Can I use Tor with Torrent?
Using Torrent clients over Tor is unsafe and not recommended.
We do not recommend using Tor with Torrent. While it may seem like a way to stay anonymous, in practice it creates serious problems:
- Most torrent clients reveal your real IP address to peers, which can deanonymize you even if you're connected through Tor.
- Torrenting through Tor puts unnecessary load and potential legal issues on volunteer exit relay operators. For further details, please see our blog post on the subject.
