What's the preferred country for VPN exits?A country where everyone pirates (Netherlands, Sweden) or country with lax law enforcement (Bulgaria, Moldova) or country with no penalties for downloading (Canada)?
>he doesnt proxy all torrent traffic through the tor network
>>1160351tor doesn't work for poorly seeded torrents that require incoming connections.
>>1160353who cares?
>>1160349NordVPN sucks ass, use Mullvad instead.
i don't see how the answer to this question matters at all.
Why even bother, I dont use a vpn at all no one cares
>>1160364Sure but which exit?
Mullvad to switzerland, they dont give a shit what you do
India for all kinds of torrenting, hacking, ddos, ssh bruteforce, etc. Nobody cares what you do and 90% of the ISP are ignorant.
>>1161443what's a good Indian VPN?
>>1161446When it comes to VPN, you can choose any location doesn't really matter because you are putting trust in VPN company rather than location. I live in India and never got requirement for it. I would say go with Nord itself. They have support for ipsec/strongswan protocol which helps in automation. You can find some channels on telegram where you can freely find credentials of various nord account. After successful login. Capture the ipsec credentials and store them with you. Even if account holder changes password. You can still use those credentials in ipsec config.
Serbia
>>1161639why Serbia?
>>1161639>"Serbia is the leading country in central and eastern Europe, with a 78 percent piracy rate," said Dragomir Kojic from the Business Software Alliance, which brings together companies such as Microsoft MSFT.O and Adobe ADBE.O.>“Croatia has around 58 percent, Slovenia 51 percent and new European Union members Bulgaria and Romania 71 and 74 percent.”Nice.
>>1160354Fuck off newfag
>>1160349italy or spain as no one gives an absolute fuck about piracy unless you profit from off of it or if it involves cp
>>1161435I don't think it matters, it's not your problem. Prefer countries with best ping. I've never run into any problem, i just select the one which gives me best speed
>>1161709so if I'm in the US, it is okay for me to choose an American exit?
>>1161731Select US, and enable kill switch. Nobody gonna come to you.
>>1161644>78 percentWow, I had no idea piracy was this prevalent in my own country.It'll probably start dropping now, even though it's easier than ever to pirate films and tv shows, people think "wow, what a low monthly fee for netflix", instead of thinking, "wow, free digital copies of any show/film ever, let me torrent it". People even buy youtube premium cause they don't know about ublock origin. BAKA my head, /t/bros.Anyway, sorry for the off topic, I never used a VPN myself - all natural - but a friend of mine who moved from Serbia to Italy just picks what ever exit is fastest, he hasn't had any issues for years now.
>>1161740Interesting. I guess if you don't ever torrent anything spicy (think: twitch leaks) then probably fastest exit is enough. Nobody will break VPN for capeshitThis is how they use netflow data to bust VPNs: https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg84yy/data-brokers-netflow-data-team-cymru
Always just used Mexico. Close enough to not have shit ping, and their government doesn't give 2 shits about torrenting.
>>1161440in Switzerland it is illegal to spy a p2p connection. ultimately making any torrent legal. also it is legal to download anything that isn't illegal(cp+zoo, etc) is legal except for pirated programs. Switzerland usually have great internet connections
Windscribe is pretty good, while they are Canadian they don't keep any identifiable information. They where audited multiple times, Mullvad and Proton seem to be good but I haven't tried them myself.
I'm US, but my fastest speeds are through the Amsterdam servers on IPVanish. Great UI and the Kill Switch is a lifesaver
>email from ISP because i downloaded actually recent media for oncethese are still a meme right?
>>1160349You dont need one, its zoomer bullshit
>paying for VPNs fucking lol
>>1164766why not?
>>1164767I shouldnt have to pay for one, and isnt paying for a vpn defeating the purpose of being "private"?
>>1164769if it is free you are the product. all those free VPN apps sell your residential IP for their residential VPN service.and you can pay using crypto which is somewhat private.
>>1164771Yeah man, I'm getting into mining. Gonna look into pricing options soon. If I can self-fund the vpn service through mining profits, that's as private as you can practically get. No middle men, no KYC crypto exchange, no credit card company to track that I'm paying for a VPN, and with Monero specifically, untraceable transactions.Basically I'd be paying for my VPN indirectly through my electricity bill. Some people think that's dumb but I think that's pretty dope.
>>1160349Just use your own countries exit node? I've been doing it like this for the past two years.
>>1160349Just moved into a new place (university student) and nyaa won't load. Seems like my ISP has put some kinda block on it since when I use my phone on cellular I can access it. Do I need a VPN to bypass this?>>1163964Depends on what you download. I've torrented anime for years with no problem but last month I downloaded Fallout New Vegas and got an email. Just ignore it
>>1160364>>1161440>>1163513>use card to pay for Mullvad>got a fraud text from my bankA-am I fucked? Should I have used Paypal?
