I don’t live in the US, so my ISP doesn’t really seem to care what I torrent, but the megathread vehemently recommends to always use one. Since VPNs aren’t cheap and I’m on a strict budget (wouldn’t pirate otherwise), is it really that dangerous to torrent without one?

    Just remember with free things - if you’re not paying for the product, you are the product!

      Yeah but for ProtonVPN i would say your safe, since they make money by selling your the VPN itself, which is a pretty good and secure VPN
