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?

But no p2p on free. Honestly, OP, for this one you may just have to drop some cash on a reputable VPN

Just Proton VPN isn't expensive at all

$10/month, right? Not terrible but expensive nonetheless

I looked it up, it's 10 euro a month.

120 a year

200 Australian.

Expensive but cheap if tormenting

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.

Damn I didn’t know they discontinued port forwarding support. Personally I moved to Premiumize for torrenting or generally pirating but still that’s a bummer.

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.

Oeck vpn is a better deal than that if you need port forwading. At full price they are expensive but there is a 50% off deal on whirlpool.net.au at the moment. https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/9n1jvqwk US$83 per year, works out to about AU$125 per year.

Oeck vpn allows each user to forward 10 ports and the port number stays the same even if the vpn is reset.

No 5€ for the 2 years plan
