Hotspot Shield works good
i think i got a cracked account from le pirate bay but sometimes it tells me i've reached the bandwith limit
thats only on pornhub usually
still free version is good enough

18 here
well i've checked out how it works through software called lil snitch and also just netstat'ing myself to see if it changed and sure enough it works. i know for a fact it hides ur ip
only bad thing is banner ads but fuckit
i only use this while on public networks to get around firewalls and it works perfect for that much
dont do much illlegal shit anymore so *shrugs*
hope that helped

idk i haven't torrented much besides music lately
im sure you'll be able to find it somewhere
No.34
is it safe to torrent without a vpn? or should I use vpns all the time
No.35
>>34I don't torrent with a vpn. I think some torrent sites don't allow people using vpn. But over all you can if you want. If your ISP is strict and on to every thing you download sure. Take note while using vpn, your bandwidth will drop. ie: 100mbps Down -> 50-90mbps down (with vpn)
No.37
>>35This has not been the case in my experience and I have yet to find any torrent site that doesn't allow people using a VPN.
I don't even think such a thing exists/could exist.
No.38
I might use TorrentPrivacy. Anyone use that? If it costs anything I'm just going to torrent it XD

so i found out that you can get infringment notices from your isp
I should probably get that vpn now…
No.51
>>50I've gotten one, has been months. By Time Warner Cable. I torrented a movie produced by Warner Brothers (one of its subsidiaries)
Downloaded lots of porn torrents, and a few movies considering I have Hulu, Netflix streaming, and Amazon Instant Video Prime.

I use private internet access. It's sad that Linux vpns don't do auto connect and kill switch well

>>53ahh no. It's all about your network manager and or configuration.
Btw I have pia on arch linux rpi server setup with ports forwarded for my dns.

Hola. I use it mostly to access other countries' netflix lists when something I'm looking for isn't on mine.

I don't use a vpn, I only use a proxy for my torrent shit. I should probably get a vpn instead of just that though. I use btguard no notices in 2 years.

>>12Yes, it's all the ISPs! It's not the government! Or the NSA! Heh, heh, heh…
Are these guys for real? I'm a Britbong, and when those bullshit internet filters were being proposed by David Cameron, all the ISPs were against them but had the filters forced on them anyway.
ISPs have an incentive to provide you with good internet, because otherwise you'll just ditch them for their competitors. Government has an incentive to provide you with bad internet so they can monitor you and stop you from seeing things they don't want you to.
No.173
>>172and do vpns prevent that
No.189
>>173Yes, a VPN will circumvent any censorship forced on your ISP by the government.

>Using any VPN besides PIALOL.
PIA values your privacy, is CHEAP AS FUCK, and accessible. I see no other VPN service that offers what PIA does at the price that they do. If you want to pay $14 a month for the same fucking service, I won't stop you. You will, however, be a retard for doing so.
>>35>>2231.) Stop using shit VPNs.
2.) Stop using shit torrent sites.
Torrent sites I use don't even have any way of preventing you from using VPN because of a little thing called "MAGNET LINKS."
Also, using PIA. Still downloading at max speed as to what my shitty connection is rated for. Some hiccups with the VPN itself where sometimes I lose connections, but compared to shit like TOR it's a fucking miracle.
If your VPN cited you for merely torrenting, STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. Because they're basically ripping you off. Also, list it, because it's an incredibly shitty VPN service and I wish to laugh at them.

>>235>>237if you're not the customer you're the producta paid vpn provider has very clear motives. they are making money out of it. a free one has to find some way to monetize or else why are they doing it? they're all either injecting ads or selling your info (probably both). i don't know how you expect to get a fast enough proxy to torrent properly and still have it be free

Softether vpn is a good vpn service. It allows you to connect to a network hosted in another country and use their ip.

What about cyberghost? I know It's slow as hell for torrenting. I'm just not trying to pay for any vpns man.

>>296I have used paid Private internet access and am currently using the free version of cyberghost. Free version is good enough for browsing but doesn't allow bittorrent traffic.

>>50I download tons of anime and porn. Very rarely do I torrent a movie I can buy cheap. Been doin' it almost a year. No phone calls, no letters, notices etc. ISP must not give a shit.
No.810
>>793They only give a shit when they receive a DMCA notice from whoever holds the copyright, and only a few corporations really put effort into that. Mostly subsidiaries of Time Warner.
No.812
>>793I think you're probably more likely to get a warning for porn than a movie. I think it depends on the copyright holder more. I just started torrenting and I already got a warning for porn… My ISP must be especially strict because if I'm caught torrenting again they'll cut my internet off.
No.824
VPNS are worthless, they are required by law to keep a record of your IP address and what you do while utilizing your service.
In the event that you end up in actual legal trouble, the kind you'd actually want anonymity for, they'll hand over your IP at the first sight of a warrent.
VPNs are a security blanket, nothing more.

Mullvad. I'm surprised to not see them here.
"Privacy policy

You can either subscribe or do one off payments but it's a flat rate of 5 euros a month.

I'd give Mullvad my personal recommendation
>Exit nodes in Sweden, Germany, Canada, and USA
>No bandwidth limit or throttling (TCP 25 outbound is blocked though)
>No personal details for signup
>FOSS simple-to-use Mullvad client, or you can use your own OpenVPN
>3 hour free trial
>$6/mo
>You can pay with cash in an envelope

I only skimmed the thread, but FinchVPN is a good provider, Has exit nodes all over Europe, North America, and Asia. It also comes with a 3GB/month free plan
