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.

PF influences reverse connections to you when downloading as well. People can connect to you and upload to you. If the torrent is really badly seeded you might not be able to download it.

Thank you for the clarification! I’ll move to a different solution for my setup then.
