To climb higher in this countdown, we'd really like the service to begin auditing the no-logging policy to give us a bit more confidence in its privacy credentials. Indeed, Hotspot actually admits that there is some logging of sessions. Nothing potentially harmful to you - we're talking about session duration, devices and IP addresses. Again, nothing that we'd really consider a red flag, but it does mean that we prefer the above torrenting VPNs in this list.
Furthermore, Onion over VPN is supported for extra privacy. But Nord has gone the extra step by inviting external auditors PricewaterhouseCoopers to verify the security of its apps.
And a bug bounty program gives an incentive for anyone to uncover and report security problems with the service. P2P is not supported on all servers, but Nord won't leave you trying to find a needle in a haystack. It implements a really easy one-click 'P2P' option from its main interface, to ensure that you're directed straight to an appropriate server when you're preparing to torrent.
It also offers ample server coverage, an automatic kill switch for Windows, Mac and iOS with an easy-to-activate equivalent on Android , DNS leak blocking, a good client and great performance levels with above-average download speeds. Crypto is supported including Bitcoin , and you have the option to try and cancel with its day money-back guarantee.
The multi-year plan is clearly the best choice in terms of pure value for money. It sure sounds comforting on the surface, but does PIA have what it takes to match your needs? Well, let's face it For starters, there's P2P support on every one of its many servers how many servers is a little unclear right now - up until recently its site claimed an enormous 35,, but that has recently disappeared from the site.
And you'll have learned enough from this guide by now to know that its clean sweep of kill switches on desktop Windows and Mac and mobile VPN apps Android and iOS , is enough to get in our good books. But the PIA engineers have gone the extra mile by making 'port forwarding' available, too. Now, the jury is out on just how useful this is - see the bottom of this article for the thoughts of other torrenting VPN providers - but toggle the setting on to enable redirecting of incoming connections to bypass a NAT firewall and so help improve P2P download speeds.
Again, it's up to you whether or not you use this. But the fact PIA lags behind the direct competition a little when it comes to pure download speeds might help make your decision for you - we suppose it depends just how long you can wait to download that latest blockbuster What's more, the multi-year plan that Private Internet Access offers is among the most reasonably priced around.
If Surfshark is already on your VPN shortlist, it's most likely to be because of its price. It always features prominently in our cheap VPN guide, thanks to the rock-bottom cost of its multi-year plan.
An absolute bargain, frankly. Especially when you consider that Surfshark really has the goods to back up that status. For torrent fiends there's P2P support on most servers although it would be nice if they made it more obvious which ones have it , zero-knowledge DNS servers, Bitcoin support, split tunneling, and even URL and ad blocking.
Going back to value for money, a single subscription covers unlimited devices. So you can get the VPN working on your PC, Mac, mobiles, TV streaming devices, games consoles, router, and everything else that's compatible - and maybe a few of your friends and family members, too! It includes a kill switch on Windows, Macs, Android and iPhones. That's great, but the were some minor issues with it on Windows during our testing where we didn't feel like we were given a clear enough warning when the connection drops.
We'd highly recommend it - especially if you're main reason for doing so is to downloaded pirated videos and games. Because torrenting VPNs effectively make your movements online anonymous, nobody can tie your activity back to your IP address.
So you don't need to worry about aggressive letters through the door telling you to cease and desist. It's a given that it's fast, secure and easy to use. But it also benefits from really effective kill switches on its desktop clients and Android app and we really like that its thorough no-logging policy is independently audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers. It's an excellent choice for torrenters. As well as giving all the data you exchange online end-to-end encryption, torrenting with a VPN turned on also helps to keep your identity completely anonymous.

When using torrents you're exposed to the constant danger of violating copyrights and being warned for it. The consequences can be unpleasant and expensive. Use Torrent with VPN is pretty easy. After setting up an account at your favourite VPN providers website, you can download the VPN client and connect through a secure tunnel.
With a Kill Switch you are pretty safe when up- and downloading Torrents, because when your VPN connection breaks, the app will make sure there is no more traffic going in and out and revealing your original IP address.
