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…

Make sure you bind your qbittorrent network interface to the vpn interface and check for any leaks. Test it by suddenly turning vpn off midway through to see if anything leaks.
I’ve found the best way to check for leaks with torrenting is by using ipleak.net. They have a feature which will tell you the address it sees you torrenting from. Super handy.
Yep, this is what I use as well
VPN worked for me and others all through uni, adding in the seed box layer seems even better.
Get a seedbox. It’s 100% safe
only thing in the universe/multiverse that is 100% certain…
is humans overestimating certainty.
Use a VPN all the time, not only when you need it.
If you want to buy a little insurance for your self look into getting a seed box. Then you can download from the seed box with a VPN over sftp. I would think that would be pretty hard to determine what you’re doing but I don’t know enough about it to speak confidently one way or the other.
At my uni you get kicked out if they catch you doing that, so I wouldnt risk doing it on school wifi. I dont know how it is at your uni but at mine they get suspicious when you use a VPN. I would just pirate at a public wifi (Café ect.).
