of my seedbox and about 75% of the entries listed aren't valid. Weird.
But also don't panic out thinking someone on your network might have been torrenting weird stuff as you may just be behind CG-NAT or have dynamically assigned IP address.
If you do have static public IP, consider the possibility of someone using your wireless connection without permission (even if you changed the password, don't forget to disable WPS PIN, or at the very least change it from default PIN, it's easy to forget about).
This is awesome. I'm looking at all the stuff my VPN mates are downloading and they have good taste.
If you have ever connected to a DHT network your address will be associated with more things than you can count. I've been running a DHT indexer/crawler and that page shows me shit I've never seen before in my life
