Anyone got any VPNs to recommend? I know there’s a lot of varying quality out there. I’ll appreciate any recommendations, but I’m just looking to pirate games (in U.S.) and not get a letter from my ISP, so whatever is simple and easy for that purpose.

I personally use Astrill VPN for any private browsing plus seeding/leeching. Works great for me and has been for past 6 or so years, got it while being in China and haven’t really changed to another one

I use proton and it’s fine for that. Even has port forwarding if you care about seeding.

I see that they have a free version. Is this also good? I’m assuming no, but should ask anyways.

iirc, the free servers block torrenting and are quite slow; it mainly serves as a demo for seeing what the apps and stuff are like before you pay for the real thing

Do not torrent on mullvad it’s p much only good for leeching no port forwarding. Also never trust any vpn and there are a limited # of tor exit nodes, all of them are likely owned by creepy crypto guys who have to be CIA good luck. Better than nothing so I guess go with the best one for torrenting speed like airvpn

I have no real issues seeding with mullvad. It’s a bit slow but if I just leave my laptop on overnight I’ve generally increased my ratio substantially

Mozilla VPN

It’s IIRC Proton VPN, same cost, but it helps fund Mozilla

Been using windscribe for a couple years now. Very fast, pirated literally everything I can, no issues. Can’t say for sure they wouldn’t sell you down the river if they needed to, BUT they have a “build your own” plan thing, where you can literally just choose like 2 server locations for 3$ a month.