>>1166143paying for a VPN shouldn't ever be a problem, sounds like a payment processing issueshould've paid with crypto if you want better privacy, paypal is just as bad if not worse than card, doesn't really matter for just torrenting and stuff though
i tried using a modded one on my phone and pc. android one connects but the connection fluctuates, guess they know its a fake. and the pc version only allows 8gb then have to reconnect again, with crack btw.anyone here got free ones or links? really need one, i live in a shithole country
>>1166137Could also be a DNS-level block. Try 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8
Use IVPN. it's very cheap, transparent. no email signup. save your id and pay with a card or something else.
>>1160351shit idea torrenting with tor? please don't
>>1160351link to guide how to do that
>>1167633this
>>1167633>>1169223just use 127.0.0.1:9050 as a SOCKS proxy in your torrent client settings.
>>1169302im new to this, using deluge>preferences>proxy>peer>type:>picwhat sock do i use with? i assume the numbers are the "host". do i change the port number? also what exactly does using this as a proxy do?
honestly just any third world country
>>1166143>>1166153I think it's an issue with a shitty payment processor on their end. Last 2 times I renewed with paypal I got an email from paypal saying someone was trying to access my account.
>>1160349Mullvad is the only good option nowadays
>>1166143Youre fine, just make sure you bind your torrent client to the VPN to ensure no leaks.
>>1170049But which exits?
have any of you guys ever used Proton VPN?
Do any VPNs accept a store bought gift card as a payment method?
>>1170242Gift cards? If you mean like Visa prepaid credit cards then probably yes. If you mean Starbucks points then most likely no.
>>1171740https://secure.paygarden.com/pay/site/ltm/privateinternet/start
>>1172372>Your link to PayGarden has missing or expired parameters required to process your payment. Please return to the partner's website and begin a new payment request.
do you guys buy month to month or dish out a year?
>>1160351>>he doesnt proxy all torrent traffic through the tor networkwhy?>>1167061>shit idea torrenting with tor? please don'twhy?

I'm fucking glad not living in a shithole like>Muricaor>Germanyand can seed and leech all I want since I know how to port forward on my shitty firewall.
so this shit happened earlier today. they said it was from seeding a cyberpunk repack i downloaded like months ago. motherfuckers. guess i need a VPN now
>>1165103youre late to the mining party, the only profitable thing to mine was ether and its no longer possible to mine itunless you have free energy, dont even bother
>>1160351Cucks like this anon are the reason tor is always slow as fuck.
>>1160351Kekk
>>1160351based nigger
>>1160349I use Switzerland since fast internet and privacy laws, plus their outside of the 14 eyes for what it’s worth (still wouldn’t trust them for anything crazy but I doubt interpol or any 3 letter agencies are gonna track you through a vpn for torrenting) Speaking of; any torrent bros know if I should be cautious in the amount I torrent? Like even if everything is properly going through a vpn should I limit my download activity so my isp doesn’t see tons of data being transferred each month? I have an unlimited plan but I’m like really paranoid when it comes to isp shit. Would help a lot of anyone could tell me if I’m schitzo or should be cautious
>>1179826I download and upload roughly 500GB a month on Comcast using a VPN. No issues.
>>1161440next time send them money by letter you dummy. I think that'st he only company that accepts this
>>1179826Check your contract. Sometimes they'll have stupid terms about how unlimited is only unlimited within limits.
Luxembourg. We have only 2 (two) agents working on "illegal internet stuff", and both have enough to do with pedos.
>>1170050I don't understand a word of what you just said
>>1183511https://www.reddit.com/r/qBittorrent/comments/42p6hy/qbittorrent_network_interface_setting_for_my_vpn/
Has anyone used Cloudflare Warp? I know it got shilled on IPT a bit.
Im a poorfag who doesnt want to pay for a vpn and saw that the Opera gx browser comes with a free vpn that apparently is more akin to a proxy than an actual vpnis it a good idea to use this vpn/browser for torrenting or am I better off getting a real vpn that I have to pay for?I dont plan on using it for anything else other than torrenting
>>1164771You can set up your own encrypted protocol to torrent with you don't have to pay someone to do it for you through an app, a pi is perfect for this. You can use a pi to proxy all day.
Was running my torrents through a seedbox with qb and a nordvpn proxy. But like a month ago this stopped working. Seems to me like nord does not support p2p proxies anymore (vpn still works though). Anybody got the same problem?
>>1175579fuck spectrum. Only isp I can get in my area and they randomly upped the bill $15 after upping it $10 last year
>>1175314This is just one tracker.
