Update VPN torrenting info for security
In general, you should always satisfy one or both of the following conditions when torrenting on the Escher network:
*You are certain that the content you are torrenting is permitted by its creators to be freely distributed (ex. Not under copyright, covered by GPL/MIT licenses, etc.)
*You are using a VPN on whatever device you are torrenting on.Note that not all VPNs support peer to peer, so you must confirm that your VPN does, and that you have set up your client to only use that connection. Also, be sure to use a kill switch to prevent your IP from leaking in the event that your VPN drops even momentarily.
If none of these conditions are met, then you risk our reputation with our internet service provider if you accidentally leech or seed something that is not licensed to be shared.
