I know free vpns usually are not good, but right now I am not in a position to pay for a vpn. I found Privado VPN and it doesn’t keep logs and is based in Switzerland. It has a data limit for free users, but do you think its safe for torrenting?

        If you want just the vpn without any of the very common discounts its 5€ for 2 years plan

        Its the cheapest good torrenting option with good bandwidth and great privacy.

        Definitely 100 times cheaper than torrenting without vpn and getting caught.

          Just get mullvad then. It’s 5€, every month, no special offers, just 5 bucks. Also it’s one of the best if not the best vpn provider you can get.

            They don’t have port forwarding wich is a problem for torrenting.

            Proton is one of the best, Mullvad is behind only because of the port forwarding. But both are above everything else.

                And yeah its a bummer, before that I’ve given Mullvad and proton as great options, but currently i can only advertise for Proton in good faith. Its a little more expensive (unless you have a business plan regardless…) but its great for everything else.
