Oh motherfucker PIA is the one I use
Thankfully the main reason I have it is just to steal video games but I’ll make sure that doesn’t renew
Mullvad is what I use, haven't heard of any controversies with them.
I used to use Mullvad but switched because PIA was cheaper and a looooot of sites and apps were blocking me when I used Mullvad.
Fuck you Wendys I don’t want to turn off my VPN on work wifi just to order food
Seconding Mullvad, you can send them an envelope of cash or buy a code off amazon if you really care about it that much. Technically they're in a 14 eyes country but no one here is important enough to worry about that.
The only problem is that they don't support port forwarding, so if you're a serious torrent person that can be disqualifying.
I torrent with mullvad, it seeds fine.
But it would seed better with port forwarding, as all VPNs would. Which is the point.
why do you need a VPN for that? Can you get in trouble if you don't use it?
Yeah, I’ve gotten letters from my ISP in years prior. For torrenting Silicon Valley and Gambo Thrones if I remember right
US seems to be pretty strict with it's IP laws, crazy stuff. I've seeded like a 100TB of data and never gotten anything from my ISP
in canada isps are obligated to pass on what IP holders accuse you of, but they don't actually do anything about it. the rights holders are the ones tracking torrents or whatever. i've torrented tons of music and movies and the only time i got an email was when i torrented the lady ghostbusters lol
ive heard that in the us an ISP can decide to stop providing service to you if you get too many tho
I believe the US works much the same way
Depends on where you live, but they like to periodically make examples out of people and sue them for like half a million dollars
