9.11.5 BitTorrent Security
When you download using BitTorrent, you reveal your IP address. This increases
the risk of hacking attacks, which can be protected against by a good firewall.
Use a Hardware-based Firewall
Place a hardware-based firewall between your network and the Internet (a
software-based firewall on your computer would just protect the computer itself,
not the NSA since your computer is not between your NSA and the Internet).
