I’ve been using quad 9 dns for years and torrenting without issues.

These laws are made just to make happy the people getting rich with calcio streamings and alike. IPTV and stuff is enforced, for the rest it’s just business as usual

    I'm sure your aware but for people who aren't... Only changing your DNS doesn't hide your traffic, only your DNS query. They can't see you are resolving 1337x.to but they CAN see you access 104.31.16.118. This is why a VPN is important as it stops your ISP from seeing all of your traffic.

    Yep, good to note for other people. I’m aware but here torrenting is kinda allowed. If you do it for yourself and without any profit motive you can just keep going without any kind of issue

    The dns change is just to not have to use proxies to access stuff like libgen and piratebay in my case :)

    DNS as a protocol is in general clear text. Your provider can see what you query regardless.
