Is a VPN necessary for torrenting?
I don't live in the US, so my ISP doesn't really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren't cheap and I'm on a strict budget (wouldn't pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?
You're viewing a single thread.
You're probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don't like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow

Proton free plan doesn't support torrenting, sadly.Just remember with free things - if you're not paying for the product, you are the product!
Yeah but for ProtonVPN i would say your safe, since they make money by selling your the VPN itself, which is a pretty good and secure VPN
