I wanted to gauge interest in Tribler. It claims to be a tor-like p2p client created by privacy researchers. Has anyone had experience with Tribler? Did you get any takedown notices? What were speeds like?

I installed in on my machine from the software package manager. It doesn't have the feature to bind to a specific device (this is a must have for me so I can use my VPN without IP address leakage). I read a horror story on hacker news about a person getting fragmented CSAM on their hard drive by running an exit node (running an exit node is trivially easy with the program). Noped out after not being able to bind to tun0. I went to their website, mostly academics polishing research papers from my point of view. Sketchy looking ui, uninstalled.
