Hello, I would like some info about VPN usage at private trackers. I know it is a per-tracker policy but I notice many being a bit hostile toward em.

Example: A user would like to join a tracker, put a seedbox to help em seeding et al, but even while they allow VPN usage, they don’t allow signup with the VPN on (and that absolutely defeats the reason of not having the user’s real IP/time logged to a server that may be somehow attacked or forced to give theirs users details for some reason, even if that never happened before in such server). In that case the user would be de-“pseudonimizing” all their future use of the site via VPN since if their users details ever leak that could bind the future use of the site trough a VPN to the initial non-vpn IP address. This example affects every PHD sister sites, I believe.

So, I have some questions on that issue, if someone could help:

• 1. What is the ideal way to proceed in such situation? Are socks5 or other methods better accepted to unbind the use of the tracker site to the user IP address? (I’m talking about the trackers not even being able to handle such information in case something goes wrong. Not about an ISP or whoever else. Legality is not the concern here, but the very existence of the info itself).
• 2. Is there any place where we can find this info about trackers policies on VPNs? I did search but never found anything unified.
• 3. What trackers you know that simply don’t care about the use of VPN? Which ones “don’t care” but asks you to tell them (configure) your vpn details? Which ones absolutely don’t allow them?

Thanks to anyone who can shed a light on these questions!
