When enabled, qBittorrent tries to hide its identity to a certain degree: * The peer-ID will no longer include the client's fingerprint. * The user-agent will be reset to an empty string. -* Trackers will only be used if they are connected via proxy server. -* The listening sockets are closed, and incoming connections will only be accepted through SOCKS5 or I2P proxy (if a peer proxy is set up and is run on the same machine as the tracker proxy). -* Since no incoming connections are accepted, NAT-PMP, UPnP, DHT and local peer discovery are all turned off when this setting is enabled. +* Other identifying information will not be leaked, such as your local listen port, your IP etc. -If you're using I2P, it might make sense to enable anonymous mode as well. +If you're using I2P, a VPN or a proxy, it might make sense to enable anonymous mode.
