Proton mail has a free VPN that works really well. Switzerland is part of world coverage tier, but Netherlands is just as good at hiding torrenting from ISP's. And it can even use a 'stealth mode' that works fairly well to get around VPN blockers by using unusual protocols for the traffic.
Does proton's VPN free tier not block p2p file sharing usage?
It should but I never tested it. I don't torrent much. I'll need a torrent that is almost guaranteed to get an email from an isp to test it.
It will just refuse to download anything in your client, plus there are sites that let you check your IP when you torrent.
