my Nord vpn kicks off and keeps internet accessible to torrents I’m downing. what vpn isn’t going to constant kick me off or has a kill switch that works?
“others might look down on” – if you’re looking into CP, please go fuck yourself and die; either that OR get some serious help, now.
First, NordVPN is not a great VPN for Torrenting. If you go onto YouTube most people will suggest it, but their primary goal is to sell Coupon Codes. The Problem with NordVPN is they don’t have Port Forwarding and the servers are not reliable due to crowding making the users switch servers for faster speeds.
Second, you shouldn’t be relying on a Kill Switch to protect yourself from IP Leakage.
I would recommend giving daiqo’s guide a read. https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/rikthc/list\_of\_recommended\_vpns\_2022/
What is this content others might look down on? Please edit your post and clarify.
It doesn’t matter which VPN you use. If you don’t bind your torrent client with the VPN connection it will always expose itself when your connection drops.
Bind qBittorrent to your VPN. This stops all torrent traffic if your VPN drops it’s connection.
In qBittorrent, go to Settings > Advanced > Network interface and select your VPN interface.
If you don’t know which is your VPN, disconnect it and see which interface disappears.
I have torguard and its gives max speed with no drop an connection. Mullvad is the recommended one for torrenting
Not an expert but I use Private Internet Access for torrents and it’s always worked well for me. Has a kill switch that seems to work fine, as well as port forwarding
I’ve never had a problem with mullvad. It is possible your problem isn’t VPN related though, and is instead with your ISP.
Has anyone used Cyber Ghost VPN?? I need to renew for a VPN today, in some research it appears CYBER Ghost is great for torrenting. Thoughts? Or should I just get Mullvad VPN?
Protonvpn highly recommend one of the best
Sounds like you have an unstable network, are connected via WiFi, and don’t have your Killswitch on or your VPN binded to torrent.
Connect via Ethernet
Enable kill switch
Bind Network Interface to torrent client
Yeah I think you’re onto something. Look at dudes post history…
NO NO NO nothing like that AT ALL! Just worried DMCA
Got that working now …I wish I could have been able to do that in Transmission as I had all my settings in there and was really familiar with it. I guess its Qbittorrent from here on out
I had them both.
Torguard’s great for having consistent top speed (kept constant at 6 MB/s Seeding)
Mullvad’s great for protecting your Privacy (kept going up and down from 4 MB/s to 6 MB/s; didn’t have consistency, but the same max speed as Torguard).
Edit: Should note to OP with Torguard you have to request a Port while Mullvpn makes it easy to setup manually if going to Port Forward.
Private Internet Acces
does PIA beat out Mulled?! I just need something that is going to protect me and if it drops will cut off service to the internet. I feel like NordVPN used to do this but it’s not anymore.
I just bought a new router and the speeds are great 220mbps dl its that this NordVPN not doing its job as it had prior. I can’t hardline ethernet sadly its to far from the input and on different levels.
Can I still be protected on WiFi by binding (I’ll need to look up how to do that)
WTF. I didn’t even look at his history. Yeah, some disturbing junk in there. Letting people like this guy pollute the name of this sub is not a good idea, IMO. He should’ve phrased this question differently, at the very least.
Sorry. Please clarify that in the original post.
Edit that in.
You’ll get used to it quickly.
