Privacy & Concern

• We don't ask any of your personal information
• If you think our program can be malicious so you can yourself scan with a antivirus
• We have also uploaded the results of our scan from multiple antivirus, It is present at the place where you download the installer, below are the scan results of the latest version of our Executables
• The sudo/root permission we are asking is just to add python script in (cron jobs/task sheduler) and (create shorcut if OS==windows), you can confirm the same in intall.py file, if you are still not convinced then you can see that in intall.py from line around "529" to "551" you can see that there are some functions named with daemons, these are the functions requiring privilege, so you can manually create cronjobs for these functions , after that remove the privilage restriction inside __name__=='__main__ and then run the script. Additionally if you are an windows user then you must also make sure that every fxn calling INSTALL.WINDOWS.create_shortcut which creates shortcut you should make that shortcut manually
• You might encounter a firewall permission something like below (you have to select both private and public as shown in image) {For those who want to know what this permission means-: When you connect to Wifi you might know that the connection is defined as private or public, so if the network on which server is connected is set as public in your pc, then only allowing permission on private network won't make TorrentLAN work properly}
