I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?
You’re probably fine, but I recommend just getting a free VPN to keep your ISP at bay. I don’t like Proton, but they do have a free VPN. Google around and you can find some others too, if that one is too slow
You could even use cloudflare warp. Works fine for torrenting.
true, forgot about them!

Proton free plan doesn’t support torrenting, sadly.
Just remember with free things - if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product!
Yeah but for ProtonVPN i would say your safe, since they make money by selling your the VPN itself, which is a pretty good and secure VPN
