Sorry,I should have written P2P. A vpn is advisable for public tracker torrents but not necessary for private trackers. Yes torrents can/are also p2p but public trackers are, by nature, not necessarily safe to use your real IP on. With soulseek you're downloading directly from one user's computer so the risk of getting a criminal charge is basically nonexistent as far as I know. https://www.reddit.com/r/Soulseek/comments/qs4qud/im_new_at_soulseek_do_i_need_to_use_vpn/
By the way, anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in any way here