>>1186334just be a nigger and dont seed so you dont have to pay for the vpn jew
I was searching for this topic because my country will become red next year and Youtube sent this video to mehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MHBMdTBlokIt seems they are all fucked up. At least acting as a proxy it will let me see beyong the walls
>>1160349this thread is sponsored by nord vpn
>>1166137>Just moved into a new place (university student) and nyaa won't load. Seems like my ISP has put some kinda block on it since when I use my phone on cellular I can access it. Do I need a VPN to bypass this?Most definitely a DNS block, just change your DNS server to either google's 8.8.8.8 or cloudflare's 1.1.1.1I had the same issue when I moved to italy recently, thankfully they don't care otherwise in regards to actually penalizing piracy
>>1160349>>1170049Why not just setup your own VPN on a VPS ? At least that way you're 100% in control (no logs kept)
>>1161709Yeah this is what I always figured. The point is obfuscation, you're not actually going to be accountable to the laws of the country you select.
seedbox doe............
>>1170049if I already have Private Internet Access for like 3 years, should I switch to Mullvad ? what's bad about PIA ?
I don't trust VPNs that's frequently shilled on youtube and frequently has discounts.>>1160349So long as the VPN you're in doesn't care about where you go and what you download, the only country you need is somewhere close and has fast speed.>>1166143I pay Mullvad via some kind of digital card. You should be fine especially since they don't keep receipts permanently. Just avoid paypal.
>>1160349Which country doesn't give a shit on what you download when using a VPN and when I say what you download, I meant everything you'll try to download no matter what it is?
>>1199137Why avoid paypal?
>>1199179I assume he's doing it to avoid any kind of easily traceable money trail from paypal to his bank account
>>1175579Is it some kind of joke or just murrica?In Europe ISP is "not responsible" for the traffic + most ISP for a valid reasons use dynamic IP.Unless you are stealing cards or sharing pedo no ISP will give a shit. Even with a court permit they will say that it is not possible to find out who owned selected IP in particular time. Further more, even if ISP will be forced to search through GBs or TBs of IP tables and will give police your information you can always stay that you do not recognize this action.
>>1199822Romanianon please stfu
>>1160349Colombia, here the government doesnt even know what the fuck is torrenting, we do not have any fucking law against that shit, i can download crap all the fucking day and my ISP wouldnt give a fuck, they dont even track that shit.
>>1161440what im doing.
>>1174486I pay for a month and download tons of shit.Then when I get caught up I get another month. So a month every 6 months or so.
>>1163972local censorship exists especially in western europelike rumble is banned in france rn
>>11809698 in Francei just got charged, and the cop told me that
>>1201756lol nice
If i have to chose between NordVPN and CyberGhost - which you will prefer?I already had Surfshark and it was cost balanced but quite slow.
>>1160349>>1160364>>1194017Can I get a QRD on the nord hate?
>>1203193i mean 8 cops to "fight online hate", i dont suppose they also chase pedos>yes i am the online hate
I am tempted to start torrenting I am currently researching the best VPN to uses I heard TOR is good for torrenting but some of you guys says otherwise so any tips which is the best VPN to use and why using TOR is a bad idea
>>1160349Best Korea
>>1203213I don't know, but I hate them because they refused to refund me once, so I no longer use it. I did like it other than that, great speeds and loads of locations
>>1189228BTN is ratioless does that really count
>>1160351faggot
I use WeVPN.Chose it because it was cheap and stayed with it.And it's exit servers are usually unknown to the big blocklists - e.g. 4chan.
So I'm using mullvad and it's slow af, why
>>1186379It does not hide you IP address. This does not make you anonymous.
ITT: morons and idiots who have no clue how the threat model system functions
>>1206260Still huffing your own farts?
>>1206479mate if your threat[s] would be copyright laws then any damn vpn or vps can get you away with it
>>1206520What's your point? I'm having trouble figuring out just what it is that you're complaining about.
>>1206677Retards here really think that the SIGINT orgs would gangstalk you because you download horsecock porn (hnnng)
>>1175314do you have any tips on setting speed limits when seeding? I'm new to this
For some reason qbittorrent isn't downloading anything. I'm using mullvad on linux. I've configured qbittorrent following a guide I'm pretty sure I found here. Internet still works, I'm able to download things through firefox, but qbittorrent just isn't downloading anything. It'll add the torrent to the queue, then just sit there at 0 forever. Any ideas what the issue might be? I hope this is an ok thread to post this in, I didn't see any others more appropriate.
>>1207225Do you have port forwarding on? Without it you'll get less peers. What happens with popular torrents?
>>1160349Belarus. Piracy is now legal there.P.S. NordVPN, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost, PIA, and others are owned by Kape Technologies which is a Mossad front company. Everything that goes through their servers is logged by five eyes intelligence agencies.

I've been using Nord for years now. They DID have an issue where, while turning the internet killswitch ON/OFF for a moment, some data could leak to ISP. They have addressed the issue and made a more robust killswitch as of a more recent update. And while this caused me to have two specific ISP complaints, I am now happy with the service as it has been improved
>>1199057late reply, but PIA got purchased by Kape Technologies, the same company who owns Express VPN and Cyberghost.

Mullvad or Nord?
