I was just looking around on different websites for what happened to programs like PeerBlock
Seems like they’re not really too helpful to protect yourself against snitches. But they are helpful for blocking the IP-ranges of advertising companies…

Can swarms see your actual IP even behind a VPN?
If you have your VPN client and torrent application set up correctly, your traffic would all be routed through the VPN and the network would see your VPN IP and not the actual IP of your machine. If you have a private tracker you can probably test this on their site as many will show you which IP they see as you seed.
A few considerations with this- Some VPN services do not support or allow torrenting. Also some trackers have issues with you using multiple IPs etc. so your account could be flagged if you have used different VPN nodes over time.
Thanks a bunch!
