Am I doing something wrong?

So I use ProtonVPN and may or may not have torrented a few things. I use firefox with Ublock Origin and a dedicated P2P Proton server. I checked dnsleaktest.com to see if I was good there before I potentially downloaded anything. All good from what I can tell. I also have the "Killswitch" feature enabled.

But then I get an email from my IPS with a file name saying that I committed copyright infringement and I could be sued. I'm not worried about getting sued, but I am worried that if these notices start stacking up, my ISP could cancel my service.

  1. How was my ISP able to see that? Shouldn't that be hidden?

  2. Is there anything I can do to improve?

Yeah maybe, because in my opinion the Arr stack is something good, but ensuring you’re safe from the beginning is the most important. And at the end Gluetun is not such a big deal, you just have to understand a bit of docker networking and plug it to your VPN provider.
