ISP still sells your damn data to advertisers
OR
$5 Mullvad subscription.
You tell me what makes more sense.
Unfortunately I cannot recommend Mullvad for Torrenting. They blocked port forwarding, making seeding and thus contributing back to the network that much slower
I just went for ProtonVPN since (next to iVPN I think) it's the only other one to at least be partially OSS and still viable for daily-use
Thats fair, and I agree with you for torrenting, its the one thing I wish they'd change. For privacy though, I feel like Mullvad is leading the pack. (Not having to provide an email, crypto and/or cash payments, DAITA)
Yes shame about Mullvad. AirVPN still allows port forwarding though.
Now days I just stick to private trackers while using a cheap European VPS setup with wireguard. Only saves me a couple of bucks a month compared to VPN service but it adds up.
It's hella cheaper tho
Yeah and something that is useful for all kinds of situations like circumventing geo-blocking as well. So it's always a good idea to have a VPN.
I have never once used a VPN to pirate shit.
I did ONCE, and got a notice. 😂 VPN all the way boys!
My ISP couldn't give a rats arse if I pirate games or not. That's the benefits of a local ISP, they are so small they don't care.
I used proton once...
You also need an ISP, which isn't free either.
If you have a non-sucking ISP, you don't need a VPN. But a VPN is incredibly cheap, so just lump it in mentally with the cost of the internet service.
No money, no friends? Maybe that a signal it's time to take a break from the screen
Going outside when you're nowhere near a city:
(in USA at least)
You've never gone tromping through the woods?
Kind of (300+ miles on the trail), though I've never found anything close to a friend or a money.
instructions misunderstood. Bear is playing doom Eternal with me. Please help.
That's all of Alberta CA I think
Direct downloads are fine enough. No need for vpn.
Edit: Depends on your location. US is fine with ddl
Depends on where you are. Don't try that in Germany, you'll get a hefty fine.
Right? They only get your IP from torrenting because they’re torrenting it too.
A single download source you trust is usually fine unless you’ve got a super-narc for an ISP.
Unfortunately in my area Comcast has a super monopoly and they're huge narcs
Can't you borrow games at the library?
In Austria you totally can and it costs € 30 / year. But for the new ones you can simply torrent them because nobody cares here.
Read the megathread ffs, use ProtonVPN
Don't use Proton, use Mullvad.
That said, if you're only paying for a VPN so you can torrent, you're better off getting a Debrid service instead (like Real-Debrid). It's cheaper and gets you direct downloads to any torrent you want at 1Gbps speeds.
