Sorry in advance if this isn't the right subforum for this.

I was wondering if you consider it safe to browse torrent sites (not download from them) without a VPN. I have a seedbox set up now (out of the country) and torrent links engage directly into it.

I gave up my my pricey expressvpn account since the seedbox one came with a VPN (although it's slow and takes forever to connect so it's annoying to use).

What do you think? I'm not too worried about being spied on grabbing files off my seedbox via sftp since that would have to include hacking on Comcast's end which I'm pretty sure is illegal. Safe to simply browse sites without it...?

Cheers.
