To torrent or not to torrent

420droid420droid
in Android VPN Setup
Using the Pia app and Ttorrent...I use an ipv6 app to check ipv6 leak..all good

Is it correct to assume any ipv6 leak will only come from webrtc in chrome?

Other than that I don't know of any torrent app that binds pia ip..

I don't have enough experience to know how well the kill switch will work to keep me anonymous.

Any suggestions?

    Use AFWall+ and set it to only allow your torrent client over VPN.

    Thanks for the suggestion I really appreciate it. Liking the looks of that app. I'll have to look into root.

    What's the general consensus on using all this while torrenting and general apps running/transferring whatever "personal data" in the background....bad juju?

    I think an ideal mobile scenario would be flashing a ROM that had no Google services pre-installed, like CyanogenMod, and using VPN and firewall. But it might be enough to disable auto-syncing, background data etc. whilst torrenting and/or use a different firewall ruleset to lock down everything but the torrent client and PIA (and whatever system stuff is needed).

    You can check with an app like OS Monitor which connections are being made by what app.
