It looks like I have nothing more to add to the conversation than the fact that almost every vpn which has a free plan doesn’t allow torrenting. That’s it folks. Ignore the post. Gonna not delete it because, well for the archieve ig

Here’s what I learnt, almost every vpn which has a free version doesn’t allow torrenting. Not even protonvpn, however if apparently atlasvpn allows it, but atlasvpn didn’t work for me, so I am gonna go take a nap AND abandon this thread.


I was wondering how you torrent using qbittorrent and manage to stay anonymous. I realize I can use a VPN, but VPN networks can fail. Apparently, there is a kill switch which can be applied so that qbittorent would kill all processes when the VPN is disconnected, I was wondering how one could do this. I live in a country where torrenting might be cracked down, so I just want to be secure and not take any chances.

Also, I realize I should not torrent over the tor network but what about VPN are they built to handle such a load?

PS: I won’t download more than 300mbs per day.

    You can bind qbittorrent to the vpn network interface. If it’s not there, no traffic. That’s my approach.

    You should not torrent over the tor network, but you can torrent over the I2P network. qBittorrent even has experimental I2P support built in.
