If you're downloading regularly, you need to spend the $4 to buy access to a private, exclusive high-anon SOCKS5 proxy, even with "private" trackers.

Much like the Wendy's wifi question, how will this be handled with businesses? All our user hit the net with the same IP address, so if Bob and Nancy in accounting are downloading bit torrents, does the business get a notice?

Probably, and it should still be traceable by the company, as each machine has its own IP (even if they use the same IP to access the web).WebFire;1302781 wrote:Much like the Wendy's wifi question, how will this be handled with businesses?

Hell, my employer installs keyloggers on all its corporate machines in addition to monitoring all web activity.
Private laptop and Internet source at work FTW!

We actually don't at the moment. We will early next year, but we have nothing to monitor outgoing traffic. I doubt AT&T is going to screw with my connection that I pay them $1500/mo for.O-Trap;1302784 wrote:Probably, and it should still be traceable by the company, as each machine has its own IP (even if they use the same IP to access the web).

Nah. The providers care far less what you're doing as long as they're getting paid.WebFire;1302823 wrote:We actually don't at the moment. We will early next year, but we have nothing to monitor outgoing traffic. I doubt AT&T is going to screw with my connection that I pay them $1500/mo for.

Does that wreak havoc for doing online banking? My banks are getting really picky with security, which is good, but I'd think hitting my accounts from anon proxies would cause some hiccups.O-Trap;1302779 wrote:This.

Anyway, I don't download so not a concern of mine.

You can turn it on and off as you like. Use it for downloading, then stop using it when you do anything else.
