Avoid free public trackers without moderation if you don’t want to compromise your safety. It’s preferable to torrent on private trackers with a trustworthy VPN to avoid online dangers like viruses, trojans, and adware. Private torrent trackers also often have strict rules that prevent them from collecting your web data. Here are some public trackers sites that have proved to be unreliable: TorrentFunk — Tracks your activities and is full of intrusive ads, while having a pretty limited library. TorrentBay — Doesn’t have a reliable curation, meaning it can contain malicious software in files. YourBittorrent — An outright dangerous site with countless pop-ups and malicious software.
