qBittorrent official forums

The help section on anonymous mode says it may disable pex dht and local peer discovery. I don't want that, If I have those three things checked to be on in the settings and anonymous mode will they still work? It suggests using anonymous mode if you use a vpn which I do. I am not tryin to hide from legal issues as all my torrents are of legal things, I am just a bit overly privacy conscious. I am just kinda fuzzy on wha anonomys mode does and how it works.
