    I use a VPN and it’s on a kill switch, so if it gets disconnected for whatever reason, the machine can’t reach the internet at all.

    I can’t imagine why a private tracker would disallow you from using a VPN

      There used to be issues with tracking ratios when using a VPN. And since many private trackers require users to maintain a specific ratio, it meant that many private trackers effectively banned VPNs. Because if you were using a VPN, you’d be stuck at a 0.00 ratio and quickly get banned.

        I use a VPN and maintain a ratio. They must use something other than IP address as a unique identifier.
