thank you :)
VPNs are still worth it for that purpose, particularly torrenting… Not sure who is saying this but they are wrong.
Somehow I’ve gotten dinged several times by my isp while torrenting behind a VPN. I’m not sure how it is happening because I am disciplined in my use and all the apps related to it will only function if the VPN is up and running. It’s almost as if there’s something in video file itself that activates outside of the VPN somehow. Or if private internet access is not offering comprehensive protection any longer.
Your OS might be leaking your DNS queries.
Bind your client to the torrenting software! Even with the best VPNs leaks can and will happen, so prepare for it.
Seedboxes are pretty cool.
I think VPN’s are not a magic bullet but they serve a purpose.
