VPN for Torrenting

I'm deeply sorry, but I had to mention i2p torrenting, it might become more popular soon.

Sidenote: I2P torrenting doesn't require a vpn or port forwarding, and is indeed more private.

ProtonVPN. It's an organization built around principles of privacy, so I use them a lot and support them as much as I can. I have their VPN on a docker container with gluetun.

AirVPN is a good one

I use Mullvad and do not need to forward any ports for torrenting.

Air VPN as it supports port forwarding. PF isn't as important if you only download popular new content, as there are usually enough connectable seeders on popular torrents. But PF is absolutely crucial if you want to be able to obtain old or rare content or if you use private trackers.

I'm honestly baffled that so many are still recommending Mullvad after they made such a stunning reversal of their friendly policy towards p2p by removing port forwarding. I wouldn't trust them as far as I can throw them.

Private Internet Access allows port forwarding

AirVPN customer since 7-8 years. If you want some flashy highly polished website and client which could win design awards, look elsewhere. Otherwise it’s top notch. They have an easy to use client and support for both native WireGuard and OpenVPN.

i believe windscribe is good, but i havent done enough research to be confidwnt

I have been using PIA. They changed owners awhile back and there were some concerns about if they would continue to NOT keep logs. They have maintained that standard and I’ve had zero issues torrenting with them.

Mullvad vpn is great. They offer different ways to pay so you can maintain privacy and you only pay for the amount of time you want.

I started with Cyberghost because they were cheap and had no issues. ProtonVPN my go to now though.

I'm new to vpns, what's port forwarding?

Why is everyone anti NordVPN again?

still using mullvad and haven't had any issues.

I'm still using Mullvad and QBittorrent and I torrent my bloody black guts out with no noticed degradation in speeds since their announcement that they were no longer supporting port forwarding. It's anecdotal, I know, but so far I haven't noticed any problems.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using the free tier of hide.me coming from 2 years of surfshark. The speeds aren’t great. But it’s $0 and it works 🤷‍♂️

Got a lifetime subscription for FastestVPN some years ago. Its slow, but it works and is unlimited so 🙆‍♂️

I torrent all my Linux distros with Mullvad. No problems here.

Try cryptostorm.is.

I'm still able to seed using Mullvad ¯_(ツ)_/¯
