Is ProtonVPN worth it?

@piracy

Got reminded of this while reading about ProtonMail. The reason I haven’t gotten into proper #piracy is that I don’t have a VPN for torrenting, and the reason I don’t have a VPN is that I don’t #torrent. So it would be nice if I got a good VPN while #degoogling myself.

Will ProtonVPN rat me out to Comcast? I know some VPNs don’t hide what you’re downloading from your ISP, for reasons I don’t fully understand.

    My guy I probably have more experience with this than you do.

    Based on you’re comments in this thread, no.

    It’s weird you’re recommending advanced tools like Prowlarr to someone without piracy experience

    You said the quote above, not me. So which is it? You have more experience than me, or you’re “someone without piracy experience?”

    Really? You talk as if I have no understanding of basic computer terminology like SSL.

    How in the world would I know who you are and what your experience level is with SSL? I was simply providing a thorough answer to you or anyone else who would care to read it later. That’s all. Not everything is a personal jab at you and your fragile psyche. You’re being overly sensitive about a non-issue.

    imagine trying to use that defense in court.

    For the vast majority of people, that’s never going to happen. If that’s something that definitely can happen in your country (from just viewing a piracy website) then name your country in your comments so most people don’t get confused. Otherwise, you’re blowing it way out of proportion.

    I was refering to the proctol. You can just say bittorrent since it’s a protocol. I don’t use either of these clients specifically I mainly use qBittorrent.

    And this confusion is generally why most knowledgeable users talk about “torrenting” instead of naming the protocol, which is also the name of a torrent client that is widely used by newer & uninformed users.

    Looking at your post history, its clear you just like to argue. Maybe that’s why you thought I was talking down to you, because that’s something you try to do to other people. I came here to help. This conversation is over.
