Hey everyone! One of my main issues with piracy in general are VPNs, because I absolutely HATE subscription services.
As far as i’m concerned, we need VPNs so that when torrenting, people cant see our IP adress and other information that can be potentially used againt us. I’ve heard that there’s people who log those IP adresses so that they can like “report” people doing piracy or sth like that. Correct me if i’m wrong.
So, with this purpose in mind, I understand that VPN services are useful because they can help hide our real information.
But as I said, I dont like subscription services and I saw that there’s the option to selfhost a VPN.
But I thought a bit about it, and, if I’m using a selfhosted VPN using, for example, a raspberry pi or a laptop, isn’t the imformation of that laptop ALSO potentially dangerous? Because it is connected to your own ISP and it has the same location as you have (if you set it up at yout home).
I know this may sound dumb, but I don’t know much about this. And I can’t find information about this.

A better option might be pirating over i2p but I have not tried that yet.
