Is it possible to not show people's port numbers on the tracker, just in case people use DHT (distributed datatbase), which should be off by the way (private tracker)!

Just keeps us all safe in case someone links to the torrent from the outside (via DHT), gets our open port numbers and attacks.

The torrents are secure in that only members can download, and will not work from a link other than from the site here.

Have you ever been compromised in this way? I've been using torrents for 3-4 years and I've never (to my knowledge) had any serious issues as a result.

Private trackers seem ok, just as long as people don't share the torrents via DHT.

I've been using torrents for a good 10 years, but just wanted people to know not to use DHT, as torrents can be sourced from the net if someone's comp were to be hacked and/or torrents leaked somehow.

Cheers
