Is Windscribe a good VPN for torrenting? - eviltoast

I was just curious about this because I haven’t seen anything on this community, and I don’t want to get in trouble with my ISP since it’s the only reliable one in my area. If so, is it exclusively the paid tiers, or free tiers too?

    I have no experience with Windscribe other than that I recall looking into them when I was personally looking to replace Mullvad.

    All I can offer is that their pricing is pretty much on par with ProtonVPN, who I have found to be very solid.

    Proton also has a free tier, though I’m not sure how well P2P works on it.

        As the other user said, they removed support for port forwarding. They are my #1 pick for anyone where that is not a concern.

          Yep, port forwarding is gone. Never used it before but now that I actually need it it’s gone. In other areas I’d say Mullvad is number one for VPNs. Sweden based, great transparency, fair price model and no shady parent companies.
