I was considering buying their lifetime subscription at the end of this month, but all the bots posting reviews and commenting on Reddit don’t help.
I heard about this VPN in one of my recent threads here, and I believe Lemmy is cleaner than Reddit, so here I am, ready to read what you think about the service.
Would you use it to torrent? I said I only needed to watch movies, but eventually the stuff I watch is in a “niche” language, and the sites are overcrowded, so downloading from torrent is probably the best way (at the moment I’m downloading from the streaming sites through an app and Proton, but it’s getting a bit slow).
^ It’s not even Proton that’s the problem; it’s the sites that are slow as heck, and downloading an episode each evening sometimes is too much of a PITA. (while watching it like a normal user, well after dinner is basically a 1-minute wait every 10-15 seconds or something like that)
It lacks port forwarding so it’s not the fastest when it comes to torrenting. You’ll want one hosted outside of the 14 eyes, with port forwarding, hosted in a country that is not compliant with DMCA, and a strict no-log policy.
ExpressVPN or ProtonVPN paid plans will likely be best for you. But this is from memory so do your research on each to make sure the criteria hold true.
is port forwarding only for speed? I think I’ve got some confusion, can I torrent with proton free for casual usage?
Edit: I read on reddit they block torreting so okay, my question is still valid though. I’ve got a vpn bundled with an antimalware I can probably use but it’s the same story, (I doubt over here they’ll catch me torrenting) but does the vpn need to be specifically designed for torreting?
