### Torrenting 🧲
!!!warning
Torrenting can get you in trouble with your ISP, so make sure to use a [VPN](https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/adblock-vpn-privacy#wiki_.25BA_vpn). Most VPNs offer a killswitch to prevent data leaks, but it's much more effective to [bind your VPN to your client](https://redd.it/ssy8vv), preventing it from connecting at all unless your VPN is on.
