Did anyone had problems or got in trouble while using an free VPN for torrenting?

so i wanted to start to torrent but everyone says “don´t use free VPNs”. but is that really true? because hideme VPN says that they are not saving logs and you can torrent infinitly with it(of course with an speedlimit).

Do not trust a free VPN. You get what you pay for.

I had a free Windscribe account for a couple of years before I decided to get pro. Other than the download limitations and fewer servers available, I didn’t have a problem. I did “get in trouble” once but only because I torrented a file and had forgotten to turn the vpn on. This was also before I knew about binding your client.

Just checked their website, but couldn’t find anything like „torrent for free“.

As a comparison, Proton also offers a free tier…. but you can’t torrent for free with it.

don’t risk it. https://torguard.net/vpn-promo/

Yes, my problem was torrent wouldn’t leech. Seems that they block torrenting lol.

I use cloudflare warp. Just as fast on or off. Email works with it on. Torrentday recommend it.

You cant trust even paid vpn companies most give to 3 parties info So you have to be careful especially in the no log policy and if they have sold info in the past

ur right. I´m stupid i thought I read that somewhere that i can torrent

HaHa. Blocked my Proton from accessing that link. :slight_smile:

Oh for sure. You’re 100% right.
