If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name. Reply the reason to it. This make it easier to understand the real life user cases.

P.S: I am only looking for paid VPNs please don’t mention “free vpn”.

    So… at the risk of humiliating myself,
    I’ve never once used a VPN in my entire life.

    I pirated games, movies, shows, music, software… and the worst thing that happened to me was getting a letter from Telus once or twice saying “Hey. Don’t do that.”

    That was 5 years ago

    I know it’s bad practice. But is a VPN 100% necessary? Even a free one?

      That’s because you’re in Canada. We don’t need to worry like Americans can. It’s not really necessary for us.

      Same here. Started with IRC, then private trackers. Always force encryption. Zero issues. VPN is a waste of money for piracy.
