There are already several posts on this topic, but I wanted to have a more up to date answer. The secure wifi uses my personal school account to sign in so that might not be the best idea, however the guest wifi is open to everyone so that may be a better idea. I also know to use a VPN and bind my torrenting client to the VPN. Anything else I should know? Or is the entire idea dead in the water? I’ve pirated before but never with several thousand dollars on the line…
Also make sure in the torrent client that you have the correct network adapter set. In QBittorrent (windows) it’s under advanced. Then when you are torrenting something you can check your network traffic and on Windows you can see where it’s going and make sure it’s going through your VPN.
