| Please note that the encryption option is meant to hinder traffic shaping applications on the ISP side by obfuscating BitTorrent traffic between peers. However this doesn't anonymize you on the Internet as far as the other peers in the swarm are concerned, since your IP address will still be visible to each peer of that torrent swarm.\\ If you aim for total anonymity you should look towards a VPN proxy solution which will masquerade your IP behind the VPN IP address, thus offering your a real degree of anonymity. | Please note that the encryption option is meant to hinder traffic shaping applications on the ISP side by obfuscating BitTorrent traffic between peers.
