Or alternatively, you can get a seedbox which is a server you can rent in a data center and do your torrenting there, then when your torrent is complete you can download the files to your home over FTP or another private connection so no one sees your IP address. A VPN will cover your home/torrent IP address. Going forward if you want to keep torrenting, get a VPN or a seedbox. Anybody that does most likely has hardware problems. I have gigabyte fiber and I have the VPN on all time. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with Mullvad. But like everyone else on this thread, I wouldn’t go with any of those three you mentioned.Ģ7 – upvotes – /r/VPNTorrents, 6:24:06 PMĢ7 upvotes – /r/VPNTorrents, 10:37:31 PM That being said, at the end of the day, it’s up to you what VPN you want to use. Otherwise, you get about 10-15GB for free every month. It gets the job done and it’s only $1/month per location through their Build a Plan. If you want a US-based VPN that badly, I’d highly recommend Windscribe. But make sure not to abuse or your account will be blocked. I’d much rather support a business that is honest and takes corrective measures than companies that try to keep their customers in the dark. NordVPN and TorGuard got hacked, hid it from their customers, and then attempted to downplay the impact of the hack only when publicly exposed. Besides, the company owned up to their mistake (when they could have let it slide and this would probably never come out). Most providers STILL do not use x509 validation in their configs. LOL, who did you get the “Show this” from? Windscribe has since taken great measures like introducing x509 validation in their configs and using short-lived certificates. They all offer 10GB/month for free which works with torrents. Plus they have a DNS service too.Ĭheck out windscribe, privadovpn, or. Their servers are fast and I have never had a problem. They currently have a deal going for $70 for 3 years. I have used Windscribe for a couple of years and it’s amazing. I use that $2 monthly Windscribe plan, it’s great. The windscribe build your own plan is already dirt cheap at like $2/month. It’s quite nice and also very novice-friendly, I personally don’t trust any von providers which advertise them. I switched to windscribe and it’s so much better. I subscribed to TorGuard years ago and I always had issues with IPTV buffering. They’re not even the best VPN for normal shit. Very trustworthy VPN and has a competitive price with the Black Friday promos they have going on through the 3rd. This question was specific to Windscribe and I answered it. I just as often recommend Mullvad, IVPN, AirVPN, CryptoStorm, and OVPN. I’m entitled to an opinion just as you, so don’t try and call me a shill. Read my reply to your other comment for a discussion. It’s just a service I subscribe to and really like. What do I have to gain from shilling for Windscribe? They don’t have an affiliate program that will get me some quick cash. It’s a cost-effective VPN that’s great for long term usage.Other honorable VPN mentions on Reddit in the last 12 months:ġ3 mentions – Adguard #5 – Windscribe (36 upvotes) PIA might be ok for some regular browsing but NordVPN is the clear winner for me. PIA doesn’t really have many frills but NordVPN has a lot, including Onion over VPN, Anti-DDOS … however, I never really used them but I guess others will. PIA, conversely, doesn’t, which isn’t good for torrenting or privacy. NordVPN has a kill switch, which means your IP won’t get leaked. It has 30 day MBG, whereas PIA has just 7 day MBG. A lot of the time, the speed was good for me but it can be inconsistent, especially if the server is pretty far away. NordVPN actually lets you pick your own servers, although that doesn’t mean the connection will always be great. Nord VPN *does* work with Netflix and I never had any issues accessing my favourite shows during the week I was using it. If you want a VPN for long-term usage, it’s definitely a great option.Ī major strike against Private Internet Access is that it doesn’t work with Netflix. However, if you choose the 3-year subscription package, you’ll be paying just $99USD every 3 years. NordVPN, on the other hand, costs just $19.80USD per year if you take them up on a one year subscription. Private internet access is more expensive, costing $29.99USD per year. Both returned good download speed (NordVPN was registering 85mbps, PIA was registering around 80mbps consistently) and good upload speed (around 8mbps for both). No gripes with either VPN on the speed front. Hopefully, others who are also on the lookout for a VPN can learn something from my experience: I’m NOT an expert on things like encryption but I decided to write up a quick review and share it with Reddit. I decided to take a look at both NordVPN vs PIA (Private Internet Access) to see which suited my needs best. My main priority was speed but I also needed privacy.
