I prefer one that is very fast and reliable. Not too expensive and I don’t mind using it for years.
Read this post.
i’ve used perfect privacy and mullvad.
I’d recommend both. PP is a little more expensive, but feels like a very no-bs vpn.
Mullvad has fast connecting servers (and optional wireguard and openvpn) and some special features like Split tunneling which i find very useful. I will stay with mullvad. Also port-forwarding is very easy to set up.
Proton by far. They have servers desecrated for torrenting. It’s their P2P servers. They have affordable pricing too.
Any paid vpn is good for torrenting needs.
This.
TLDR: Beginner or ease of use? Get Mullvad or IVPN. Techie and want options? Consider AirVPN. Need streaming? Get OVPN. Then set up port-forwarding, bind your interface and off you go.
Second for mullvad. The price is great and it’s very privacy focused. For example, your account is literally a number you login with, nothing else. And you can pay with cash or crypto.
Mullvad isnt good for streaming nor do they support streaming officially.
Why is Port forwarding required? Never did that when setting up Mullvad or any other VPN. Is it important? Thanks.
Yet they lack the most important which is (proper) port forwarding.
