I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?

    I haven’t used torrents for years, and it’s showing stuff. Not on a VPN currently, and it’s showing the wrong location (a bit outside my city).

    Anyone know why?

      Probably because you have a dynamic IP so it shows torrents from other people.

      The IP location in my experience is always very incorrect

      If you would like a more technical explanation search for CG-NAT. It allows ISP’s to share a single static public facing IP with several customers at once.

      If you had a true static IP that never changed you’ve only see results about torrents downloaded using your router.
