Definitely, probably the safest place there is, it can never be traced back to you
Noah Bailey
They gave me a password for the wifi, do you think it's room specific or the same for everyone?

Christopher Baker
the webserver will have a proxy log with your web requests that can be tracked back to your unique layer 2 address (and most likely hostname)

Why does it matter? Are the cyber police after you?
Nathan Butler
I work at a hotel and it's where I do all my torrenting. Haven't had a problem yet, 5 years in.
Carter Gray
So they can see who torrents?
No, I'd just rather not deal with any potential fallout. I guess there's not much a cheap hotel would do about it though, is there?
Lucas Reyes
We don't keep track of shit.

They reset it often. They could do both it depends on their setup. It's their network. First they have to sue the IP then the hotel and then trace it back to you. At which time all records are probably gone and you plead the 5th
Tldr it's a torrent at a hotel. People go there to fuck hookers and sell crack. That's probably what your room was used for last night
Jaxson Torres
it would be unlikely.. but if the hotel gets a DMCA complaint from their ISP they MAY have someone in your IT department trace the logs by timestamp
Josiah Murphy
by your i mean their
Lucas Murphy
yeah.. it would all depend on the type of server they have for the guest internet service
Hunter Ward
use a proxy and macchanger if your paranoid

Elijah Reed

Dominic Morales
....everything is perfect here except the rock section
Joseph Fisher
lol... hotel is probably the safest place to torrent, because there is no way for them to tell which user was the one on the wifi. The only way that would be possible is if you were the ONLY guest there and even then, it could be an employee so there is no way to know for sure unless they got a hold of your laptop to check the MAC.
