it's an account on a server in some datacenter with beefy pipes and preferable country of origin for torrenting.
finally pulled the trigger on a seedbox recently.
What do you prefer for torrenting?

using nordvpn, got 2 years for like $50 or something
Kayden Adams
Are there some free VPN that I can use to torrent?
Jacob Garcia
anyone willing to let you tunnel all your traffic through them for free is probably not a trustworthy person
there is literally no benefit to providing that service to you for free
Jackson Rivera
>not a trustworthy person
What can they do?
I'm not logging into any accounts, use HTTPS sites and just use torrent to download publicly available data.
Brandon Thomas
my point is normally when someone provides a free service they're gaining something whether its advertising or selling your data, etc.
providing a VPN costs money, because that traffic isn't free. anyone giving you a VPN service for free is probably selling your data or up to something else nefarious (if even a free VPN provider exists)
Jonathan Sanchez
google uses VPN to compress web pages, and until recently opera also provided free VPN.
Point it, if I need to use VPN to bypass certain things, like country block, or torrenting ban.
Are there any VPN that I can use ?
Jace Rodriguez
protonvpn.com should work
don't know how the speeds compare to the paid plan, though.
Colton Roberts
speeds aren't that important, as long as I can access wikipedia and use torrent to download some Linux ISOs.
Landon Morales
the only people who offer a free service that I'd trust are cryptostorm. Speed is highly limited though
