Do you know a not sus VPN that supports p2p torrenting? I 🏴☠️ tens of games a month and recently our fascist government just passed a draconian anti piracy law, what VPN should I look to?
There are only 4 left, with each having various degrees of issues.
AirVPN: the only one with multiple ports for forwarding, but no logging policy is an issue
IVPN: the strongest VPN option but with only 1 port for forwarding
ProtonVPN: good option overall but no anonymous payment option
Windscribe: good option but with limited port forwarding and an unfortunate incident in 2019 (no customer data was compromised though)
All I want to say is we have limited time as pirates unless an underground net is established that is not leech-y like private trackers are. Give or take, less than two years, being optimistic as a small scale data curator/hoarder.
Not sure, I have data hoarded so many things which I can stick to, combined with Russian pirate portals and good ol VirusTotal and KVRT offline scans. Usenet is way down the consideration list.
Mullvad has stopped providing port forwarding, which means torrenting can leak IP often enough to endanger users.
Edit: I made a minor mistake in a hurry, port forwarding affects torrenting in that you connect to less seeds/peers, although you could still bind it to your torrent client.
Can you explain a bit more, if you don’t mind? From what I’ve read not being able to port forward can decrease the number of connections you can make while torrenting (i.e. slower down-/upload), but I don’t see why this would cause IP leaks assuming your torrent client is configured to only use VPN connections. I’ve never used it personally. Not trying to be obtuse or anything, I’m just a bit confused and very sceptical in terms of alternatives because I’m not very serious in terms of torrenting and would be hesitant to change my trust.
I seemed to have mixed binding and VPN provider credibility in a hurry. Sorry for that. So, port forwarding gets you more seeds/peers during torrenting, and lacking that affects torrenting.

Would you move to usenet to no longer use torrents?

What about Mullvad?

Awesome, thanks for clarifying. The more good info out there, the better o7
Windscribe is also based in Canada - I don’t trust them for many reasons. AzireVPN seems good too albeit a bit expensive.
Personally I’m getting AirVPN once my Surfshark subscription ends (I know, it’s awful, but I already payed for it 🙄)
In the past I have used BtGuard.
You are better off getting a seedbox from some place in Europe than trying to deal with slow vpn speeds.
