Those proxies aren’t encrypted in any way, even if it’s one with user/pass authentication access. They’ll obfuscate your IP from other users, such as torrenters, but there’s a risk your ISP will still see unencrypted headers between you and the proxy.

It’s possible you’d risk an aneurysm in our Walmart parking lot.
Use a vpn and you’ll be fine, otherwise if someone savvy is in charge, they may have blocked torrent protocols, or may block your device if they notice. Ditto on Pon’s comments about possible usage caps. Or time caps before having to log in again. Either of which could be worked around if you’re able to spoof your device MAC address to connect again.
Well, if you’re not in a country that cares about torrenting or related legal action, torrenting without a VPN provides faster speeds since everything isn’t being encrypted, and port forwarding can allow connections that may not occur without.
My VPN service offers a private SOCKS5 proxy w/ Auth for faster torrenting without encryption, that still masks your IP from other torrenters, but I don’t use it since there’s still a risk of my ISP seeing some traffic with unencrypted headers, and sending notices. I just stick with VPN and slower speeds.
Yes, I meant that while using a VPN (which is the safest and most recommended) that port forwarding doesn’t work anyway, so don’t worry about port forwarding.
Also, if the newest version of photoshop on torrentgalaxy isn’t as new as the version you can download direct from adobe (as a trial you can unlock to full with a product code), you usually can still use the most recent crack on TG with the direct download from adobe. (Usually, I haven’t tested lately.)
And it usually doesn’t work with VPNs anyway.
I’ve been getting haxnode’s adobe releases from torrentgalaxy. They’ve passed scans by Bitdefender without issue and function as expected.
edit: pre-activated vs w/crack probably doesn’t matter, but I’ve used the non-pre-activated w/crack releases.
Ok, that one is a legitimate concern.

Feel free to rage on. Meanwhile, none of you actually looked to see what was going on there.
Appears to be an african american lady telling everyone they’re fine to be what they are.
Both were on the same day
Frankly I can find better reasons to mute that account, it’s a constant stream of lists, memes, etc… but racism doesn’t appear to be one of them.
edit: just like to congratulate OP on rage baiting lemmy by failing to investigate the account for context. It matters.
I would avoid it, as it may use the alternate instead of the pihole at anytime. If you want redundancy, it’s best to have a second pihole.
