U/pennyhoard20 was a great help in understanding what was actually going wrong. I'll update this post with whether or not I actually did it properly (i.e. Wanted to share what I landed on since I had a pretty hard time figuring out how to configure deluge to safely use a VPN. # Settings before my last DCMA Technology: NORDLYNX

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. If I'm downloading from a honeypot, they should only see my VPN's IP, or at least, that's how I understand it. I don't think anything is being downloaded to my PC, and even if it was, only the torrent site(s) (1337x and Pirate Bay) should be able to know my actual IP.

Though, I can't imagine how this would be the problem, because I have my deluge client connected to the server and I'm using magnet links. The only other important note I can think of is that I am using another computer which is not on the VPN to add torrents. Set up a proxy in deluge following this tutorial. Set DNS servers to Google's DNS (Maybe there's some better options?). Disabled IP v6 on the server (Though, I think the `nordvpn` daemon was already effectively disabling it). Since the last email, I've done a few other things, though I'm not sure how effective they will be at keeping my traffic hidden. I've since changed a few things, but my settings as of my last DCMA email are listed below. I'm really not sure how they're tracking me. I've checked with and other services to ensure that my Cox IP isn't being leaked, and it looks fine.

However, I'm still getting DCMA emails from Cox. I've got Ubuntu 22.04 running with deluged and nordvpn. Hi, I've fairly recently set up what I thought would be a secure home server for torrenting.
