Hey there! I want to start torrenting (again) but this time I want to specifically make sure that I don't get in legal trouble since I have gotten in some previously because of torrenting in Germany (paradise for copyright trolls as it turns out) without any precautions.

I have a VPN (PIA) and downloaded qBittorrent and setup that it only uses the PIA wireguard tunnel. I have checked on a few sites that my IP isn't leaking while torrenting (https://ipleak.net ; https://www.top10vpn.com/tools/do-i-leak/ and a few others). There are no leaks but I still wanna be rather safe than sorry so I am asking you guys for some help.

I have gotten access recently to a private tracker and will most likely only torrent there.

Would appreciate some help :)
