Is this mode needed if you're using a VPN to hide your IP address? The page states only the following:

If you're using VPN, proxy or I2P, you probably want to enable Anonymous Mode.

What I would like to know is why the developer statement is true? And does it affect download/seeding speeds?

In my experience most entry level private trackers allow using VPNs. I don't know about anonymous mode, I have never heard about it before.

I didn't take the MAM interview so I can't speak on that front. All of my stuff is from OpenSignups.
