im starting to learn and search about torrent and piracy in general, do I need a VPN even if my country does not care at all about piracy?
Most discourse about this is from Americans. I’ve never used a VPN to torrent and it’s never been a problem
Can you recommend a decent VPN? Paid or free, I’m ignorant on the subject.
Neither Mullvad nor iVPN are offering port forwarding so neither will be ideal for torrenting.
Can someone speak more to this distinction between VPN for torrenting vs security? Does one come at the expense of the other?
Try to see if there are any cases of notices being sent or internet provider shutoffs. If nothing comes up and you are truly in a country that doesn’t care, I don’t see what you need to worry about.
Depending on which country we’re talking about… I disagree with most people here. If your country doesn’t care, and because of that your ISP doesn’t keep logs… What benefit would a VPN have? It’d just cost you money and make everything a bit slower. And there’s another company messing with your data. IANAL, though.
I mean, probably not? If no one in your country has ever been charged or extradited over it then it’s unlikely you will.
