Proton VPN Review

"I highly recommend PROTON VPN best service for torrenting in my opinion and its worth the monthly subscription"

"... to peer file sharing, it has been valuable. You missed all the Black Friday sales for VPNs. I use proton vpn free on my phone, I have a different paid one that works better on my computer. The speed slowdown is minimal on my phone and non..."

"Proton, any VPN that sponser YTers have terrible privacy policies. Air, Mullvad and Proton are the best for privacy focused. I recently moved to Proton because they are better for P2P."

"Torrent 👍🏽 and I did a bit of testing. I torrented about 3 games, no VPN. Got a letter in the mail from my ISP. Got a VPN and Bravely(Foolishly) tested it again and torrented again and have been torrenting with Proton specifically fo..."

"Odd you should not have problems with proton, normally it would be some other , proton,nord, Mullvad, airvpn all work perfectly, you can actually host and build your own tracker. I used to over glutun with airvpn and didn't have any issue..."

"Proton for Streaming Mullvad for downloading"

"proton for best torrenting. mulvad for best anonymousy and privacy."

"it’s so easy to 🏴‍☠️ nowadays and these sites are fancy as hell now. just download an adblock and a vpn (proton vpn is a good free one!) and you’re set. pls stop giving netflix money."

"@ProtonVPN That sneak private tracker looking at this post like 👀 I've to confess, I expected Proton VPN to suck ass based on my experience of the past, but being able to see 20GB "flying" in just 5min, I mean 🫶😌 Protect this service at all costs."

"...still am with few thousands spent 🤣 Then got introduced to private trackers, dude, 20GB in 5 minutes. It's unreal, and everything is routed via Proton VPN, no VPN = No goodies!"

"...rted the way it used to be, which makes things a bit confusing. If that is the case, it feels like Proton VPN might be the safer pick right now, especially for people who care about both privacy and torrenting. I am wondering if there are ..."

"switch to a VPN that port forwards. Proton, air, windscribe, PIA..."

"well first stop the sub to expressvpn, its junk lol and owned by israeli company you need a vpn that allows port forwarding, generally proton and airvpn are decent options for this."

"Proton. I used the free version for a long time before buying the plan. it was fine for everything I just needed the torrent servers."

"@iamrollandex if you are worried about this get a vpn like proton that supports p2p and set up a raspberry pi to host the streams so your pc doesnt get hacked.the chance of getting hacked through vlc is very low but your chance of getting hacked looking for links is high."

"@Gangmer2 I was doing my thing in the US for years without issue, until this week. I got the letter. They'll catch you one day, it's not if. It's when. Get a VPN, one year of proton ks like $45"

"They both have kill switch. Proton is better for torrenting. Kill switch isnt going to save you from your ip leaking while torrenting. What you have to do is bind the vpn and torrent client (qbittorrent) in the advanced settings. Then yo..."

"SurfShark is so shit. Everyday I regret buying this god forsaken VPN. Not once have I ever had a VPN that blocks torrenting until this piece of shit SS. Thats like function #1 of why people get VPNs. Definitely switching over to Proton."

"@travessty @YourAnonNews Coughcough- Tor Browser Coughcough-Proton VPN Coughcough- Malware Bytes antivirus Coughcough- Pirate Bay."

"for what it's worth, Mullvad stopped support for port-forwarding, whereas Proton (to the best of my knowledge) still allows it"

"Yup. Been a customer since 2016. I have a Proton Visionary account and I use my VPN.ac as my VPN unless I'm torrenting (Proton has port forwarding) because so many sites/apps block Proton servers but hardly anybody blocks my VPN.ac besides ..."

"ExpressVPN vs Mullvad: Which One’s Actually Better in 2026? I spent some time this month testing ExpressVPN and Mullvad because I wanted to move away from relying on free VPNs all the time. I had been switching between Proton and Windscr..."

"@Linkerman300 @x_is_pretty_dum @uwukko Mullvad doesn't support port forwarding and afaik you can send cash to proton anonymously so what makes mullvad better"

"...XQt these days. I'm using my Mac more than my PC so I rather enjoy the ability to give my VM 4GB of RAM and still have it do everything I need it to (Proton VPN bound to qBittorrent, some browsing)"

"1. Wireguard manual configs with adblocking like Mullvad and ProtonVPN does. 2. Port forwarding"

"I feel the same with private trackers. Sometimes I get a torrent to seed 1:1, sometimes.... Meanwhile I'm seeding 1tb+ non-stop of what I download from public trackers. PD: Using Transmission with ProtonVPN and 600/600."

"my suggestion is drop the vpn for torrrenting for a fraction of the prict get a seedbox a 1tb shared then you download your torrents there and transfer via sftp/ rsync it will be encrypted and your isp only see a ssh connection and the torr..."

"Do you use proton for direct download or torrent?"

"What an obnoxious answer lol why would I ask chatgpt its garbage. Nordvpn works just fine. I know this because I used it before proton. They have dedicated p2p servers and you can download torrents without issue. The issue is lack of port..."

"I don't know. Proton load balances so I think that means any underused server doesn't stay underused for long. I'm currently thinking the easiest is to just rotate servers every three hours. Then if one IP is being blocked, the next one mi..."

"Thanks! How’s mullvad for speed compared to proton? I’m mainly looking for strong privacy and good torrenting performance, especially with features like a kill switch."

"@Sunday_Bliss123 @grok I use free proton vpn option,I was learning torrenting using qbitorrent but I don't understand whether its my network speed I don't see list of seeders and leeches as they demonstrate in YouTube"

"I need a vpn to download RBR, pls help. (USE TORRENT!) RBR takes 30 gigs minimum for the torrent file it self, i cant use windscribe because its 10 GB data limit per month. and about protonvpn, i heard that the free plan cant be used for t..."

"Proton is an exception. Their free variant is slower and doesn't allow file-sharing anyway "

"Best Free VPN for Torrenting in 2026? I was downloading a few Linux images recently and realized it probably was not smart to do it directly on my regular internet connection. I have used free VPNs before for simple browsing, but I had nev..."

"Switching servers won’t be a problem just depends on your client. For example I use gluetun for qbittorrent. Proton picks a random port every time you connect to a server so you have to manually change the port in qbit every time it sta..."

"@StarkPrivacy @grok How come Mullvad can continue to operate as one of the best out there and how come many others have sold out, such as PIA or ProtonVPN. Who are some similar competitors to Mullvad but offer Port Forwarding for p2p?"

"Best Free VPN for Torrenting in 2026? I have been looking for a free VPN that can handle occasional torrenting since my paid plan ran out and I was not ready to renew it yet. I do not download much, mostly some old shows and a few open sou..."
