I’ve noticed many people promote VPNs for torrenting to evade legal troubles in some places. But I wonder how do VPN companies get away with legal complaints? Especially if their servers are located in Germany or Japan, where piracy is heavily penalized.

p.s. I have never used a VPN for piracy, and I have never received any DMCA emails.

    PIA is the best for torrents. It is $79 for 39 months which is $2.03/mo and they have port forwarding. That’s less than half of pretty much every other provider.

    I have had 3 clients (one for a specific tracker, one for everything else, and an extra seedbox) going 24/7 for years with no problems. No complaints about the speeds either. I frequently saturate full gigabit on both downloads and uploads.

      I have 4 seed boxes I run on pia. My only issue is that the port changes from time to time. I have to check on them every week or so. It’s also one of the only court tested Vpns, though it did change hands after that
