Many people suggest using a proxy or a Tor browser as a PeerBlock alternative. Still, it isn't recommended to use them because they don't offer the desired level of online protection. A proxy acts as an intermediary server that enables you to use the IP address of the proxy server and you are anonymous over the web. Similarly, by providing layered encryption and routing your IP address multiple times, the Tor browser hides your IP address.  But the problem with the two is that they both don't encrypt your data. Anyone who can trace you back via your IP address can know that you were involved in downloading torrents. Meanwhile, the Tor browser offers anonymity and privacy, but it isn't the right choice to download torrents. Also, the Tor browser has severe security flaws and vulnerabilities, so you should avoid it.  As a whole, proxy and Tor browser aren't the best option for downloading torrenting. You should consider using a VPN instead.
