      Pedos, COVID, war et al is an excuse. After the recent raid, I believe that to avoid becoming a honeypot, they cut off the most risky source of activities - P2P torrenting. My basis of this claim are three things – torrent traffic is colossal, and torrents are mostly used for piracy (Mullvad evading DMCA issues) and ProtonVPN free tier does the exact same thing with banning P2P torrenting.

        Do you know a not sus VPN that supports p2p torrenting? I 🏴‍☠️ tens of games a month and recently our fascist government just passed a draconian anti piracy law, what VPN should I look to?

          There are only 4 left, with each having various degrees of issues.

          • AirVPN: the only one with multiple ports for forwarding, but no logging policy is an issue
          • IVPN: the strongest VPN option but with only 1 port for forwarding
          • ProtonVPN: good option overall but no anonymous payment option
          • Windscribe: good option but with limited port forwarding and an unfortunate incident in 2019 (no customer data was compromised though)

          All I want to say is we have limited time as pirates unless an underground net is established that is not leech-y like private trackers are. Give or take, less than two years, being optimistic as a small scale data curator/hoarder.
