    Can’t you generally set the upload rate to zero in some clients? If that’s the case, would you still be transmitting data, or would you just be sending hashes of the data?

    (Of course, if you’re using a good client, like qBittorent, you can also lock the network interface to exclusively use a VPN)

      Yeah you can set up an auto-stop ratio at 0 and it stops without uploading anything. I should probably VPN too but I haven’t cared enough for like 8+ years and nothing’s happened yet
