Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven't gotten into proper #piracy is that I don't have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don't have a VPN is that I don't #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don't hide what you're downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don't fully understand.

ProtonVPN is a no log VPN according to their privacy policy: https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy

They have servers specifically for port forwarding and P2P traffic. I use them and I haven't gotten a DMCA request yet so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sadly with Mullvad closing port forwarding, they are one of the only ones you can torrent with. In all honesty, if it's torrenting setting up a seedbox is really the way to go.

I'm not the smartest bowl in the... bowl drawer, but wouldn't removing port forwarding just affect speed? Or would it stop torentting with Mullvad entirely? I just topped my account off lol
