Kia ora! I would also like to know this. Been sailing the torrential seas for decades now without a VPN. Although I do remember some years ago about a law change (something something National something something The Hobbit something something DMCA something something tax writes off’s) where we got a letter from our ISP warning us about the law change and not to do anything naughty or we would receive a DMCA notice. Nothing has ever come of it since. 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I think it doesn’t have priority at the moment. It used to be a three strike thing anyway so if you get a first strike you can easily enable vpn then :)
Yeah good point. As I just subbed to Easynews which comes with free PrivadoVPN, just configured qbittorrent to use Privado :) Super easy with Docker and https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun

Greetings from across the ditch, I never use vpn for torrents as it’s not actively monitored here at the moment. Is that different over there?

Few years back around Dallas Buyers Club there was a big crackdown and ISPs brought in this 3 strikes rule. People got some letters and warnings.
So I’m not sure what it’s like these days but why take a chance?
