NordVPN is ran by same company that supplies residential proxies.

The way it worked is by using using their service you'd actually reciprocally share your IP.

Thats dodgy on multiple levels.

I'm sure that notion will keep the FBI from raiding your home when that unrelated traffic turns out to be involved in something illicit.

There are far worse things one can do anonymously over someone's internet connection than download an mp3.

It sounds more likely that the FBI knows you're using NordVPN before they come busting.
