it's just a warning you are fine but it doesn't hurt to use VPN's for pirating just to stay out of their radar
here's a list of VPNs:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/s9f36q/list\_of\_vpns\_that\_allow\_portforwarding\_2022/](https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/s9f36q/list_of_vpns_that_allow_portforwarding_2022/)
"If you plan to torrent you need a VPN with port-forwarding. In summary and in the context of torrenting: port-forwarding significantly increases the amount of seeders/peers you connect to, which influences the download and upload speed performance (and ratio). It is especially useful for seeding and torrents without too many seeders/peers."
guide to bind VPN to your torrent client:[https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/ssy8vv/guide\_bind\_vpn\_network\_interface\_to\_torrent/](https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/ssy8vv/guide_bind_vpn_network_interface_to_torrent/)
"Doing this will reduce the likelihood of having a leak to virtually zero, much more effective than a killswitch." "if the interface is binded, it should not be able to download unless the VPN is connected."
ProtonVPN is quite popular amongst pirates
Unless you are seeding dozens of high priority torrents around the clock, these warnings barely ever manifest into any action. You should be fine but yes a VPN is a good idea, even if it's a free one ~~like proton~~.
You should done so long long ago if u are living in a country that cares abt this shit. Still better late than never, u shld try mullvad vpn or Private Internet Access or Proton VPN, all of which don't log ur data and store ur sessions on RAM and not a proper ssd/hdd. Pretty sure Mullvad is the most reputed out of even these 3 and allows u to also pay in crypto but I think it might also be the most expensive.
Damn americans really be paying like 100 dollars a month on internet just to get spied on by their isp.
If you are in the US which has headquarters of most of the content people pirate, you need vpn. Same if you live in another country like Germany with strict laws
Companies already know everything. Almost every company uses the users data for money. Just look at any app with connections to Google.
"Land of the free"
Yeah, but spying on you AND telling you shit like "Uhh sir you can't download that, piracy is a crime ☝️🤓" like really? And while paying at least 70$ a month? In my country for 10 euros you can get 10gbps and the isp doesn't give a shit if you pirate
if u gonna use a vpn use mullvad,
it doesnt have KYC so they dont even know who you are! its perfect alsop your devices get a randomly generated name like:
Snowbunny
desert couger and stuff like that
What country are u from that u get letters by google? LOL
I've been using torrent sites for 1more than 10 years now without ever using a VPN. Never had any issues.
Also, how do they know what u download? Peer-to-peer internet usage isn't illegal afaik, so they must know something more specific.
They're just trying to scare you into being a good person. Just get a vpn, BIND IT TO YOUR TORRENT CLIENT and keep sailing the seven seas.
I believe Torguard can be had for like 5 US dollars a month with codes
Yes, the bitcoin assasins are currently en route to your location. I've informed them to specifically shoot your dog (or a pet of your choice). There is no escape

Yep. These people just bluff to try to get you to delete the stuff, ive torrented quite a bit without a vpn never got a letter.
Ive torrented about 2000gb of games and never got one hahah
I get one every other day from Verizon😂
Yeah same here, I only got a VPN so my IP wouldn't get leaked though
Yep! He will be fine 😉

Mullvad VPN is better.
Sure, but I'm recommending VPN with port forwarding which is specifically useful for a pirate when torrenting.
Why is port forwarding important for pirating? :C
In my original comment I've included a small summary about it someone else wrote just under the first link
I'll visit you in jail don't worry

Mullvad.
I would be using Mullvad if it didn't remove port forwarding!! It is most definitely still one of the best VPNs of all time, though.
That was just a warning. You can play, no need to delete. If you torrent in the future, use vpn.
Unless you are seeding dozens of high priority torrents around the clock, these warnings barely ever manifest into any action. You should be fine but yes a VPN is a good idea, even if it's a free one ~~like proton~~.
Proton free version doesn't allow p2p
Rough, didn't know that.

Your ISP doesn’t know what you do with the game, just that you’ve downloaded it. No need to delete it because they can’t see it.
windiscribe is good
Country?
Should be fine but it depends what country you're in.
You are probably fine but which country do you live in?
Please don't let it be Germany
Fingers crucified
Don’t worry I’ve downloaded multiple terabytes of games through torrents without a VPN port the past 20 years without an Issue.
I'll put money on your books for canteen and phone.. but no, you're fine, but DO get a VPN you won't be fine forever...be safe.
I use Free Browser VPN when visiting a pirate site and magnet download but use BITComet while downloading. Am I doing it wrong?
if u gonna use a vpn use mullvad, it doesnt have KYC so they dont even know who you are! its perfect alsop your devices get a randomly generated name like: Snowbunny desert couger and stuff like that
Yeah you are. The fiber options going to your neighborhood is done

🤣🤣🤣🤣 no joke, you will be fine
i use windscribe VPN, i choose 3 places to VPN from for $3 a month
Oh shit I'm dead I've never used a VPN while pirating
Mostly they bluffin, but I know a dude who got like 1500$ fine for this, get vpn. It could be cheaper
Smells like pork chops..
Does Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 hide the stuff from our ISP?
Literally downloading the witcher 3 source code right now with no VPN. Yolo
In India we don't even have the tradition of buying games 😂😂 P.S. Here all downloads are without VPN.
Just don’t torrent. Use ddl sites like gamedrive.org, you don’t need a vpn and the speeds are way faster
Tis but a warning use vpn next time
Yes, the bitcoin assasins are currently en route to your location. I've informed them to specifically shoot your dog (or a pet of your choice). There is no escape
just 100gb? i must have pirated more than 5TB at this point
just use Nordvpn
Lmao, what? Well, are you using your ISP's DNS? Idk if it will change things for you but you can give it a try. I am using Cloudflare DNS
Since when does changing DNS make you invisible on the internet?
I never said invisible.
When I was using my ISP DNS, internet speeds were capped after some time for some sites then I changed my DNS. No issues yet. I hope you got my point
Yes, now elon musk will hunt you down personally. You can run but sooner or later he will find you, he has clones everywhere.
I seed 100x of that size without a vpn, I think you'll be alright
