+ PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server,
+ but ultimately leaves you the choice to switch back to regular streaming exclusively from the server of the video. What
+ follows applies only if you want to keep using the P2P mode of PeerTube.

<p i18n>
- PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users.
- This implies that your IP address is stored in the instance's BitTorrent tracker as long as you download or watch the video.
+ The main threat to your privacy induced by BitTorrent lies in your IP address being stored in the instance's BitTorrent
+ tracker as long as you download or watch the video.

In theory, someone with enough technical skills could create a script that tracks which IP is downloading which video.
<li i18n>
For each request sent, the tracker returns random peers at a limited number.
- For instance, if there are 1000 peers in the swarm and the tracker sends only 20 peers for each request, there must be at least 50 requests sent to know every peers in the swarm

- Web peers are not publicly accessible: because we use WebRTC inside the web browser (<a href="https://webtorrent.io/">with the WebTorrent library</a>), the protocol is different from classic BitTorrent.
- When you are in a web browser, you send a signal containing your IP address to the tracker that will randomly choose other peers to forward the information to.

There are much more effective ways to get that kind of information.

+ The threats to privacy with YouTube are different from PeerTube's.
In YouTube's case, the platform gathers a huge amount of your personal information (not only your IP) to analyze them and track you.
Moreover, YouTube is owned by Google/Alphabet, a company that tracks you across many websites (via AdSense or Google Analytics).

PeerTube is transparent about it: we warn you that if you want to keep your IP private, you must use a VPN or Tor Browser.
Thinking that removing P2P from PeerTube will give you back anonymity doesn't make sense.

- PeerTube is in its early stages, and want to deliver the best countermeasures possible by the time the stable is released.
- In the meantime, we want to test different ideas related to this issue:
+ PeerTube wants to deliver the best countermeasures possible, to give you more choice
+ and render attacks less likely. Here is what we put in place so far:
</p>
<ul>
- <li i18n>Set a limit to the number of peers sent by the tracker</li>
- <li i18n>Set a limit on the request frequency received by the tracker (being tested)</li>
- <li i18n>Ring a bell if there are unusual requests (being tested)</li>
- <li i18n>Disable P2P from the administration interface</li>
- <li i18n>An automatic video redundancy program: we wouldn't know if the IP downloaded the video on purpose or if it was the automatized program</li>
+ <li i18n>We set a limit to the number of peers sent by the tracker</li>

+ <li i18n>Allow instance admins to disable P2P from the administration interface</li>

+ Ultimately, remember you can always disable P2P by toggling it in the video player, or just by disabling
+ WebRTC in your browser.
